Unrest and wars

I love the internet and the access it provides to news of the world but I can't help but be a little bit concerned by all the headlines which could be grouped under the heading: "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet." [Matthew 24:6] Well, that is somewhat of a relief. Ha! So the burning question is: How long must we endure? Should I move to another country and if so, which one? Perhaps the space station might be the safest place to be in the future.

Question

Is "CouponSuzy.com" the former "Chapstick Suzie"?

No new nut cases?

Where have all the religious nut cases gone? Seems like this past week or two has been rather quiet. One real nut case and a dangerous one however, is President Mahmoud Ahmadinejak of Iran who visited the U.N. this week for another vitriolic speech. That guy is sick sick sick.

Confusion reigns

Hold on there...not so fast. Who has said what and to whom? Pastor Jones is now backing off somewhat and the Imam in NYC does not seem to know what is going on here.

Pastor nixes Quran-burning, claims NYC mosque deal - Yahoo! News

Thank you Pastor Jones for coming to your senses and working with the imam in this delicate matter.

The Voice of Hate

The Voice of Hate in America. I wonder how he would feel if someone burned a stack of Bibles or his church? Has he forgotten about the Christian Crusades and all the pain and suffering those caused? Why is it that small minded evangelicals from small churches offer up so much hate in this country?

Hate filled world

Fred Phelps hates gays ("God Hates Fags") and Terry Jones hates Muslims. What is this world coming to anyway? If there is any burning to do, Mr. Phelps and Mr. Jones should be burned at the stake.

End of summer??

Well, this is the weekend that traditionally tourists go home, or at least thin out. It is also the time when the weather improves here in San Francisco. That is, the fog lessens and the average temperature goes up, or at least that is the way it usually happens. With the changes caused by global warming there is no telling what will happens anymore. The past two days have been wonderful but a cooling trend is predicted and things may be below normal by Wednesday and so it goes. It has been very much of a roller coaster ride the past few weeks.

Fall is here with the schools opening and the opera and symphony seasons resuming once again. It is one of my favorite times in this city.

My gray matter is not working too well tonight so that will all for now.
