Homestead mailing list

[EarthNSky <erthnsky AT bellsouth.net>]

Americans have short memories.
I've heard the MSM say that this is the nastiest campaign in history. 
Name calling...gasp!
Sociopath vs. Radical Muslim...gasp!
Socialist vs. Bushie
Sadly, Even here, on Homestead, we go there...

So, each of us needs to be a seed for teaching/sowing unity(and sorry, 
but saying that Obama is the unity candidate isn't unifying the way you 
think) as well as taking the long view of history.  Often, in our 
society, technology moves us along so fast that we forget to look back 
and realize what *hasn't* changed.

Each of us, being of sound mind and higher intelligence than 'the 
Average Joe', those of us who already walk our own path, need to take a 
leadership role in our communities-real life communities, and try to 
calm people down..
We just need to take the long view-all of us.
