Today, in a Group on the Facebook I found a picture of Former Senator (MA) Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy (February 22, 1932 – August 25, 2009). I feel deep respect for this man and this picture made me curious.
CLICK! And there I am. I see the picture. Above the picture I read the title:
"CONGRADULATIONS TED !!! ON 180 DAYS CLEAN AND SOBER"
(This person don't know to spell either)
Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy was an amazing man; loaded with positive energy and strong will. Loaded with so much love for his country and people. This man was first elected to the U.S. Senate in November 1962, he was re-elected nine times and served for 47 years until his death.
Until his last breath Mr Ted Kennedy fought with so much passion for Health Insurance Reform in this country. The list of his achievements is long...
And then I find something like this... such an disgusting title.
Who are those people? What is going on here?
Is the tendency for respect falling down, like a Stock Market on the Wall Street in year 2008?
Is this the education we so much appreciate? Is this culture and meaning of the word "being well raised"? Where is the origin of this lack of respect, even more to people who died?
Just to say: "It is sad to read this" - it sounds cheap. Honestly, in this very moment I feel deep SHAME to be a human being. I feel deep SHAME and SADNESS, but feel I MUST APOLOGIZE myself to whole Kennedy family. I MUST APOLOGIZE because I am member of the human race.
I APOLOGIZE, I APOLOGIZE, I APOLOGIZE, I APOLOGIZE, I APOLOGIZE, ...

Monday, February 22, 2010
Before few days ago I wrote a note. It was "The Presidents Day" so I allowed my self to think about the worth's and what is going on in this world today. What is it we so much appreciate and what is for us, humans, important. Well, here it is, simple question:
IGNORANCE OR BLANK STUPIDITY?
Reading the Newspapers and listening to daily News I admit the human qualities, we so much appreciate, and honor are about to disappear, at least almost to disappear. In the last time, big and meaningful words, has been very often used and abused: respect and achievement.
Let me start with the last word:
ACHIEVEMENT - by definition - origin from verb to achieve - To attain or get through effort or work.
Question: What did we achieved since 1900.?
Right. We made a huge technological progress: We've been on the moon, we fly, we drive cars, we communicate within seconds. Even you, dear reader, enjoy this fast communication. I could write a long list what did we achieved in the last century. We fought for "Woman rights" and more or less we won it. As I said - more or less - the woman sill not have the same rights at least in some countries. No-one will confess this, then it is still taboo topic. Such kind of "business", even today, is made behind "the closed door". The actual topic in today's politics is "Don't ask, Don't tell" policy. The homosexual should be "the problem". Honestly, the only one problem I see in that is the problem in the heads of the people who think like this and make the difference between "the straights and the other one" . There are also the others who think the homosexuality can be "cured". Like it were an disease. Knock-Knock! Hello?! Somebody at home?! THE SEXUAL ORIENTATION IS NOT STATEMENT AND DO NOT REPRESENT ANY PERSONAL FEELINGS OF AN INDIVIDUAL TO HIS/HERS COUNTRY! And we live in 21st century? This are the things we must work on. Not on great technological achievements. The best technology in the hands of ignorant people has always been and will be the most dangerous weapon for human existence. What use the whole universe to someone who cannot handle it?
RESPECT - by definition - Deferential or high regard; esteem.
Question: What we really respect and whom?
95% of humans have an huge respect from death. Why? Because we are scared of. We don't know what is behind "that door". The Religion say "Paradise" or "Hell", but still many people are scared from dying process. Let religion be Religion, because it has nothing to do with respect. It has, in some ways, but the religious institutions are the biggest hypocrite I ever saw in my life. I call them institutions, then in the reality they are the biggest global businesses who don't pay any taxis to no-one. I mean, they sell something invisible, hope and fear from God for a lot of money. As Believer, you pray and do your best, but please don't tell me I should go to the Church, Temple or Mosque certain number of times in day/week/month/year. God is not in the house - He is everywhere.
OK. Back to the topic.
We have also respect to our representatives; Governors, Senators, Presidents. We have respect to each other, the basic respect like human to human. This people are working hard to make our lives easier, better,.. etc. That is their job.
What I ask my self is: How can I have respect to someone like Joe "You Lie" Wilson? What did we lost on our way in better tomorrow? Mr. Wilson expect, probably, the same respect, but how can I respect someone who has no respect from other? And this disrespect comes from greed and no-self respect. The list such a people is long. Starting with Rush L., over Glen B., Sara P., ... oh God, I could go on and on. And even the Senators who yell and scream about stimulus money and take the same, posing for photographs like great Senators with wide smile in the face... If I may be sarcastic, if they wouldn't have ears, the smile would be 360 degrees.
I can live with their stupidity, but not with such ignorance that they even not recognize how stupid some statements and arguments sound.
Until then I will still think about all this and ask myself: "IS THIS STUPIDITY OR JUST BLANK IGNORANCE"? Are we going back into the middle-age?
Just today I read comment of a woman who shows pics of mud covered pigs with title: "That's what feminist bi**** and Rachel Maddog female fans look like".
This statement is so... level -500. What to say on this? Does it hurt me: NO, I know I am not pig or bi***, if this lady feels like... I don't think it is my problem.
