normally, I reserve all terrible thoughts and words for my Father. But Roger isn't with me anymore. He's still alive, I think, just not with me. So I'm jumping out of turn and specifically speaking to the issues in the Middle East.
Tunisia was the Harper's Ferry Rebellion in the Middle East. And, unlike the actual Ferry Rebellion, it produced a winner (not JWBoothe). Egypt. Mubarak has been forced out, not because of the demonstrations, but because his government stopped all communication with the outside world. If he hadn't done that, he would still be in power. I'm not talking about normal censorship, Mubarak cut it all off. But no country, at this point (with a couple of exceptions: Canada, New Guinea, North Korea, US), can survive without the outer-world connection Egypt cut off. So Mubarak had to step down because of his own foolish decision.
That's what the sand religions do to you. Makes you impervious, makes you not care about consequences, makes you the eternal victim. I have no intellectual reason to be nice to Is***. It's the worst thing in the modern world. Sure, there are nice ones, modern Muhammadians, but the actual ones are worse than Fundamentalist Christians. Both camps are illiterate and/or only subscribe to one version of the truth. Unfortunately, that truth means death. So stupid.
I don't have much hope for this world. I'm sure even the moderates on every side will eventually have to look at a dead family member and say that God killed him/her. And when that realization hits, we will all be free. Not that God took anyone to a better place, but that your God killed someone. That someone is my mother, is someone's sister, is a father. All of your Gods killed my mother because all of you said he saves people. Dumbasses. All of you.
