coming up from the slime

FOG

THE fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

Carl Sandburg


Giving some more thought to the differences between progressives and conservatives,is the difference in thinking on the creation of the universe. Progressives, for the most part, believe in the evolution theory of creation, conservatives, for the most part believe in the new euphemism, intelligent design.

One of the biggest ironies of all this, on both sides, is that the each side in this arguement, is actually working to undermine their own theory. Conservatives, believing in intelligent design, are actually working on the principle of the strongest of the fittest, that an economic cycle will protect those best able to protect themselves. They don't believe in social assistance, and tend to believe in capital punishment. Progressives on the other hand, advocates of evolutionary thinking tend to want to undermine that evolution, helping animals that are nearly extinct, and believing in a compassionate bycle of economics.

Thinking about this before the sun comes up makes me need a nap already.
