Kansas Used To Have Cooler Signs

Instead of the overused Christian message, "God hates fags", and Jews, and politicians, and entertainers, and many, many others, Kansas once had people who actually cared about the world living within it's borders. Here is a picture that was taken in 1967, during the Vietnam War, outside of the City Building in Wichita. Where did all those informative signs, and the creative sign painters, all go?

If only it could have been this simple to put a stop to all the violence, manipulation, and lies over the past two thousand years. The world would be a better place.

 

Terri Horman Still Thinks The World Revolves Around Her

While perusing a couple of different Oregon sources the other day for news about the missing persons case of ten year old Kyron Horman, who disappeared from his school in Portland on June 4, of 2010, when he was seven; I noticed a rather nasty and one-sided comment that was clearly made by someone who is quite angry with the general public, with anyone who wishes Kyron's family well, and with anyone who would help search for Kyron. While there are always trolls and "haters" on any newspaper forum, this comment, from Oregonlive, made me think for a couple of reasons. First, the commenter makes a reference to a vigil that was held well over a year ago, and made some statements about an incident that took place during that vigil, but was not publicized......one would have had to be physically present in order to cite the particular details mentioned here; second, this commenter appears to seriously expect those who love Kyron, even his mother, to forget about him after awhile and give up the search! Here's an excerpt:

                                                              ☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼

"I think people traveling from several different states to demonstrate their hate for {Terri} just a block away from her home, is a bit hateful. Do you see that as a loving thing to do? How about when they went up on to the porch of the Moultons home and looked into the windows? Hateful or loving? Maybe they were hoping to see Kyron inside?"
                                                               ☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼

Hmmm....hey commenter; how do you KNOW the states from which any of those people hailed? The media barely covered that particular vigil. It did not mention much about the people involved, and certainly did not cover their personal information. Nor did the media give any factoids about the Moultons' house, or whose doorbell was rung, or who responded. If you have this information, you were present at the time. Why didn't Terri Horman or any of the Moultons take some flyers and join? There was, after all, an invitation extended for the Moultons to do so!

Why would you even rant, Whoever-You-Are, (does your name begin with the letter "T"?) about whether the gesture was loving or hateful toward Terri? Are you thinking that the only reason anyone ever looked for Kyron after he disappeared was to make Terri Horman upset? Or to express "hate" for her? If so, you are crazily mistaken! Sure, lots of people hate mentally ill, selfish, lazy, cellulite-covered, overly dependent, non-working child abusers; and quite a few people do not favor Terri Horman, but that's not the reason for the search for Kyron! There's a search on for Kyron because he's a little boy who disappeared on his stepmother's watch, and because over two years have gone by without his being found. That's why people knocked on doors in Roseburg, Oregon, and passed out flyers with Kyron's picture. It was a gesture of love for Kyron, not a gesture of hate for Kyron's sometime stepmother. The world does not revolve around Terri Horman. That said, let me also point out that the gesture was a loving gesture because everyone passing out the flyers loved doing it. One thing would have made them love it more: finding Kyron that day.

The gentle commenter went on to complain about Desiree Young, Kyron's mother, who, with assistance from donors, posted a billboard in Southern Oregon with Kyron's picture. It seems that the effort of posting a billboard on the highway, where it can be seen by commuters, has also rubbed this person the wrong way. Such measures are common during missing persons cases, and if Terri Horman took this personally, she needs to see, once again, that things other than herself are important, and Kyron's mother put up the billboard to keep Kyron's case in the public perception.

                                                          ☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼

"Do you think the billboard Desiree put up on the freeway was a loving thing to do? Kyron, we're going to track you down? Did she think Kyron goes to work everyday in his car and drives past that sign? Or was it a loving way for her to tell Terri how much she loved her son? Or to just torment Terri out of frustration?
What about Desiree passing out flyers in Roseburg and asking everyone to remember that Terri lives in Roseberg and should be shunned by the community. Do you think that was another one of those loving things people do for Kyron?"

                                                            ☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼

Oh no! Did Desiree Young pass out flyers? My Goddess, what is the world coming to? You're damn straight she passed out flyers, Whoever-You-Are! And, yes; it was an act of love! None of it was done to "torment Terri". Desiree Young very likely does not have time to torment Terri. She's trying to find Kyron! Had Terri Horman thought about Kyron from the very beginning, passed out flyers, helped with searches, answered questions, told the truth, passed polygraphs, and been available to help when Desiree was in Roseburg with flyers, it is very likely that no one would have suggested shunning Terri Horman. The sad truth is, Desiree Young was discouraged by the fact that many of the people in Roseburg had not even heard about the Kyron Horman missing persons case, despite all of the publicity it received in Portland. Kyron's stepmother, her parents, and his stepbrother ALL lived in Roseburg at the time Desiree Young passed out flyers there. Why didn't Roseburg already know about Kyron?

No, Terri; none of the efforts to find Kyron have been all about you. The world does not revolve around, you, either.

Are You Ready For The End Of The World?

 I'm being facetious; I do not believe the world will end today or tommorrow. Rather, I think the Aztecs and Mayans ran out of time to create and correlate symbols for the ideas they had, after observing their own civilizations for years on end, for what they thought might be happening now. To the left is the symbol of a flower, which they used to describe today. Day Xochitle is governed by Xochiquetzal, or flower-feather. It is said to provide beauty and truth to the collective "shadow soul". The flower fades, to eventually become fruit and seed, leading to new life after the old is cast aside. Don't wait to let you loved ones know you love them.

Another Response To My Local Northeast Kansas Jesus Troll

I was asked to pass this along to you, Northeast Kansas Nasty Person who hates veterans and messages me from various places within this town. It is the reaction of a relative of mine who looked at Siri's World this morning and was stunned by your ignorance. You should also be aware that none of us are anonymous on the internet. Quite a few people so far have been shocked at the address of the IP number indicated by my tracker.

 

I have a response for your troll as well- it was SO long- that the page would not accept it so- here you go- and should you use it...please sign it "Juli's Cousin" like I did... here is the article- LOL!

------------------------
It needs to be pointed out that Christians in places like Europe (to those of you far right conservative Bible thumpers who can't possibly imagine Christians in Europe-yes- there are millions of Christians in Europe) Christians in Europe do not believe the way this menacing troll neighbor of yours and their insular, southern state cronies believe. I have some wonderful pen pals/ friends in Sweden. They really are nice people. Once native Swedish people warm up to you and get to know you; you'll never find better friends. There are Catholics and many protestants in Sweden- including the Lutheran Church. Your "polite" *cough! *Gag!... neighbor preaches about God and Flag when it borders blashpemy to mention the two in the same breath....... in Sweden- it is considered a desecration of the sanctuary and disrespectful to God to fly the flag of one's own country or any other country within the walls of the Church- especially the sanctuary. You NEVER see the Swedish flag or any other flag in the sanctuary of a Swedish church. I agree with this and believe it is the right approach. You come to the United States and you see American flags hanging all over many protestant sanctuaries- especially Southern Baptist churches. I have always found this to be disrespectful myself. Juli (and I have permission to call her that- thank you) It seems to me that your neighbor here and those like he or she practice no kind of spirituality or Christianity whatsoever. Instead they practice "Nationalism". They worship the American flag like an idol instead of leaving it in it's proper place as a symbol representing the nation they live in. A Nation where all beliefs and ideologies are supposed to be free and allowed to practice and do as they please. These people do not worship God; nor, are they spiritual.These people worship THEIR idea of America. They practice in Nationalism- they worship America. They disrespect their sanctuaries by flying American flags in them, singing patriotic songs riddled with propaganda within the church walls, and saying the pledge of allegiance to the flag in what is supposed to be God's house- not the Flag's house or America's house. What is the flag of any nation doing in a place that is supposed to be a holy/ sacred/ spiritual place? Many of these people are insular and ignorant to the World around them. The old spiritual song goes this way " He's got the WHOLE WORLD in his hands" It does not say " He's got the USA only in his hands" The Bible says for God so love the WORLD that he gave his only begotten son- it does not say " For God so loved America". So- if your neighbor is so Christian; then, why do they hate charity, hold the flag in higher regard than they do Christ,and apparently hate the rest of planet Earth? Is it a crime to love other countries as well as the USA? Certainly not. IS it un-American or un-Christian either one? Certainly not! Sometimes- because I love the REAL American ideals that helped found and define what this country was originally all about; I have considered moving to Sweden. Why? They're MORE American than AMERICA is now. And you might as well had better save your breath there Juli's nut job neighbor; because, unless you know Swedish people, know about their government, and know their culture the way that I do; you have no right to say anything. You have no way of arguing with me if you don't know anything about the subject matter in which I am speaking. Also- Nobody has the right to judge- period. Conservatives have a very bad habit of trash talking and arguing about something when they know absolutely NOTHING about it; nor, have they investigated to find out what the truth is. They just spout the propaganda and rhetoric that they heard on Fox News or Rush Limbaugh and are almost incapable of forming their own, objective opinions. Juli doesn't "hate" America, the flag,freedom, or Christians... believe it or not. But; I'm firm in the believe that YOU hate her. Very Christian of you isn't it? We should ALL have the right to believe the way we want and do and say what we want... to make our own choices. THAT is REAL Democracy and you apparently do not want a REAL Democracy. Instead you want a Nationalist Totalitarian Theocracy- Juli's neighbor. Look up all of those big words if you have no idea what their meaning is.

Juli's Cousin--- (See? I can call her Juli if I please)
