I HATE BIG TRUCKS! (and I cannot lie)

I know I cannot be the only one who misses a much happier and simpler time in this country. We are so divided and contentious that I find myself angry so much of the time over the most inane things. Take for instance the obnoxious driver in his super-sized truck today who was so desperate to make a turn across oncoming traffic that it didn't matter to him that there were six people attempting to rightfully cross that intersection as directed by the "WALK" sign. Arrogance seeping from his pores he drove at us with reckless abandon and hatefully stared at us as if we had intentionally blocked his path. I was so annoyed by his behavior I wanted to damage the pristine paint job on his new truck. Of course the reality is that the paint job will be destroyed soon enough when he chooses the wrong car to cut off and ends up in an accident. I can remember a time when I would have been able to step up on the sidewalk, think "asshole", and move on. Today that didn't happen. I am still annoyed by his behavior. It seems there is so much of similar behavior anymore. No one cares about obeying the laws of traffic let alone treating each other with common decency. The religious right thinks we are in a moral war in this country because gays and lesbians are being given a modicum of what are inherently human rights. The true moral dilemma in this country are the lies we display to our children by our actions. We spew forth hatred and violence rather than face our ignorance and educate ourselves. We excuse our own bad behavior but condemn the actions of others. We manipulate truth to serve our own advancement. I am so tired of so called religious people using the bible to condemn. Jesus himself said, "Stop judging others and you will not be judged. For others will treat you as you treat them. Whatever measure you use in judging others, it will be used to measure how you are judged" (Matthew 7:1-2) Go in peace to love and serve the Lord!
