Mel Gibson claims to not be a bigot
August 2, 2006 on 6:03 am | In Media Buzz | 4 CommentsHow can he admit to the bigot comments and make the claim to not be a bigot at the same time. The arrest seems to have been handle properly despite initial reports to the contrary. Alchohol brings out the worst in some people. I think he must have at least some of these feelings or they would not have come out of his mouth. Some say alchohol brings out the truth, I woudn’t go that far. But I would say his comments did have some degree of truth to them. Maybe this will get him to rethink his true feelings towards jews. I would hope so at least. He has nobody (or nothing including alcohol) to blame but himself. He needs treatment for the drinking and more. This has got to be a nightmare for him from a PR point of view. But he made his bed and now he has to sleep in it.
War: the cause is it oil, money, or religion?
July 23, 2006 on 10:20 am | In Media Buzz | No CommentsIt is often quoted that money is the root of all evil. However isn’t equally true that religious differences are the root of all wars? Whether or not the direct cause of conflict, it can be observed that opposing sides almost always have different religious beliefs. The almost wanna be a civil war in Iraq and the Israel vs. Hezbollah conflict in Lebanon are current examples. Religion could only be the solution if all sides unify their religious beliefs. Tolerance can ease tensions but only unity will lead to lasting peace. But which religion should it be? All will say mine… One world under Good we trust. If all could worship GOOD rather than a particular GOD we would all be better off. It is my opinion that god is simply the personification of all that is good.
