re >>SCALIA: MENACE TO DEMOCRACY<<

when the war in Croatia (or was it Bosnia? Not important for the point coming) was at its peak, the supervisor of the school my eldest was vising, asked me to talk about it to his class.

I dont think I was very much successful at explaining the situation. However, I do remember one question, which was rather simple and practical :"What can I or we do about it?" My answer was:"Take care of your own place, dont let it happen to you. You can export peace, if there's no peace, understanding and tolerance in your own front yard".

So ... my way of fighting the bigotry and narrow-mindedness and stupidity is taking care of it right here, where I may have some influence. And that's already something. Better than helping others with advices and ideas - not that I would not do it now and then, but darn the weak flesh of mine; -.

My good wishes with US.

My thoughts are sometimes with Jehoshua, aka Christ. There's moments, where I assume he would stop the discussion with the learned round of established and budding Great Inquisitors and just make a practical suggestion:"Let's go ahead with crucifiction, guys, my father is waiting for me..."
