Psalm 146

Sorry folks, i was in Buffalo at a funeral for the past few days. Until I get caught up with work, I leave you with the following, for those of you thinking that salvation is going to come from the Democrats who were elected last week:

"I put no trust in princes, in mere mortals powerless to save.
When they breathe their last, they return to the earth;
that day all their planning comes to nothing."

And for many of the zeros in Washington, planning comes to nothing appreciably before they return to the earth.

Here is a meditation on the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday from an article in the latest Z Magazine called “Thanksgiving: A National Day of Mourning for Indians.”

"The first official “Day of Thanksgiving” was proclaimed in 1637 by Governor Winthrop. He did so to celebrate the safe return of people from the Massachusetts Bay Colony who had gone to Mystic, Connecticut to participate in the massacre of over 700 Pequot women, children, and men.

About the only true thing in the whole mythology is that these pitiful European strangers would not have survived their first several years in “New England” were it not for the aid of Wampanoag people. What Native people got in return for this help was genocide, theft of their lands, and never-ending repression. They were treated either as quaint relics from the past or virtually invisible."

The preceding two quotes were taken from a blog I recently discovered called http://catholicanarchy.org/.
