wow, Knot, you are on a roll. Yes, exactly, I agree. Where is that man in current popular "Christian" thought?

Luna, I got too political and upset and Oxysback had to remind me that either side can point to nastiness in the other side.

But I have read the words of Gabrielle Giffords and it breaks my heart that one of the things she cared about the most was "toning it down" and trying to find common ground and civil discourse with other politicians in her own community. She didn't like that rifle sight map pointing at her. I wouldn't like it either!

I am glad she is doing so good. It also breaks my heart that so many other people are dead or seriously wounded partially because in our society it is incredibly easy to hurt people (with words or legal weapons of mass destruction) and it is so hard to put them back together unless they are very lucky and have good health insurance. ( a 12 year old came up with that observation, I can't claim it for myself.)
