Well, every other blogger in the world is throwing their 2 bits into the ring regarding the terrorist bombing in London... so why should I be any different?
I remember on 9/11 when the towers were hit. I saw it. Live. On t.v.
It was sickening.
And now today, normal, average and easy going people are going about their lives, coming to and from work or shopping, what have you. They were on their way to continue to live their lives in peace. That is... until a radical terrorist thought he could change the world in his favor by blowing him/her self up and everyone around them in the process.
How much more WRONG could they be? And they just don't see it.
In the process of thinking of what to say at this moment, I turned to my trusty, rusty google search and came up with a GEM of a quote for all this:
People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use. Soren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855)
Such is the case today. "Islamic" fundamentalists are speaking out through violence when they have neither educated themselves or "infidels" on just what it is they are trying to achieve. Sure we "know" but the mere thought of talking to us, debating us, negotiating with us is just no good in their minds. They are right, we are wrong... end of discussion.
Seldom using thought? Try NO thought going on at all. Whoever said "ignorance is bliss" was only kidding himself.
Kierkegaard must be an interesting person. I've heard good and bad about this author, perhaps it's time to think a little harder on his words.

Aren't the terrorists saying the same thing?
By the way, FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIAN PRO LIFERS ARE BOMBING ABORTION CLINICS. Fundamentalist muslims are bombing "the white devil". When you see a religion as more right than any other, you are arguing over IDEAS which you cannot even PROVE.
You are begging for that dunce cap, aren't you?
By the way, you saw nothing live on tv.
Is it just me or have terrorist attacks gone UP since the war against terror?
It's like playing with a hornet's nest.
Everytime we bomb a country we need to think..."What will their kids be like?"
