If McCain had a decent college education perhaps he would understand the dangers of replaying history. Indonesia, Brazil, Russia and China had all thought they could easily overcome the hazards of plate tectonics due to off shore drilling. When plates under the ocean floor collide earthquakes, tzunami's and over-all destruction occurs. Off the shore of Oregon the Juan de Fuca plates collide every so often. Oregon is planning for the next tzunami. Off Shore drilling may lead to collisions whereby activating these plates and causing massive storms, hurricanes, tzunami's, destroying fish, sea mammals, and wildlife and interfere with sea bird's migration. We would have oil spills that would pollute perhaps the only untouched area on this planet. McCain probably does not understand that in order to start millions would have to be spent to make this a safe venture. Under the ocean floor pipes would have to be built and drilled which could lead to tectonic collisions. In the event of a hurricane lives would be lost because of a massive fire and oil spill but McCain and his Republican Bush Buddy's really don't care who it effects so long as their wallet is full. What McCain's quick fix proposes is an obstruction to the natural order of life. It will shift the mind set of the population into thinking that everything is honkey dory and McCain will be our 'Savior.' American's take a second and third look at everything this Bush thinking 'liberal' is proposing before voting for him.

I am a poet and will share one of my poems that depict my love of the Virgin Mother.

Oh Lady Of The Universe

She sheds light to my darkened worldly soul.

She sees the evil surmounting

her calm does not succumb to its wrath.

Lady of Sorrows

how many times I have called

to the Father and your Son

only to receive a busy signal.

You Sweet Virgin

welcomed me in your arms

answered my calls.

I would be angry at the Father

but I could never denounce you,

the one mother of all.

I am a battered woman broken

by tribulations and havoc.

My physical self in utmost pain

my legs and mind scared for life.

I received your voice saying

buy a container of holy water.

I questioned the voice but obliged.

Within moments I fell on tattered pavement

my hands dripping with blood.

My knees bruised and sore.

All at once your apparition appeared.

I looked up in agony and your response

wash the damage with the water from the well.

You kissed my sores like any

mother does when her child falls.

Once more Sweet Lady you answered my calls.

A miracle can occur no matter

what the past sins.

My defects are many

Her love is unending

This Mother loves all

asking only for daily prayer

and love For Her Son, the Father

and each other.
