WE ARE NOT ALONE
According to Examiner.com "Close to one million bloggers responded, providing reports, comments and analysis to these tragic events." Most of them are kinder than this writer by not attributing the violence entirely to Jones, but statements of "idiot" and "lunatic" abound.
The matter of Jones' accountability, however, will be on everyone's mind in the weeks to come. It engenders the same angst we suffered during the Phelps vs. Snyder case and its treatment by the Supreme Court: freedom of speech vs. accountability. This time, however, people will suffer both emotional and physical anguish - including death - because one man chose to spurn humanity in deference to his own ego, an ego which was fostered and enlarged by a section of our religious society that did little to silence him.
Now, in addition to lives lost, protests still rage in Afghanistan, spreading to Kandahar. It's been reported that a bus of school girls at an America Academy has been attacked - the Taliban do not approve of education for women.
And Jones plans more protests. God save us.
