Trip to the Philipines

Well, we leave on wednesday morning on a trip around the world. I am quite excited and blessed to have such an opportunity. How many people get to do this? Imagine what our kids will be able to experience.

The first leg of the flight is an 18 hour trip to Hong Kong. Then a 2 hour flight to Cebu city and a 2 hour bus ride to Delagute. Man, I love international travel. What I really love is seeing the people of a different country. We all go through the same tests, trials, joys, and experiences in life. They are just on a different level or experienced from a different perspective. It really makes me feel connected to every person. I challenge the 1 or 2 people reading this to see the stranger as their brother or sister today. Doing this isn't easy but it is the right and just thing to do. We may not feel like it, but hey if I did everything I feel like doing I would be in prison or dead! We should treat everyone like we wish to be treated and that is how you make the world beautiful.

We have a new president. I pray that he will really look into the issues that made America great. The current feel in the U.S media is that "we" as America have lost our way. I think that that is false. A vast majority of Americans know exactly what and who we are. How we became great and what it takes. When these journalists live and breath amonsgt each other it is like a feeding frenzy of lies and fear. The ironic part of this is that the media is the one who lost its way and are so detached from the rest of us that they think we're nuts!

On the issue of Abortion:

The Marist College Institute of Public Opinion conducted the survey between September 24 and October 3. Some 60 percent of Americans say abortions should never be allowed or only in the rarest of circumstances, such as rape and incest, that constitute less than two percent of all abortions nationwide lifeNews.com Oct.14, 2008

Yet we just elected a president by nearly the same percentage who feels that abortion should be a deeply personal decision. I don't know how to explain this other than the public is not truly informed on who is running. The fact he is of course neglecting is the second paragraph of the Declaration of Indepence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Okay, I am not saying abolish the government, however I am saying alter it. Considering that the government is being destructive to the unalienable right to Life. Regardless of what "pay grade" you have or religion or lack of religion you have, the human being is a human being at conception.

Member of human Being as defined by the dictionary: a member of the species to which men and women belong. Latin Home Homo sapiens.
