Hi X. I got silenced for a few days: The reason was given as being vulgar toward AJ. Kind of hard to wrap your mind around, eh?!

But it is even harder to wrap the mind around this last week. I fear there are terrible times ahead. And in spite of the rhetoric, and the apparent reason--I have no doubt that religion is the General, and reason is simply an extra on the stage of this play which is to come. It is the basis of "justice" that people wish to hurt when they are hurt. Fortunately, this type of retaliation is self limiting. However, ideological stuggles are limited only by the earth available for burial.

One would not even think to prevent retaliation. The hurt is too monstrous for people to endure. But one hopes that great people will find a way to prevent the fenzied opportunism of self interest amongst all nations--self interest which could turn this into a decade which will curse our memories forever.

Sorry--a maudlin day. Not being able to post during this time has perhaps left me somewhat behind. Good to be in touch again with everyone.
