Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston has died at the age of 48, a victim of herself. Each year we receive the news of deaths due to drug and alcohol use with shock and surprise. Michael Jackson, John Belushi, Lady Diana (the driver was drunk), and others were a real loss to our culture. Now we have Whitney Houston joining their ranks.

Whitney did a series of concerts in South Africa in 1994 to honor Nelson Mandela. Here is an excerpt from those concerts.


Nelson Mandela and Pope John Paul II	knew one another.

Mandela and John Paul II knew what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. knew, besides fight or flight, there is a third, better option.

Julia Bacha, Blessed are the meek for they shall possess the land

h Arab Spring was a phenomenon this year when oppressive Middle Eastern regimes were peacefully overturned, one after the other. Now, millions of Arabs are peacefully discussing and deliberating their futures and setting the stage for a peaceful world for their children and grand children.

An idea vs an army

Wait a minute! Aren't Arabs supposed to be uneducated, war-mongering, terrorists? How could such an Arab Spring be possible? Isn't that kind of peace against the nature of such barbarians?

We've been lied to! Many of those lies are lies of omission! Arabs are not what they've been made out to be. Can one assume that Americans are murderers, psychopaths, and godless materialists? Certainly not, yet the majority of school shooters, legendary serial killers, and celebrities are! Just as we cannot be know through our wacko or hedonistic citizens, so to Arabs cannot. Yes, those who attacked us on 9/11 were Arab, but they were not a representative sample.

The vast majority of Arabs are meekly demonstrating and claiming their God-given freedom. Blessed are they, for they ARE inheriting their lands at long last! A lone voice, that of Julia Bacha is crying in the wilderness. She is hoping that someone will listen. Let's take fewer than 10 minutes to hear her speak.
