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!

I hope you're right about that at the end. It was such a relief when Rev. Jones backed off his plan. Maybe the media hype will do what it sometimes does, which is to make people more aware of the extremes out there and wake us up to actively fighting it.

Are you sure about the receding? Look what one nut case and the Whore of Babylon can do in a couple or three hours.

I actually am beginning to think that it was the Media that descended upon the elders and men of Babylon and drove them insane, gibbering in outlandish speech!

So whatever happened to Jonesy? Is he still in New York? Did he wake up in a flat in Soho, not remembering what went on?
I noticed the last picture I saw he had a Harley t-shirt on. Did he get on his hawg and ride off seeking America?
This is where the story should be getting good: the services after the big event. What are the parishioners doing? Are they slipping off into the swamp and holding private arsons?

I will bet you dinner in New Orleans that we see him next to Sarah Palin at some event sometime between now and election day 2012.

I don't think I'd ever collect. ;-)

I'm stopping in New Orleans for some crab dinner - assuming such things exist - before I take off to Prince Edward Island.
