What's going on?
The Danish / Norwegian embassy in flames, Syrian protesters shooting guns into the sky, Palestinian terrorists win an election on a platform of war, Sydney beaches hosting race riots, London marchers with placards that offer a new holocaust all over some cartoon etc. Meanwhile the US, the UN and the Vatican are telling the Danish and Norwiegens that they are wrong to publish these pictures, not one person seems to notice the vast over reaction. Excuse me where's the tolerance, the understanding and compassion in Islam. I want to see it. As much as i don't like the west, capitalism, democracy (or what at least passes for it) i think i rather be here than in any other place but the time has come for people to stop this pc bullshit and be honest, Islam is outta control, it's just plain nuts to react the way it has over a cartoon.

Anyways i am exhausted, very strenuous day, lots of fallout with family post grandma, strange conversations and i am so far away it gives me a head ache. All i really want to do is sleep. Sleep and dream. Here's a little story for you.

This is an old story about a wise gentle man watching the caterpillar struggle out of its cocoon. he watched for hours as this little creature tore, ripped and ate its way free from its one time prison. the man was so amazed at the caterpillar he offered to assist it by levering free a large part of the cocoon. The creature fell out, and proceeded to open its wings, however it was deformed and its arms were not fully developed.
You see the mans intentions where honorable, he figured he would help the creature and gain some good karma, but the creature needed the struggle, the struggle would develop muscles and resources and he would have emerged fully formed if left to his own devices. We have no real idea how the laws of karma work, we can only imagine how the universe works, we can only gaze in wonder at the stars because we are the butterfly and the hurricane, in fact there is no butterfly or hurricane, they are the same thing.
