Random Thoughts

   I was just thinking about the quote from Edmund Burke: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
Since I don't believe in a black and white, cut and dry, good and evil. (George Bush Jr. thought he was doing good and, his actions where good. I think at this point most of us agree his actions where not all that "good". )
Plus "good" is a point of view really, killing people is bad - ergo; evil but, sending the soldiers off to kill people can be looked upon as "good".
So, I decided to word Burke's saying in a way that made sense to me.
"Negative actions prevail when rational people fail to act..." - Mark Holmes

Yes, these are the things I think about sometimes....
