Yoko Ono, widow of slain Beatle John Lennon, issued a plea for forgiveness to the world's suffering people in a full page notice in Sunday's New York Times entitled "Forgive us." Noting that the December 8 anniversary of her husband's murder at the hands of an assassin was approaching, Ono thanked the people from whom she hears each year, but said she wanted to send a message this year as well.
Directing her words to "people who have lost loved ones without cause," to "the soldiers of all countries and of all centuries," to civilians who were injured or killed and to "people who have been abused or tortured," Ono wrote "Know that your loss is our loss ... Know that the burden is ours," and asked "Forgive us."
To the soldiers of all countries and of all centuries? They are supposed to forgive us? To whom are you referring as "us"? For what do the ambiguous "us" (or "we" for proper grammar) need forgiving? For being moonbats? And uhm, past centuries? Seems to me that the dead cannot give forgiveness. That is something you have to do while living. I don't get it.
She also stated that she didn't know if she could yet forgive Lennon's killer, but added "healing is what is urgently needed now in the world. Let's heal the wounds together."
Ono concluded by asking that December 8 become "the day to ask for forgiveness from those who suffered the insufferable," and for "healing ourselves" and thus the world.
Oh, so everyone is supposed to forgive everyone else for every insufferable thing, but you are not willing to forgive your husband's killer? How completely typically hypocritical. How will all the hurt people forgiving "us" help the world heal, if you as one of those hurt people are not ready and willing to do so?
I don't know why any of this should surprise or bother me. Somebody pass the duct tape.

How completely typically hypocritical.
Bingo. And that is exactly what burns me up the most about these people.
And why I have absolutely zero respect for them.
Heh, and she proposes that we recognize December 8th for this, day of forgiveness?
Hmmm ... anyone wanna tell me what is significant about December 7th?
Just wonderin' ...
Fix, that thought crossed my mind. My VFW calendar says Dec. 8 War Declared on Japan, 1941.
So, is Yoko Ono ready to forgive the US for Nagasaki? Doubt it.
Or, is she saying we need to forgive Japan for their attack? And, feel guilty for winning the war, WWII?
Yoko Ono needs to repent - for torturing us ALLLL with her crappy singing!!!
She has nothing, and is nothing ... if not for John Lennon.
(and, sorry, but i don't swoon for those morons either - The Beatles)
LOL! I think Dec. 8 is just an all around unpleasant day for the poor woman and she's trying to make us all feel the same misplaced guilt that she has from various sources. Coupled with her moonbat beliefs about world peace and her platform of fame to speak from and you get... well... All these fascinating theories on making the world a better place.
Moonbat. There's no better term for the woman, period. I never, ever liked the b*tch.
That said, I'll never forget the day Lennon was killed. TSMP and I sat on our living room floor in London that evening and cried as we watched the Beeb's hastily-assembled tribute. Lennon was definitely an iconic individual for those of us "of a certain age." YMMV, and I see it certainly does...
I gotta add that Lennon's best work was behind him when he was murdered. And I don't want to hear "Imagine" ever again. Never. Never. Never.
The Beatles were never my favorite, though I did go through a phase at one time of listening to Abbey Road about every day. I like Joe Cocker's remake of "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" lots better than the original though.
On the topic of the Beatles.... I saw Ringo Starr on a PBS special recently. Oh, my, gosh.... I've heard better singing on the American Idol freaky rejects show... It was unbelievably bad.
I like the Beatles, but I have always thought that Yoko was very odd. It does not surprise me that she is a moonbat deluxe hypocrit.
