Each year they parade her about, the traditional Halloween Witch. mis-shapen green face, stringy scraps of hair, a toothless mouth beneath her deformed nose. Gnarled knobby fingers twisted into a claw protracting from a bent and twisted torso that lurches about on wobbly legs. Most think this abject image to be the creation of a prejudiced mind or merely a Halloween caricature. I disagree, I believe this to be how Witches were really seen.
Consider that most Witches were women, were abducted in the night, and smuggled into dungeons or prisons under the secrecy of darkness to be presented by light of day as a confessed Witch. Few if any saw a frightened normal looking woman being dragged into a secret room filled with instruments of torture, to be questioned until she confessed to anything suggested to her and to give names or what ever would stop the questions.Crowds saw the aberration denounced to the world as a self-proclaimed Witch. As the Witch was paraded through town en route to be burned, hanged, drowned, stoned or disposed of in various other forms of Christian love all created to free and save her soul from her depraved body, the jeering crowds viewed the results of hours of torture.The face bruised and broken by countless blows bore a hue of sickly green. The once warm and loving smile gone replaced by a grimace of broken teeth and torn gums that leers beneath a battered disfigured nose. The disheveled hair conceals bleeding gaps of torn scalp from whence cruel hands had torn away the lovely tresses. Broken twisted hands clutched the wagon for support, fractured fingers with nails torn away locked like groping claws to steady her broken body. All semblance of humanity gone this was truly a demon, a bride of Satan, a Witch.I revere this Halloween Crone and hold her sacred above all. I honor her courage and listen to her warnings of the dark side of man. Each year I shed tears of respect when the mundane exhibit their symbol of Christian love.<em>author unknown</em>Thursday, October 28, 2010

all I can say is......
Filming babys smoking pot and duct taped to the wall. Children beaten to death.....
Maybe its time to promote birth control and stop hiding your head in the sand. Just because you can pro create doesn't mean you should. And I really don't think its god or the devil...its us people no one else, no big plan, just stupid irresponsibility
Children deserve better!!!!!!!!!!!

Rain Drops Keep FaLlinG on my Head
Geezzz.....Global warming is kicking it into high gear lately.
Woke up at O dark thirty this morning to thunder and lightening. It sounded like it was between our house and our neighbor. I'm watching the news and it's not gone yet, just moving east.
Pookah is staying close to Dude and M, (she HATES storms) especially if thunder is involved.
I'm hoping my freshly planted herb pots are doing alright. It's only 6am so it's still dark outside.

Email more Valuable than a human life
It's a SAD state of affairs when the guy who hacked into Sarah Palin's email account could face 50 yeras in prison, but the cop who was found guilty of negligent homicide when he obliterated two sisters lives get 10 years probation and NO jail time. WTF !
