Candle in The Wind | |
|
Goodbye England's rose; may you ever grow in our hearts. You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart. You called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain. Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name. And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind: never fading with the sunset when the rain set in. And your footsteps will always fall here, among England's greenest hills; your candle's burned out long before your legend ever will. Loveliness we've lost; these empty days without your smile. This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child. And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears; all our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years. Goodbye England's rose, from a country lost without your soul, who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know. |

On the note of compassion, is it not the media's role once again to find someone to blame? I want to compare this to mercury, there is no diagnosis, few people understand what it does or why someone appears to be less active, its easy to apply names like lazy, no ambition, confused, hesitates, mumbles, trembles like an alcaholic. There is no doctor to diagnose dental mercury poisoning yet it is incidieous in our culture. When I read this report on the driver it sounded just like one of the many misdiagnosed cases of mercury poisoning I've heard of. "The condition of Henri Paul the driver, who was legally drunk at the time of the accident, according to three blood tests. Paul also had two prescription drugs in his system -- Prozac and tiapride." Many mercury poisoned in the past have died of alcoholism or prescription anti-depression drugs, alcohol chelate's mercury and reduces symptoms, but the mercury also chelate's lithium resulting in altered serrotonin levels. The psychotic prescription drugs act with mercury accelerating toxicity. I am not looking for excuses, but I think of the compassion of Diana, and the thousand's of school children given diagnosis of Attention deficit. Misdiagnosed alcoholics, psychiatric patients, prisoners poisoned by a medically implanted silver bullet in their teeth. The untold story that no newspaper will cover, over 4 million in north America in royalties to the American Dental Association a day is more than any one person can do to overcome negligence. About a dozen large wreaths adorned the altar for Henri Paul and the simple wooden coffin with a brass crucifix, including one with a ribbon that read, "Your friends will not be deceived." The Rev. Leon Theraud led the service, reading an address prepared by Paul's parents. "Jesus denounces all judgments, rumors and lies that we apply to others without checking, without taking into account the complexity of the facts," Theraud said in his homily. "Producers and agents of the media, or readers and consumers, we must all reflect on this ... Are we really looking for the truth alone?" May they all rest in peace, only here can we make a difference. "Toothousand" | |
