As a woman and a lot of women know the benefits of a mud facial mask, and that mud is benifical for clay pottery and other creative art tasks as well as historical building in Egypt and the world. However throwing mud on a person not deserving of such behavior is wrong. Christ used the dirt from the ground after spitting on it to heal a blind man. This positive mud demonstration gave vision. But the nasty mud slinging by some fanantic right wingers does not give vision or heal. All across America at numerous colleges in the late 60’s and early 70’s protests and civil unrest were the mark of the day because of the giref students felt including myself because of the painful experience much like today of a friend, class-mate or family member coming home from Viet Namn in body bags. Once again God has honored me to participate and witness a historical milestone. Some years ago history locally was made when Coleman A. Young was elected the first minority Mayor of a major metropolitan urban city. From day one the right wingers started throwing the mud. Remember sitting as an invited guest lunchein attendee at the Detroit Economic Club listening to the address by Mayor Young and Auto giant mover and shaker Henry Ford II speak of their alliance and plans to work together to keep the city buzzing and prospering during tough times. Also recall the “awakening” for the city when I served as juror for the trial of Mayor Young’s brother-in-law, accused of City Of Detroit pension monies. The case was profound in that it highlights the challenge minority politicans face in character assault as well as their families. When asked to decide a verdict on the merits of the evidence of the case presented to us, I reminded everyone we were there to serve in truth and that I wanted to go home as most people do when deliberating a verdict. At first some were upset with me as I told them I was sorry my vote was going to be not guilty. Even though our group was composed of professionals, educators, clergy etc. there were a few people not working due to hard times. My reasons to everyone was that the judge instructed us to give a verdict guilty or not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on the evidence presented to us. There was no evidence. Mayor Young’s brother-in-law was a victim of guilty by association via a politican brother-in-law whom the right wing wanted to roast and take down. My remarks to everyone also asked them to consider the fact that we were intelligent people and everything presented to us was hear say with nothing material to back it up. Asked everyone had they every been to any important board or club meeting where there was someone to at least record the minutes of the meeting? The accusors had no such docuements or anything else. We the jurors finally decided to agree to a verdict of not guilty. The five knocks on the juror door then guided us to the court room and the judge thanked us for our service. Then the judge said two jurors could now leave as they were alternative jurors. I was one of the two, she thanked us both, and we left the court room. So in conclusion the mud name calling is simply the work of small minds. What is a TERRIOST? Someone whose actions speak louder then words. There was a Church in Alabama that was bombed and four little girls died upon just simply attending Sunday School, this is the actions of a terrist. Families historically were awakened in fear at night as hooded men circled their home with a burning cross on their lawn, this is also what you call TERRIOST actions. Those of you who think the American people have an IQ of two and fearful that Obama just might be a capable Commander In Chief Of The United States you are the real Terrist. Light, Life, Love.
