"A man is God's marvelous creation, crowned with glory and honor, and because of this you can't quite hem him in. You can put him in... prison, but somehow his mind [imagination] will break out through the bars to scratch across the pages of history."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Silence in the face of evil is evil itself!"
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetuate it. He who accepts evil without protecting against it is really cooperating with it!"

USA Government Shut Down: To Be or Not to Be
Follow up-to this blog

On October 1, 2013, at midnight Monday, the House Republicans allowed for the so-called partial government shutdown. In now new, as projected in my above blog.

We live in a new global world order, where old things have passed away. Our new minds are necessitated to correctly interpret this new order. Words, meanings, actions, impact, and outcome.

The old rational order has faded. So we must rethink the impossible as the Commercial Express. We must seriously consider what once would be dismissed as insane.

The Tea Party, the likes of Sen. Ted Cruz (R. Tex), genuinely has method in their madness. On Sunday Meet the Press, NBC.com, Sept. 29, 2013, he boasted that he ran for office to do what he is now doing in leading the Republican charge: to shut down the government.

So why be surprised? Touché!

Just Saying!
