Uncommon Sense and Common Nonsense

THE SEMI VIOLENT protests around the arab world are directed at, you guessed it, the united states of america, and why not? The person, or small group of people, who precipitated the outrage by producing an antil islamic video are, indeed, american. Thus, all americans are to blame. Doesn't that make perfect sense? You professors of logic at Harvard: don't you just love being grouped with religious fanatics?

Nasty stupid video made by american, america is nasty and stupid. Really? That don't make good sense. Hell, that don't even make good nonsense. (D.Crockett)

Short clips of the anti islamic film on the internet were seen by enough people around the world to ignite the controversy. The fool responsible for it had evidently been paroled from prison, where he was incarcerated for financial crimes. A judge will determine whether terms of release have been violated.

But is the fool truly responsible for the violence? Can't we all just ingmore such foolishness?

But, most importantly, it would seem, is the fact that the film was evidently made by "devout", indeed, "fanatic" christians.

The fact that the film was mad by christians is more important than the fact that it was made by americans, because the insipid rubbish was motivated by religion, not international politics. Thus, for moslems to be angry with america is about as goofy as americans being angry as islam.

But all hatred is goofy, aint it?  bin laden and his boys tear down the trade center, blame islam. C'mon now people.

what we have here is a failure to use good old fashioned common sense, which regrettably, is not uncommon. A few years ago the Dixie Chicks said they were ashamed to be from Texas because of george bush. An astute analyst mentioned that they should instead be ashamed to be from this planet.

The late great carl sagan once pointed out that in america there is no shortage of intelligence, just a shortage of education, a shortage of well trained minds thinking intelligently.

Until people start thinking clearly there is no hope of really fixing or improving the currently tragic human condition. But with a little horse sense, hell, who knows what might be possible?
