[Domestic Church]

"But I shall not forget how some of those in supposed authority decided that the end had come, and made it a point to keep it to themselves and their immediate friends, perhaps to stop the crowding of the roads. That's how it will be on the day of Armageddon, and that's why the citizen should always plan to outlive the state, rather than the other way round"

Good Morning, America.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Christopher Hitchen's words: "But I shall not forget how some of those in supposed authority decided that the end had come, and made it a point to keep it to themselves and their immediate friends, perhaps to stop the crowding of the roads. That's how it will be on the day of Armageddon, and that's why the citizen should always plan to outlive the state, rather than the other way round"

Your words: "Good Morning, America"

I say: Earth to America, earth to America!

I told the Hitchen's account to some people and some were visibly perturbed and vocally angry. Not at the truth of Hitchen's words, mind you. I upset them by telling them what Hitchens said. The truth is uncomfortable to some people who prefer not to know because they feel there is nothing they can do about it and remaining out of "the know" is how they best handle it. God Bless their hearts just the same; they are just as right. Sometimes I wish I were that way too.
