Good Luck, Iranians
You are admired for your courage and steadfastness.
Why is no one listening?
Because they are idiots.
Best of luck on your demonstrations.
That's what I'm talkin' about.

God and Freedom
Morality.
Lack of.
It is either what you think or what you see, or what you think you see.
Sure, poke around. You'll see lots of bad stuff. Fools. It's too easy to see the bad stuff. Immorality abounds.
But if I turn off my TV, turn off the computer, and look out the window, I see quite the opposite. It's Sunday morning. There they go, darling little girls, smartly dressed young men, moms and dads, into the minivans and off to church. These are hard working people, patriotic, PTA/school/church volunteers, nice people. They are my neighbors. Their home and cell numbers are programmed into my cell phone. We call on each other for help every day. There is well-placed trust with each other and our children, homes, and pets.
We don't go to the same church, we don't work at the same company, we come from different places, different heritages. Yet with these diverse pillars to our lives we have all done one thing the same; we have chosen, through the freedom granted by our forefathers, to be moral. Our morality is not imposed, through law or coercion or fear of stoning or beheading. That type of morality it too easy. Choosing to be moral, while being constantly bombarded by vice after vice, is hard. We are not perfect, well, at least I am not.

Who's Pavlov?
Just wanted you all to know.
I have seen the local news reports about the raid on the islamic center in Fairfax, Virginia.
That's awfully close to home my friends.
So this CAIR guy, some smooth talking ass, says this action will do nothing except raise suspicions of arabs and muslims.
Well, duh!
It's a Pavlovian response. Remember? Ring a bell, give food. Ring a bell, give food. Ring a bell, give food. Ring a bell, give food. Ring a bell, give food. Ring a bell, give food. Ring a bell, give food. Ring a bell, give food. Ring a bell, give food. Ring a bell, give food. Ring a bell, give food. Ring a bell, give food.
Ring a bell. Are we going to expect food? Ah...yeah.
See the parallel? arab muslim, slice a throat. arab muslim, slice a throat. arab muslim, slice a throat. arab muslim, blow something up. arab muslim, blow something up. arab muslim, blow something up. arab muslim, blow something up. arab muslim, blow something up. arab muslim, blow something up. arab muslim, slice a throat. arab muslim, slice a throat. arab muslim, slice a throat. arab muslim, blow something up.
My sincerest appreciation to Russian physicist Ivan Petrovitsj Pavlov and his work.
