Could correct itself by following one simple saying.

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference."

Is one God better than another?

Better decide what is worth dedicating yourself to. You first need to identify the problem. Then you can decide if it can be changed. Some things are a just a fact of life. No system can change them.

It is hard to know who we can trust right now. We are at a very critical point in our existence.

You anti Fox loons are hilarious. You probably think Bill O'reilly wrote that.

Sarah Palin, Faux News , Bush lied, Karl Rove and the fuckin Kock brothers.

Thanks, and goodnight.

That's your whole bit.

This sounds like the A.A. mantra.

It's the Serenity Prayer. It's been around for a long long time. When I become overwhelmed, I often turn to it.

I think they "borrowed" it. It's very similar. Have you ever seen the Seinfeld episode "Serenity Now"? Very funny.

You are probably right. I have never been to AA. But, now that you mention it, I think I saw that in a movie once.

I still think it is a very valid saying.

Neither have I, but have known people that are frequent fliers there.yes it has a very Zen-like Asian feeling.

I can see that.

I bet you have to chant that slogan occasionally when you visit blogs such as this and the conversation "devolves" and the stuff hits the fan. I've noticed that some can get pretty riled up and really sling some shitty langauge around.
