The Past Tense of the following Biblical passage is a story telling of what John saw in his dream.
Peace in the Animal Kingdom
"Truly, peace reigned everywhere, even in the animal kingdom. The lion did lie down with the lamb. The wolf and the lamb fed together, and the lion ate straw like an ox (Isaiah 65:25). The wolf lived with the lamb, the leopard laid down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the colt were together; and little children led them around. The cow ate with the bear and the young calves and the cubs laid down together (Isaiah 11:6-7). Infants played near the holes of cobras, and young children put their hands into the nests of vipers to play with them (Isaiah 11:8)."
Moving right along, the Evangelical Neocons who want to MAKE Paradise rather than believing truly in The Second Coming as promised in Revelations will do so at the expense of the USA Taxpayer.
America could be a very large zoo
WASHINGTON - We shouldn't be too quick to dismiss the idea being floated in the current issue of Nature magazine of populating North America with endangered wild animals from Africa.
The ecologist-authors argue that this would not only save the animals, but restore a biodiversity and landscape lost when the inhabitants of our continent drove similar animals - lions, cheetahs, elephants, camels - to extinction 13,000 years ago, much as the Africans are doing with their present-day wildlife.
The fauna of the plains and prairie are grossly different than what this fauna requires.
Editorial Moving African Animals Coming to America is too wild an idea
You can just hear Bob Newhart launching into his phone routine:
"You wanna do what?... let lions and cheetahs loose in America?... The Great Plains?... That's where they used to be back in the day? Heh-heh-heh-heh... sorry, no, sorry, I'm listening... heh-heh-heh... you want to... let elephants run wild on the plains?... heh-heh-heh... tigers on the prairie?... if you let some cheetahs loose, it'll be good for the pronghorn antelope because... heh-heh-heh... because they have no one to run away from right now? Yeah, I guess that would give 'em something to run away from... them and the entire state of Nebraska... heh-heh-heh-heh... "
In a study published in Nature, some Cornell University scientists say such a plan would be good for the environment, the animals, everyone. Newhart would love it.
THIS IS JUST A BAD IDEA resulting from people who promised their constituency Paradise..

It will destroy the prarie of the American West...
... and the animals are best off in their native habitat with protections from the countries they already live. As if Kenya could do anything differently.
The Neocons in DC are going to do such a good job in raising IVORY they'll take off the crime of owning it to provide a new wealth infusion besides oil.
This is another Neocon SCAM to raise wildlife for profit including "Meals on Wheels" for those that love to eat endangered wildlife.
This is NOT a conservation program. Not by a long shot.
I don't hear anyone saying there are contracts with the countries of origin to return their populations at the expense and compansion of the USA government do you?
This is TEXA$$.
They are turning species of 'game animals' into profit and raising them like cattle. (THE ZOO ASPECT IS A CONVENIENT FRONT FOR A GAME RANGE)
Countries where these animals live should see this as a travesty and prevent the export of THEIR tourist attractions !! The conservation efforts by many African nations is rather impressive. They need to be commended for it !
This is exploitation of animals for profit. That is all it is. Moooo on the hoof with stripes, trunks and giraffe prints. Imagine the coats, huh?

'CNN is AGAIN turning a conserted effort for peace ...
... into a strategy.
They send Anderson Cooper to Crawford to report on Cindy Sheehan's quest for answers and proceed to turn it into a CINDY BASHING hour whereby every Texan who carries a grudge against peace got to say how the peace movement was undermining the troops in Iraq.
Now this morning the strategy continues.
CNN is interlacing 'social interests' with segments of dead soldiers funerals where eulogises are taped Pro-War segments whereby these soldiers lived to die for their country.
They are trying to impart places hardest hit by troop deployments such as North Carolina have a lot of disgruntled families and are ACTING OUT in grief for those lost. And while 'holding their hand' the nation can UNDERSTAND their Peace Movement. Condesending every step of the way. That is simply a soldiers job.
Unfortunately what CNN in their strategy to undermine a peace movement doesn't want to say is that the deaths of these people were illegitimate in a payment method by Cheney of Halliburton. THAT IS WHERE THE IMMORALITY comes to bear and there is no getting away with it. While, every person in this nation sympathize with the military dead and their families what those that refuse to accept fraud as a reason for war want is THE WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS from Iraq. We know for a fact that the troops are the reason for the insurgency. All Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld has to do is move the troops to Afghanistan and find Osama bin Laden and the men who came to Iraq to fight Ameicans will follow !
