Emily C.: What can I do to help Damion?

Damion S.: I would pray first. But look for an American Red cross. Or maybe Samaritan’s purse. I’m going to donate blood this week. Maybe tomorrow.

Charlie C.: No red cross.

Rayn: Red Cross Built Exactly 6 Homes For Haiti With Nearly Half A Billion Dollars In Donations:

The following correspondence originally took place here, upon the Facebook page, “Logical Anarchy“…

Logical Anarchy: 37,000 people die every year on government roads. That’s way higher than gun violence. We need to ban roads. They are far more dangerous than guns.

Rayn: Muh Roads! NO! 🙁

Logical Anarchy: Sorry man, we need to have common sense legislation on who can use roads. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

Empathy is a Rare Quality, Indeed!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “The Liberty Revolution,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Empathy (noun): the ability to share someone else's feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in their situation"

“Empathy (noun): the ability to share someone else’s feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in their situation”

My Commentary: A lizard I know once matter-of-factly wrote, “I like drones… better than casualties.” What up, doublethink? In his infinite liberal, progressive “wisdom,” he somehow determined the lives of innocent foreign women and children to be less valuable than that of aggression-initiating, war-criminal-controlled, foreign-land-occupating American troops…

Empathy is a rare quality, indeed… Too many are quick to take the side of the Accuser, and expose themselves for the progeny of Cain they really are! For these sorts of morally-bankrupt Individuals, breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the innocent is like engaging in prayer, and listening to their war-criminal-in-chief speak is like attending a sermon!

“[They] are of their father, the Adversary, and the lusts of [their] father (Cain) [they] will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the Truth, because there is no Truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” – Yahuchanan [“Yahu is Gracious’] (John) 8:44

Killed in Another One of the American Empire’s Illegal and Immoral Wars

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following status update here, posted by peace activist, Cindy Sheehan, and originally shared it to my own wall, along with commentary…

Cindy Sheehan cries before a painting of her son, Casey, who was killed in Bagdad, Iraq in April of 2004

Cindy Sheehan: Today, my precious son, Casey would have been 35 if he weren’t killed in another one of the Empire’s illegal and immoral wars. Obama says that he believes in “American exceptionalism” with “every fiber” of his being because of our violent meddling in everyone else’s business, but on days like today, I not only think of our tragic loss, but of the Iraqi mother who emailed me to tell me that her son died in the same battle Casey was killed in. The difference is, her son was defending his community, my son was “exceptional.” Our mother’s pain is the same.

My Commentary: “Think About it, You Might Learn Something”
