I realize I'm supposed to draw some distinction between those whose loved ones Grieve for them and those whose would-be loved ones Killed them but I cannot.
I find each death a horrific and terrible crime. I suspect the Author of Life does too.
My sister can tell you that each funeral she's attended this past year was absolutely unique in all respects. It's their uniqueness, that the unborn are EXACTLY the same as the born who died on 9/11.
He who knows the numbers of hairs on our heads likely knows precisely what Potential, what children, what joys, what inventions, what love was lost in every human life killed in the womb.
We have become so desensitized to all that, it appears we can only appreciate the loss of innocent life once it looks and acts and is "more like us". That's always the way, though, isn't it? Else how could we be so cavalier about "collateral damage" or speak of "misting Muslims" simply because the patently secularized Arab radicals who perpetrated 9/11 claimed to be on some Holy War mission.
It did truly stun and anger me to see you use the image of some dead man as a punctuation mark on your stinkin flame.
This is precisely one of the reasons I always have argued that images of the dead unborn were not to be posted lightly. It appears an overdose of the images of the dead from 9/11 has ended up a lesson for all in how easily folks are desensitized and can even use such images for cheap Effect.
Well, we're even then, Askel. Because a lot of the things you say stun and anger me, too. Like stating that the Taliban was actually demonized - that in reality, they did good things - all the while slapping President Bush in the face, ridiculing him and judging his heart and motivation at your every opportunity.
Now you suggest that we "pray down destruction" on ourselves because we're just as guilty as Osama bin Laden. I respond with five little words and a photograph, apparently provoking your outrage.
At least I'm efficient.
