Kiss Me

An honest answer
is like a kiss on the lips.
~ Proverbs 24

Watermelon Man

The trees said to the fig tree,
Come and be our king!

But the fig tree replied,
Should I give up my fruit,
so good and sweet,
to hold sway over the trees?

Then the trees said to the vine,
Come and be our king!
~ Judges 9

Sitting In My Tree

At least there is hope for a tree:
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its new shoots will not fail.
~ Job 14

A Bitch Too Far

The woman said:
I know
that Messiah is coming
and when he comes,
he will explain everything to us

Warrior Cops:
The Ominous Growth of Paramilitarism
in American Police Departments

In the Year of iDecline, Twenty Eleventy...

Now, if only I could harness the power of Orwell spinning in his grave to fire up my Tesla coil the Bongatorium would be complete...

The primary mission of a police officer traditionally has been to "keep the peace." Those whom an officer suspects to have committed a crime are treated as just that - suspects. Police officers are expected, under the rule of law, to protect the civil liberties of all citizens, even the "bad guys." For domestic law enforcement, a suspect in custody remains innocent until proven guilty.

Soldiers, by contrast, are trained to identify people they encounter as belonging to one of two groups -- the enemy and the non-enemy -- and they often reach this decision while surrounded by a population that considers the soldier an occupying force. Once this identification is made, a soldier's mission is stark and simple: kill the enemy, "try" not to kill the non-enemy.

Indeed, the Soldier's Creed declares, "I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat." This is a far cry from the peace officer's creed that expects its adherents "to protect and serve."

Notwithstanding this concern, however, Americans should remain mindful bringing military-style training to domestic law enforcement has real consequences. When police officers are dressed like soldiers, armed like soldiers, and trained like soldiers, it's not surprising that they are beginning to act like soldiers.

And remember: a soldier's main objective is to kill the enemy.

My Name Is Nobody

He was despised
and rejected
by mankind,
a man of suffering,
and familiar with pain.
Like one
from whom people
hide their faces
he was despised,
and we held him
in low esteem.
~ Isaiah 53

Behold The Obamanable Bushman

These people are blemishes
at your love feasts,
eating with you
without the slightest qualm—
shepherds who feed only themselves.
They are clouds without rain,
blown along by the wind;
autumn trees,
without fruit and uprooted—
twice dead.
They are wild waves of the sea,
foaming up their shame;
wandering stars,
for whom blackest darkness
has been reserved forever.
~ Jude 1

Enemies disguise themselves with their lips,
but in their hearts they harbor deceit.
~ Proverbs 26

Eleventy Leventy Leven

He asked the LORD,
“Why have you brought
this trouble on your servant?
What have I done
to displease you
that you put the burden
of all these people on me?
~ Numbers 11:11

Save The Racoons of Billerica

Save The Racoons of Billerica

There is a new daycare center on Treble Cove Drive in Billerica that has been trapping raccoons in their rubbish bins....whilst leaving their rotting garbage outside.

We have saved the poor creatures on a daily basis for the past six months.... placing boards and blankets into the bins to allow them to escape. This evening, the (out of state) staff would not allow the poor creatures to be released, and instead, called the local police to establish their "right" to trap and kill the racoons.

We would appreciate any ideas or assistance you could offer. This is entirely NOT acceptable! These are innocent animals, lured into bins by piles of open garbage. The animals in Billerica have lived side by side with our community for over 400 years, and now that a turnkey daycare centre has interloped into our midst...... all wildlife must die??

The Daycare Centre is located on Treble Cove Road & Biagiotti Way in Billerica!

We need some ideas and some kind thoughtful people!

God Bless you All!

As for humans,
God tests them
so that they may see
that they are like the animals.
~ Ecclesiastes 3

I've Been Drinking

Those who sit at the gate mock me,

Let's Kill All The Beautiful People

I am going to bring foreigners against you,
the most ruthless of nations;
they will draw their swords
against your beauty and wisdom
and pierce your shining splendor.
~ Ezekiel 28

Let's kill all the beautiful people
String them up by their beautiful hair
Let's kill all the beautiful people
Have the world to ourselves.
Let's kill all the shiny and gifted
The clever ones that make me feel small
The strong, the brave, the self-assured ones
Let's kill them all.
Sing with me, children!
Let's kill all the beautiful people
String them up by their beautiful hair
Let's kill all the beautiful people
Have the world to ourselves.
Let's kill all the happy, secure ones
The ones who think we've got other skills
The ones who say "But you're beautiful inside"
Let's give them pills.
Let's kill all the beautiful people
String them up by their beautiful hair
Let's kill all the beautiful people
Have the world to ourselves.
Kill and maim and gaily garrote them
The ever-so-humble, the thoughtless, the thin
The ones who want to watch over and help us
Let's do them in.
Everybody sing!
Let's kill all the beautiful people
Men of Harlech!
String them up by their beautiful hair
The Women's Institute!
Let's kill all the beautiful people
Have the world to ourselves.
People of France!
Laissez-nous tuer le beau monde
Pendons-les par leurs beaux cheveux
Aled Jones!
Let's kill all the beautiful people
Have the world to ourselves
All together!
Let's kill all the beautiful people
String them up by their beautiful hair
Everybody in the whole world!
Let's kill all the beautiful people
Have the world to ourselves.

You Won't See Me

But when you pray, go into your room,
close the door and pray to your Father,
who is unseen. Then your Father,
who sees what is done in secret,
will reward you...

who hears the words of GOD,
who has knowledge
from the Most High,
who sees a vision
from the Almighty,
who falls prostrate,
and whose eyes are opened...

I Think I See The Light

You, LORD, are my lamp;
the LORD turns my darkness into light.

All who see me mock me;
they hurl insults,
shaking their heads.
