This is just to say

I'm not doing very well.

I'm crying at work.

Thoughts of miscarriage keep crossing my mind. Not as in, wanting to have one, but as in, how could the baby possibly live through this?

I know that's crazy.

But when the majority of my fellow Americans have given their stamp of approval to the architects of Abu Ghraib, where can I find hope? How can I be a parent in this world?

Again, I will not agree that this administration is evil. Wrong, yes, and since they're all human, sinners and lowly ones, but I don't think that they're truly evil. Their worldview is so radically different from mine that I don't understand it, but I would hesitate to call it evil. Is the Evil One rejoicing over the dissent and discord the current administration is sowing? Oh you bet!

Ah! I'm so not quailified to answer these questions, and I won't have time to bring them up to my spiritual father or my Godmama before I have to leave for drill. Please, don't take *anything* that I'm saying as the Orthodox interpretation, please?

I have been assuming that you are speaking only for yourself. Maybe now is a good time to ask you what your definition of evil is. Or maybe I should first ask rivka if she minds our continuing this discussion here.

Part of what shapes my veiw of evil is my religion.

Let me know if we need to move this. I may muse on this in my journal.

Since this has become exclusively a dialogue, why don't y'all take it elsewhere.

Sure.
