 As tragic and unfortunate as it is there is really no surprise that London was bombed. They are allies of the U.S. Apparently the ‘holy warriors’ are too cowardly to face actual soldiers.
These terrorists actually believe that killing our innocent civilians will force us to acknowledge their demands, assuming they have any. Our politicians (as well as most of our citizens) don’t think that way. In a few cases (not to mention any names, G.W. Bush) our leaders even go overboard. Or is it just bloodshed that they are looking for? For what? An angry God that they idolize? It just makes no sense whatsoever… But then these people usually don’t. Afterall we are talking about people such as al-Zarqawi, who’s not even a Iraq native and he’s telling us to leave. Maybe he should listen to the people that actually belong there. But then so should we. I’ve got news for you al-Zarqawi and Bin Laden – your angry god doesn’t exist. Your jihad is futile. It serves no purpose, other than to let the world know that you suck. Go home. To our British counterparts – use the U.S. as a lesson. Don’t let your government over-run you in the name of being “patriotic”. A good example is the ‘US Patriot Act’. There is an oxymoron in a name. All it did was tell Bin Laden that the U.S. is now a police state. |
 It’s truly amazing, and sometimes rather frightening, how easy things are to find on the Internet – even when you aren’t looking.
My morning started as normal – I get to work, sit down and read the news (Usually MSNBC.com, but not always, and a few others). Sometimes an article will catch my interest, so I will “Google” it. This morning’s article of interest – ‘Brooke Shields blasts Tom Cruise’s rants’. As I read through the article I became interested in some of the things Cruise said about Scientology, so that’s what I Googled. I came across thier website, as well as sites that denounce Scientology, of course. Many sites that refer to scientology as a cult, locking people up, trying to heal them, whatever. I didn’t think much of it until I went to this particular website. Apparently the site deals with peculiar deaths where the church of scientology are involved. I really didn’t see much in it. You know, a hell of a long page of a number of names and events that could have very well been made up. I thought that – until I got about halfway down the page and saw a photo of someone I recognized, as well as the name below it… Carrie Slaughterbeck. The Carrie I was thinking of was a girl who had a twin sister, Sandie. I went to school with them since first grade. We used to pass notes in fourth grade, you know? I wasn’t really sure that this was correct, even though I’m sitting here looking at a picture of her. I mean, maybe it’s someone else, right? Again I Googled it… and found what appeared to be a personal site for her… On this web site, under the ‘About Me’, I saw the name ‘Sandie’. That’s Carrie’s twin sister, so at that point I knew this was the right one. I also ran across another web site, so I just decided to follow it up – having to do with dead children of parents who reside in Lafayette. About half way down this site it has Carrie… and Sandie… both of them. Apparently Sandie died in 2002, about five years after Carrie. It’s incredibly tragic. My regards to the family of the girls. Having a twin brother it would be hard for me to imagine such a thing. It’s also interesting, and rather creepy, how I happened to find out about it – Google… |
