Thinking Deep

[cornerofmadness]

And hoping that those I know in London are all right. From the reports the damage, compared to what it could have been has only killed a few and what a terrible thing to be grateful for. I can't even say I'm surprised. I've been expecting this for the last few years. My surprise is it took the terrorists this long and there haven't been other attacks here in the states. My prayers and wishes for all those affected by this latest attack.

You never hear me talk politics here. In fact I abhorr talking politics at all and generally if you put up a politic post I tend not to read it because I'd rather not know how radically different I might be from some of my friends. I don't have much time or patience with conservatism with one exception, crime and punishment. Mother Nature is heading, screaming with 100+ m.p.h. winds, towards a certain prison holding over 500 terrorists...

What I don't understand is the perceived effectiveness of people like the Pope speaking out against things like this. Why can't we come up with a prominent Islamic figure to speak out against them? They'd make a much bigger impact - and perhaps guilt trip - than Catholic figureheads, right?

one would think especially since the Pope is the perceived enemy

HA this is such an excellent idea. Of course we'd have to find one that would speak out against them and perhaps that's the problem

I know there's been a few but probably not anyone the zealots will listen to. Then again, zealots do not listen

Well you know there is that story in the bible about the flood. Occasionally Mother Nature, God, the Supreme Being, whatever you want to call him/her takes over. I know it's wrong to think finally and yet I don't feel guilty.

I'd feel better about that if I were absolutely certain that all of those 500 people were terrorists.
