Correction.........BUSH did exactly what he wanted to do to satisfy his ego and his corporate buddies ............ He represented the ignorance and morality of many accorss the nation ( mainly bible-thumpers ) etc ...
Next month we have Ospreys fishing in a specific cove - they fold their wings and dive into the water for catfish . My favorite is watching them attempt to take off with fish bigger than themselves !
That's great that they're protected ! Thanks for the story . Here in my area we have plenty of Bald Eagles around the farm land in Nevada. They show up in munbers each February to eat the calves afterbirth. The farmers think they're a pain in the rear.... The other group of them are high up at mountain lakes. They're the real tough ones that migrate home when the lakes thaw out. They're not used to people - and very hard to observe. It's no wonder why we've chosen this raptor for our national symbol ...
Today as I sat high up in the snow covered mountians above a frozen lake - into plain view flew a pair of Bald Eagles. One circled majestically over the tree tops with huge wings catching the rising air. The other - grasping a branch with it's claws glided gracefully through the trees to land at a nest in repair. I couldn't help but notice the deternimation and confidence on the face of the one who flew close by. These creatures have a very rough life but somehow they survive. After the branch was set they joined and circled higher and higher until out of sight - as if to celebrate their ultimate freedom together soaring above every living thing on earth. I sat there in amazement - wondering if they'de return again from the sky above.
Seeing this today helped me realize how nature can be a lesson of simplicity. We let ourselves be caught-up in the microcosm of a complex life and society which dictates our satisfaction. One can learn a lot by simply sitting and watching...........
"The eagle represents freedom. Living as he does on the tops of lofty mountains, amid the solitary grandeur of Nature, he has unlimited freedom, whether with strong pinions he sweeps into the valleys below, or upward into the boundless spaces beyond."
What's really pathetic are those who can watch her speak , listen to her tripping over her own words , and still believe in her. Modern science now has ways to breed-out genetic ignorance !!
I'll vote Democratic now more than ever after seeing how poorly republicans and conservatives have behaved recently, and what truly poor solutions to the nations problems they provide
OMG....spare me please ! Who cares about what the bible sais , and how many times have you had criminals break in your home where you'de need a gun ? Jesus ! Get a life - would you ?
You and many others on this site watching FOX too much and simply quoting everthing off their shows - instead of using what's left of your own mind ......
