>Beware of right wing extremists. They are very dangerous. Many were willing to take away some civil liberties/due process for Muslims in the USA. They closed their eyes to wholesale rounding up and incarceration of Muslims following 911. They closed their eyes to torture and in fact became advocates of it. They closed their eyes to the policy of extraordinary rendition - kidnapping and exporting of Muslims to other countries where they were tortured. They closed their eyes to war crimes - targeting of civilians, invasion/occupation of countries without declaration of war, use of white phosphorus as a weapon, cluster bombing, etc., etc.... I could go on and on... Now we have a extreme right winger doing mass murder and everyone is forgetting about it! And I'm confident if they had decided now to start incarcerating and torturing members of the Aryan Nations, the John Birch Society, the Tea Party or any other extreme right wing group, there would be howls of protest... I don't advocate any of this. Hypocrisy on a world class scale. This illustrates clearly the intolerance and racism widespread in the wingers.

Kenneth Are you reading the news about Norway? The Media is full of talk surmising what is the case in Norway. IMO it is premature to comment -------to do so is speculation on what happened in Norway . Yes, the internet is like a game of Gossip------a comment is started by the first person in the circle and passed along until it gets to the last player in the circle. Inevitably, the last player states what was heard and it ends up being no where near the comment that started the game of Gossip. So it is with the news stories and the background info at this time---------no one has the full truth. What can I do or you do or anyone do---------- that is to say a prayer for the parents of the children who died and for the souls of the children who died as well as for those who died in the bombings. mj.
