"He repeated this ritual three times,..."
The words that forced me to turn off NPR today,....
"The attacks in Arkansas and Washington are both manifestations of a radical type of intolerance, and they are linked in very deep ways. The left, generally speaking, doesn't want to acknowledge Muslim intolerance, and the right, generally speaking, doesn't want to acknowledge white, Christian intolerance. But they both exist, and they should both be acknowledged."
"These Scientologists have two goals in Germany, to get their message to children, and make their organisation respectable. The film does both: it has put a top Scientologist at the centre of a national debate about German history. That’s dangerous."
Scientology's working the Nazi angle, huh? Very strange. And look - here's a video of the Transcendental Meditation cult talking that Nazi stuff in Germany, too, back when they were announcing their plans to build a temple on "Devil's Mountain":
And, of course, the Nazi cult - with their political "messiah" - was swept into power during tough economic times, with everybody thinking about race, in just this same unthinking, spiritually-inspired manner,...but, hey, that's just a coincidence, right? No big deal?
Well, it's been over 12 hours, and still no articles on "overflowing landfills". Funny how that can happen, considering it's (apparently) such an overwhelming problem that many in the Bay Area feel the need to force guests in their homes to kowtow to their demands on behalf of the supposedly imperiled environment. Since I've never asked people to do such things (I even have ashtrays for smokers) I don't know how "good" that feels.
San Francisco's mayor says The City's doing "good". I know because I read it in today's paper, while watching two crack heads smoke rock on Market Street, about five feet away from a cop. No mention if Alex Tourk's family is doing any better after the mayor slept with his wife. But nobody in this "city of compassion" cares about Alex Tourk anyway. Loser. He doesn't even have "good" hair.
When asked Your Take On The State Of The City?, Matt Mitguard said:
Lots of stuff in the paper today, including a huge mass of plastic in the ocean outside of San Francisco. (There's talk of putting it in our "overfilled landfills", don't you know,...) It's probably from all those Bay Area residents who drank bottled water to "protect their health". This, of course, was before they discovered they were drinking tap water all along. Bottled water's extra bacteria just tasted so "good", didn't it?
Paul Addis, the guy who set the Burning Man on fire early, tried to damage Grace Cathedral according to police, claiming "it was his religious right." Funny how bad things happen with religion or spirituality associated, isn't it? (They're supposed to be so "good".) Must be something about that "new paradigm" I keep hearing about,...
And for all the yoga people (and other cultists) in the Bay Area, there's the heartwarming story of clothes from The Gap being made by child labor in that most "spiritual" of places, India. Yes, indeed.
