My serenity prayer

This is my hometown, so it hits close to home. Particularly tragic, for me, since my life is dedicated to ending this nonsense.

What is wrong with people that they have such a hard time admitting that, maybe, especially on the big things, perhaps, they just might be wrong?

This is the problem with contemporary liberal democratic politics. And this is one of the more extreme consequences of that more fundamental failure of our humanity.

The violence of people like Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Queda, the Castro regime, Kim Jong Il, and the totalitarian Communist government in China all reflect the very same and ugly impulse.

What is wrong with us that we refuse to give it up?

We are fools is what is wrong.

May we find the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
