Tao Meditation: Mercy

I really liked today's poem from my Tao book, it spoke of one of the few times to rise above the nature of things. The item was with mercy. I agree. For so long I've wanted to crack the living crap out of some people, but still, they live. A sign of a love that goes well beyond me.

I say this as I observe Emperor Bush's newest confection. A commercial where he points out that the economy is on the rise and that 4. something jobs are back.

Didn't he lose 10 million jobs in the first place?

He wanted to improve improvished schools by subjecting them to testing and analysis.

But he didn't pay for it.

I even saw his robot at the Hall of Presidents mention that we must work "together" for a better nation.

And then he alienates gays and lesbians with a consistutional amendment.

I suppose the mere fact that I remember these faux pas is because I am unable to be merciful. I'm thinking that needs to change.

He can be who he wants to be, he just won't have my vote.

I think that's merciful enough.

Let him be a good man in Texas. They need it.
