I haven't written a poem in a long time, I wrote one yesterday, I am trying to get my creative juices going, I am a novelist, not a poet, I am just totally stuck in a writing rut....so I thought this would help...what do you think? Feel free to say it sucks...lol.

Change

You hurt me,
So I hurt you,
You say things,
So I say it back,
But you loved me,
So I loved you back.

Searching for others,
Knowing they won't be you,
But it's one like you I am looking for,
Knowing there's only one you,
But we can never be the same.

I wish we would never have been,
But I am glad that we were,
Being with you brings me pain,
But also love,
Things can't be the same,
They always have to change.

just think or believe that in order for progress to continue we must continue to discuss the inequality in our country. For it to be a melting pot, not much is melting nowadays. Why? Have the people of the US become content in what they see? Are we afraid to discuss the inequalities of this country with out feeling that we will be looked upon as racist. What happen to the idea of conversation and intellectual thinking. Where have the real questions gone?

All unaffordable combinations of goods are preferred to affordable combinations of goods. Is this statement true or false? Explain.

I'm guessing this would deal with the indifference curve--a curve that shows the combinations of 2 goods equally preferred by the consumer. Wouldn't it be false then...wouldn't they be EQUALLY preferred, not unaffordable goods preferred to affordable goods...?

This has been bothering me a lot. Discrimination is wrong, period. yet I see so many people who claim they're against discrimination, but they themselves discriminate & are proud of it. Some people cheer them on. & society in general perpetuates it. Why?

Example1: Feminism. I've seen and met so many feminists who say they're against discrimination. They're against sexism, gender discrimination, even discrimination of sexuality. However, many times I see these same feminists discriminate against men & cheered for it.

Example2: Racism. Many blacks are against it because of how white people treated them, & at times still treat them. Yet many of the same blacks are then not only racists against white people, but against other blacks of lighter or darker skin colors as well.

Why would one who hates discrimination, discriminate? Is it right or wrong? If it's wrong, why does society perpetuate it?

BTW, I'm a black guy who is for equality & against any form of discrimination.

I have a 6.2lb, 9 month old Silky Terrier puppy named Rocsi. She's very well trained - sits, stays, rolls over, and comes when called (usually). She's a happy, smart dog - but craves attention ALL THE TIME.

She cries when she thinks you're going to leave or just not looking @ her, & when crated, she chews on the bars, shakes them with her teeth, shakes & pants endlessly. She won't even sit or lie down and usually urinates w/in the first ten minutes of being alone (although she's housetrained).

We've tried everything to break her of this insecurity. We've done several weeks of training (reduced attention prior to departures & arrivals, reduced attention during daily activities - except when she follows a command; regular walks to prevent pent up energy, getting keys, shoes, & coat but sitting down so to desensitize her to our pattern of behavior for leaving, & even vet prescribed meds to calm while we train her) & nothing seems to correct her behavior.

What do I do?

My wife had an affair 7 years ago and our lives have never been the same. I made the choice to stay with her and give her another chance but it still haunts me to this day. It pops into my head...sometimes I get depressed and sometimes I get angry. I just don't know what to do because I want to move on and not be dragged down by this but it just keeps happening. I still love her but I don't have the trust that I had and I have no idea how to get that back. I'm sure I haven't forgiven her and I know I need to do that but I don't know how - it caused so much hurt that I just don't see how to get past it. Sometimes I just want to leave her even after all these years.

Rescinding the Bush Doctrine
By Andrew J. Bacevich | March 1, 2007

RATHER THAN vainly sniping at President Bush over his management of the Iraq war, the Democratic-controlled Congress ought to focus on averting any recurrence of this misadventure. Decrying the so-called "surge" or curbing the president's authority to conduct ongoing operations will contribute little to that end. Legislative action to foreswear preventive war might contribute quite a lot.

Sign up for: Globe Headlines e-mail | Breaking News Alerts Long viewed as immoral, illicit, and imprudent, preventive war -- attacking to keep an adversary from someday posing a danger -- became the centerpiece of US national security strategy in the aftermath of 9/11. President Bush unveiled this new strategy in a speech at West Point in June 2002. "If we wait for threats to fully materialize," he said, "we will have waited too long." The new imperative was to strike before threats could form. Bush declared it the policy of the United States to "impose preemptive, unilateral military force when and where it chooses."

Although the Constitution endows the legislative branch with the sole authority to declare war, the president did not consult Congress before announcing his new policy. He promulgated the Bush Doctrine by fiat. Then he acted on it.

In 2003, Saddam Hussein posed no immediate threat to the United States; arguing that he might one day do so, the administration depicted the invasion of Iraq as an act of anticipatory self-defense. To their everlasting shame, a majority of members in both the House and the Senate went along, passing a resolution that "authorized" the president to do what he was clearly intent on doing anyway. Implicitly, the Bush Doctrine received congressional endorsement.

Events since have affirmed the wisdom of seeing preventive war as immoral, illicit, and imprudent. The Bush administration expected a quick, economical, and decisive victory in Iraq. Advertising the war as an effort to topple a brutal dictator and liberate an oppressed people, it no doubt counted on battlefield success to endow the enterprise with a certain ex post facto legitimacy. Elated Iraqis showering American soldiers with flowers and candies would silence critics who condemned the war as morally unjustified and patently illegal.

None of these expectations has come to pass. In its trial run, the Bush Doctrine has been found wanting.

Today, Iraq teeters on the brink of disintegration. The war's costs, already staggering, continue to mount. Violence triggered by the US invasion has killed thousands of Iraqi civilians. We cannot fully absolve ourselves of responsibility for those deaths.

Our folly has alienated friends and emboldened enemies. Rather than nipping in the bud an ostensibly emerging threat, the Iraq war has diverted attention from existing dangers (such as Al Qaeda) while encouraging potential adversaries (like Iran) to see us as weak.

The remedy to this catastrophic failure lies not in having another go -- a preventive attack against Iran, for example -- but in acknowledging that the Bush Doctrine is inherently pernicious. Our reckless flirtation with preventive war qualifies as not only wrong, but also stupid. Indeed, the Bush Doctrine poses a greater danger to the United States than do the perils it supposedly guards against.

We urgently need to abrogate that doctrine in favor of principles that reflect our true interests and our professed moral values. Here lies an opportunity for Congress to make a difference.

The fifth anniversary of President Bush's West Point speech approaches. Prior to that date, Democratic leaders should offer a binding resolution that makes the following three points: First, the United States categorically renounces preventive war. Second, the United States will henceforth consider armed force to be an instrument of last resort. Third, except in response to a direct attack on the United States, any future use of force will require prior Congressional authorization, as required by the Constitution.

The legislation should state plainly our determination to defend ourselves and our allies. But it should indicate no less plainly that the United States no longer claims the prerogative of using "preemptive, unilateral military force when and where it chooses."

Declaring the Bush Doctrine defunct will not solve the problems posed by Iraq, but it will reduce the likelihood that we will see more Iraqs in our future. By taking such action, Congress will restore its relevance, its badly tarnished honor, and its standing in the eyes of the American people.
