Let's Be Clear

In my lifetime, I have observed and witnessed some evil things. Many were news reports, but some were eye-witness melees. One notable travesty was the implementation of 'A Clearing'. It was called ethnic cleansing, but there was absolutely nothing cleansing about slaughterous murder. Like so much garbage, being cleared from our living quarters; one people claiming to be purer than another. How despicable of us mortals created in the image of an awesome and loving God who through His son said, "There is none good; no, not one". Clear the air we breathe of poisonous toxins if you will. Clear the rivers and waterways of debris and waste. But be very clear about this: There are multitudes of undesirable things and myriads of non-mortal despicables in need of mass clearings. But the clearing out of people by any means deemed less than another is not one of them. Ethnic cleansing is mass suicide. Let us love, cherish, and care for one another and leave human clearings and cleansings to God. 021023PSCtest, 'The Clearing'. Craig Cornish
