The Tao of Jesus Crisis: T Party Peters
I worked with him at the Dayton Daily News and the man is as wacky in person as he is on paper... and as insightful!

I'd love to meet him in person!

we took america from the indians. we took the southwest portion of the u.s. from mexico.
but then the indians likely took over america from earlier humanoids, just as the mexicans took their land from previous life forms.
to live is to eat. to eat is to kill. to kill is to cause moral problems. no one is innocent, not even the kudzu.

Eventually all humans on earth will die - like all empires or all dandelions. Makes me wonder what'll come next...

That last remark would make a great poem or haiku John...
Empires are more like dandelions than we realize...
"the answer my friend is blowing in the wind..."

Thanks, Chris! Maybe I'll refine it into something I can submit to Lilliput Review.
