I hope and pray people THINK.
"In the post-meditative experience become a child of illusion" is a slogan from the Tibetan mind training tradition. We engage the world as we experience it all the while realizing that reality is not as it seems to be.

Good grief.
How is it that this has become even a question of late? The fact that the president even needs to state it this way makes me almost despair. (Shaking my damn head here.)

Oh, that party of family values again...
And, for the umpty-eleventh time, it's not the sex, it's the hypocrisy. It's not the sex, it's the "conservative" judgment of other people that is so reprehensible (while expecting a pass for their own behavior).
Dinesh D’Souza Resigns Presidency of The King’s College
"D’Souza came under fire Tuesday when World magazine revealed that he was engaged to a 29-year-old woman while still married to his wife of 20 years. D’Souza and Denise Odie Joseph allegedly shared a hotel room at a Christian conference in September, and D’Souza introduced her as his fiancee."
D'Souza, by the way, is a well-known conservative who has lately been making a practice of bashing President Obama. He used to debate Christopher Hitchens about the existence of God.
You know, if you're going to be judgmental about others, you've got to be impeccable in your own behavior. (And who, really, can manage that?)

Indeed
I could wish this would go viral. But, then, the American populace as a whole is not educated enough to recognize the reference. (Sigh.)

One way of looking at last night's debate
I found this on Facebook:
Sherry Davis (from ‘Stop Willard Mitt Romney in 2012’ FB group) - Auntie Charm says, and I agree: "I think that tomorrow and days after everyone will acknowledge Mitt’s many, many, many layers of lies. The 'talking heads' will see things differently soon. If President Obama responded the same way Romney did he would look 'un-Presidential' and would be labeled “the angry Black man” and there would be more talk/issues about that. I believed that our POTUS defended his policies and explained them. Romney was very erratic - almost like someone on drugs. He was so rude, hyped and even his eyes looked weird and he was undisciplined with a weird smirk - that's not impressive to me. Romney came across as kind of a bossy asshole who doesn't give a shit about explaining himself or listening to anyone. I do not think that Romney won."
