I realize that you didn't think of the design, Blue, but that's just unfair, 90% of the people who believe in the premise of that bumper sticker wouldn't understand E=MC2, why should they be denied the position of shortchanging themselves? ;)
My friend who served in a Civil Affairs unit in Iraq said that there were 99 tribes that made up the population. None could get along with the other. He said that whenever he asked any of the different tribe members if there would ever be peace or co-existence in Iraq, they ALL answered, "Yes, when the other 98 tribes are dead or eliminated." That's the SWA version of living in a diversified community.
Blue: I agree - however, it's when someone says, "I just want what's mine - and some of yours, too" that makes me worry. Hitler said the same thing about "living space" and "no more territorial gains" after all ethnic Germans had been "rightfully returned" to Gross Deutschland. ISIS (and the other psychopaths hiding behind a religious cause) is practicing an updated version of what he preached. Coexistence is when they are living next to / on top of the mass graves of others.

ReplyDeleteGrog... I'm just hoping that they would realize that they had seen it somewhere... :)
ReplyDeleteMADDOG... I call it human nature to want to protect your territory :)

ReplyDeleteNetanyahu got off a good quip the other day. He said something like: "You do not lie down to sleep next to a scorpion."
