There are two turning lanes to go right on Mockingbird off of the Northbound 75 access road. The light turned green, and I was rockin' out. Nothing like a good dose of STP. In the left turning lane I started to go with energy. I had my right turn signal on and so did the the Jeep to my right in the other turning lane. It happened pretty fast, but I saw it coming, but couldn't do anything about it, the median to my left was full of concrete and poles and flowers. I was parallel with the Cherokee. A car in front of the Cherokee stepped on the brakes to stop or turn or avoid something; I didn't really watch since my eyes were drawn to the fender of the Cherokee rapidly moving my way. Next thing I knew the Cherokee decided that I would be no match for its sporty brawn. The Cherokee clawed its way all the way down the entire left side of my car. My first accident, and not my fault. It happened but I was calm, though I was a bit aggravated after I saw my mirror dangling by the electrical cord. I pulled over. I was glad to see two things: it was a woman and she appeared to speak English. I greeted her with the standard "are you ok?" Turns out she was a nice lady, probably sixties, and had pink stripes in her hair. She didn't get out of the Cherokee, probably because... well, I don't know why. Her car had minimal damage. My car was the victim. Her business card says she has a studio on Elm St. - downtown Dallas. I think she's an artist. Maybe she's famous. Accidents happen.
America elects a pro-choice candidate and suddenly my fellow Christian brothers and sisters head for the hills screaming the world has come to an end. Are not abortion rates much higher in several other countries? Why aren't we just as concerned about "life" in those countries? America elects an economically progressive candidate and people are screaming "socialism" preparing for a Rapture. (An mid-1800's invention of conservative Christian theology). Doesn't America know that Democracy is one of the youngest political philosophies to be employed? Why do we think the fate of the world depends on the success of our economical and political philosophies? America is struggling economically, and Jesus is now coming back to rescue his 2000 year old church from this difficult tribulation. Doesn't America remember that its only 232 years old? Why does God's blessing equate with monetary blessing? Why do American Christians constantly tie the end of the ...
