Ichy,

This pretty much covers geo :

The new enemies of Reason are not the enraged democrats who executed Socrates, the Christian zealots who persecuted philosophers of heliocentricity, or the Nazis who burned books. No, they are a pampered and scared Western public that caves to barbarism — dwarves who sit on the shoulders of dead giants, and believe that their present exalted position is somehow related to their own cowardly sense of accommodation.

For a long list of reasons, among them most surely the assurance that they can do this without being killed. Such cowards puff out their chests when trashing an ill Oriana Fallaci or Ariel Sharon or beleaguered George W. Bush in the most demonic of tones, but prove sunken and sullen when threatened by a Dr Zawahri or a grand mufti of some obscure mosque.

Ichy, it's clear that you have a soft spot in your heart for pedophiles. That's par for the course for rightwingers. You put your own needs and desires ahead of the safety of our children.

This is not a good thing.

Foley resigned all on his own. He's gone into hiding, er, rehab because he knows what he did and that he shouldn't have done so.

Republicans are hypocrites. You want to strip human beings from Constitutional Protections and presume them so guilty from just your say so that you can shut them up in prison for life and torture them just for the sake of torture.

Yet Republicans also want to protect Republican pedophiles.

It's clear that you guys have no morality. I've known this for a very long time but now it's out for the entire world to see.

You should fix this. God does not approve of this kind of hypocrisy or lack of protection for the most vulnerable amongst us.

I will pray for you.
