9 / 12

We had a chance to stand up, and stand we did - opposing mindless acts of symbolic terror and burning, which themselves could be precursors of actual terror. Let us not forget that Nations may be terrorists, and the terror of Nations is War, Rendition, and Torture. Terror everywhere in every form must be opposed.
Many of us stood up to be counted against Intolerance.

Now, of course, there are copycats. We knew there would be. However, the Whore of Babylon - also known as the Media - has a short memory and is off to find Novelty!

I woke up this morning with a sense that the high water mark of Fear, Ignorance, and Intolerance had been reached over the weekend and will now begin to recede. Amen to that!
