love vs. hate, one more time...


Because I believe in our constitution and I trust the Supreme Court (most of the time), I agree with their recent ruling.

But I think the haters are all wrong.  At the Bank of Good Karma, where every transaction works itself out, those very same haters are bankrupt.

For in truth, in this world, hatred is not appeased by hatred. Hatred is appeased by love alone. This is the eternal law.     -Dhammapada

  2. Very well stated, Karen. I felt very conflicted by this decision...i support the idea of freedom of speech, but i absolutely despair that these wretched haters can use the occasion of a funeral, especially the funeral of a soldier, as a platform for spewing their disgusting message. Glad to know that an account is being kept in the Bank of Good Karma, because boy, those haters sure are bankrupt.

  3. Well put, Karen.
    This is a horrific thing to have to swallow, this use of the solemn occasion of a soldier's funeral to put forth a platform of ignorance and hatred. This is one of those times when our belief in the first amendment is tough to uphold, and yet we must.
