By Jim Yell, February 7, 2007 at 7:07 am # Yes, yes our good Saudi Friends, the rapist tourists who believe woman are objects of abuse if they don’t have a husband, father or brother around to protect them. Yes, yes the good moral Saudi’s who funded and encouraged the radical education of the young to use violence to further their “one true” relgion, or another way to get to the head of the line formed by people waiting to register their “one true religion”. Islam based upon plagarized Jewish scripture from the people they despise. At lest half of their population kept in dependency because Saudi men are afraid of independant women. Yes, yes the wonderful moral and murderous Saudi’s---to have such friends indeed. No wonder Bush/Cheney value them so much.

Also, Michael Cross made a good point about defining fighting a so called war on “Terror” would be much like fighting a war on “Jealousy” who, what, when, where why or how do “We” draw the line and on whom? Eeerily similiar to the war on “Communism” in my life-time and yet everything we buy take a gander--Made in China.

We all need to abandon traditions and customs, and start to live an idealogically dynamic lifestyle, where your beliefs from birth to death, are in constant flux. I don’t like being told what I can and cannot draw, because of some ancient law in some ancient book somewhere. Grow up! We are the only species which enforces stupid laws on our kids early on in their lives. The 7-day week, 3 meals a day, competitiveness instead of compassion, and religion of any traditional form, are all anachronisms, IMO.
