The hope which is laid up for you in heaven. Colossians: 1:5

Our hope in Christ for the future is the mainspring and the mainstay
of our joy here.  It will animate our hearts to think often of Heaven,
for all that we can desire is promised there. Here we are weary and
toil worn, but yonder is the land of rest where the sweat of labour
shall no more bedew the workers brow, and fatigue shall be forever
banished. To those who are weary and spent, the word �rest' is full of
heaven. We are always in the field of battle; we are so tempted
within, and so molested by foes without, that we have little or no
peace; but in heaven we shall enjoy the victory, when the banner shall
be waved aloft in triumph, and the sword (spiritual) shall be
sheathed, and we shall hear our Captain say, �Well done, good and
faithful servant.'

Charles Spurgeon

The message of Christianity is one of hope, not of hate. For those of
us who are in Christ Jesus; heaven awaits.  If you do not believe in
Jesus, why not, come to Him today: repent and believe, and be saved.

Our lives are so short, and the riches of this world fade away. If you
don't feel like you know what your end is or will, maybe you need
Jesus too.

Matthew 10:28 
    And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill
the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and
body in hell. 

Mark 12:9 
    What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and
destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. 

1 John 3:8 
    He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from
the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he
might destroy the works of the devil. 

Rev. 2:23 
    And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches
shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I
will give unto every one of you according to your works.

after truck to
just wander right in knowing HUGE drug shipment after HUGE drug
shipment is crossing? Gosh, there's no drug problem with Mexican
police, military and even their president.

*   The New York Times, February 19 1997
*   
*   Brig. General Jesus Gutierrez Rebollo, Mexico's top Military Drug War
*   point man, was arrested on charges of receiving payoffs from Jaurez
*   cartel kingpin Amado Carrillo Fuentes, Defense Minister Enrique Cervantes
*   announced.
*   
*   U.S. Drug Czar Gen. Barry McCaffrey had weeks earlier called General
*   Gutierrez "a guy of absolute unquestioned integrity."


And what if some terrorists wanted to sneak in an atom bomb?

Put a NAFTA sticker on it and drive right on in, y'all. Welcome to the USA.

If you want to really be certain, hide the A-bomb in a truck full of cocaine.

If a terrorist nuclear bomb ever goes off in this country,
it drove in from Mexico.

Meanwhile, Los Alamos National Laboratories developed technology that
allows an officer walking or driving down the street, as shown on MSNBC TV
6/9/97 www.TheSite.com, to determine whether anyone on the sidewalk is
carrying a gun.

The priorities are all out of whack.

Apply Military technology towards securing the border, not by spending
billions and billions and billions each year to secure each and every
one of us.

We don't put governing-monitors on all car engines to control speeding.
Get an Operations Research clue.


Is our government perpetuating the availability of drugs?

The 60 Minutes report sure makes it look like it is.

How could letting unchecked Mexican truck after unchecked Mexican truck
through not be?

!   NEW CORRIDORS HAVE OPENED TO CONTINUE THE FLOOD OF DRUGS INTO AMERICA.

No shit, Sherlock!

crime, increasing tension and conflict with police
            departments, some rioting, and politicians banging the Drum of
            War to take stronger police and monitoring actions. "Law & Order"

Stronger police action mainly against black people.

----

This monitoring discrimination of blacks is demonstratedly nationwide.

Therefore, it is also a smoking gun for arguing
for retention of affirmative action programs.

You don't really think it's just law enforcement, do you?

Factoid: poor black households' telephone usage is dramatically different

length, and number of calls per telephone.
