I know you’re busy with Turkey-Day preparations, Gentle Reader. So…a word of advice: Don’t go to this site unless you have a significant piece of free time to devote to exploring, reading, and above all…marveling. “Marveling” in the sense that we are oh-so-blessed to live in these United States (assuming you live in the US, and not all of the folks that drop in here at EIP do). Just a quick scan of the “Global Incident Map” reveals the nature, extent and magnitude of terror in the 21st century. While the USofA is by no means immune to terror, we suffer a lot less than others…most notably the Israelis and the Iraqis, just to name two put-upon populations.
Sobering. To say the very least.

Well if that don't make you paranoid, it should at least raise the awareness level!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link...I see a way to use this as a tool to highlight the need to be mindful of our role in the world...and at home.
Happy Thanksgiving!

ReplyDeleteThat's sorta what the folks at Democracy Project said...in addition to "don't argue with your liberal friends...just mail them this!"
And speaking of liberal friends -- one of their lil pet phrases is "The War on Terra," which pisses me off beyond reason or belief. The next time I see that lil piece of work in a comments section somewhere I'm gonna post a link to the Incident Map.
I was gonna try to think only positive thoughts today and I've already blown it by mentioning this. Dang.
