[Vision2020] It must be said

[the storm]

My Dear Benny boy,

I have to ask you a question... Just man to man to large mailing list. Do 
you really got the rocks to try and in some way... Hope to convince these 
wise and knowledgeable Visionaries, that the slaves in the pre-civil war era 
were not abused?

You can't brush over the facts, you can't lessen the truth that these people 
were abused horribly. And your tone smacks of those creatures who call 
themselves neo-nazi's and claim the the holocaust either didn't happen at 
all, or was way over exaggerated, because after all their were a few jews 
who weren't mal-treated that means that the other 6 million must have been 
treated well too.

Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it... Whether that 
history be the civil war or world war II.

And for those of you who wish to lecture us on the bible I request that you 
first read the bible [The whole Bible and not just the tid bits that you can 
use to poison the masses] as once you have you will quickly discover the 
error of you ways.


James 3


Taming the Tongue

1Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you 
know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
2We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, 
he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.
3When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can 
turn the whole animal. 4Or take ships as an example. Although they are so 
large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small 
rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.
5Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. 
Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.
6The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It 
corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is 
itself set on fire by hell.
7All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being 
tamed and have been tamed by man,
8but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly 
poison.
9With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, 
who have been made in God's likeness.
10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should 
not be.
11Can both fresh water and salt[1] water flow from the same spring?
12My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither 
can a salt spring produce fresh water.

Two Kinds of Wisdom

13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, 
by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
14But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not 
boast about it or deny the truth.
15Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, 
of the devil.
16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and 
every evil practice.
17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then 
peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, 
impartial and sincere.
18Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

Also, while I have your time I thought this forum was intended to imagine 
what the moscow-pullman area would be like in the year 2020? Not what can I 
say to drive people crazy in the year 2003? We all can live in harmony, no 
matter what your race color or creed and if you disagree with me that's 
perfectly fine. Because, you will be showing your true colors that your 
intent is to openly cause disorder, miss trust, and open hatred. Truth shall 
set you free are those of you willing to act in the above manner willing to 
tell the truth about your goals? I'm guessing not... But I will openly tell 
the truth we all need to get along, or we are no community at all.
