My university's graduation is going on literally at this hour. I'm sitting in my apartment room instead of attending. My roommates' families are there with them.

So why?

Posted by cnn.com three minutes ago, Hurricane Rita overflowed the 9th ward Levees. There is no word yet as to the extend of the damage.

Yesterday, at a conference urging residents to flee the recently-hit area again, Gov. Blanco had this to cryptic quip to say1:

"Gov. Kathleen Blanco has urged residents in Louisiana's coastal parishes to evacuate northward immediately. For those who refused to leave, she alluded to their identification after their possible deaths: "Perhaps they should write their Social Security numbers on their arms with indelible ink."

Rant Against Pacifist Dorothy Day

In Dorothy Day's writings, it seems there is almost a magical symbolic aura around poverty. Day quotes scripture to reason out that, "the love of money is the root of all evil," and proclaims that, "our work... [that] we perform here at the headquarters of the Catholic Worker [is] without other salary or recompense."

This is a very self-serving martyristic attitude. In denying money and clothing herself metaphorically in literary allusions to biblical texts, Day is denying the true nature of poverty. She is romanticizing this squalid human condition through symbolic and literal martyrdom: willful suffering on behalf of an ideal.

notice: this is a repost of a 3AM essay when everyone else was sleeping...

I know many kossians are non-religious, but please, read on through before denegrading and bashing. Be openminded!
I don't understand why conservatives insist that Jesus wanted certain things in society to be the way they are, and to be so bigoted and casting out in regards to others.

Jesus, for his time, was an ultra-raging liberal.

The Roman empire decided to eradicate him because he was stirring up Judea and inciting revolt in the area with his ideas of social equality, and love and brotherhood.

Forget all the fluff and stories in the bible: the true central tenant is this: He. Was. A. Liberal.

He stood for social equality at a time when there were slaves. He preached brotherhood between rival tribes of Israel and in the region (Pharasies, Samaritains and the like). He spent his time with the poor and needy, healing the sick. Jesus, if he practiced what he had today, would probably not even been seen by many of the very Christian people who proclaim to be his followers today.

I do not belive in a God in the in the Christian sense, but I do have faith in a god-like entity.
Let me explain why:

Back in agrarian days of mankind, when we were still pounding rocks together and recently descended from the Apes (as heston would say, the DAMN DIRTY APES :P), we were a religious species.
We thought at first that there was an overall spirit everywhere: in rocks, trees, an intertwining magical force.

This philosophy can still be found in the few hunting and gathering aboriginal socities around the planet today. Everything was connected and had a spirit: things became sectionalized: there became a god of everything instead of a meshed spirit for everything. A god of rocks, a god of trees, a god of a certain river.
