| The WORD of the Week |
Matthew 3:7-10
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.
And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

Wow that was quick. Everyone who reads your blog knows that you don't buy the story, I didn't mean to suggest that I "speak for more than myself" I just assumed that it was clear. It would be the same thing if I said "We all know your name is Matt Rockel" I wouldn't be speaking for everyone, I would be stating a simple fact perhaps just to open up my comment. Schmuck.
Yes, "the handful" you are the minority. I do not believe that the majority of Americans agree with you. If you know other afcts to back that up then I will concede to you, but until you do then you are "the handful" right or wrong, you are still the minority.
No, you did not use the words "nit-wit" or "Stupid", to this clear fact I concede. We have been commenting back and forth for some time now and if you haven't noticed my proclivity for hyperbole then you really haven't been reading me as closely as you should. You have made the assumption that you can clearly see something that the majority of others cannot (again, if you can prove that your way of thinking is the majority then I apologize) and that everyone who just doesn't see it has been "duped" (your word, not mine) (as a side note, Duped: An easily deceived person or a person who functions as the tool of another person or power).
Thnk you for clearing it up for us. Remember, facts without conclusions are nothing. Facts are not self-interpreting, it's the first rule of logic so I'm surprised that you didn't know that. I do not know that the story we were told is absolutely true, in fact it probably isn't, but to be perfectly honest with you I believe that a group of fundamentalist Muslims (the same people who chop off heads and blow up cars and busses to kill women and children) will fly a plane into a building that represents all of the things which they are taught from birth to hate, than to believe that the American president and all of his staff were in on a plot to kill 3000 Americans just so that he could start a war in Iraq. I'm sorry, perhaps I too am a dupe and it's ok if you think so but I do not see Pres. Bush as the liar and hate monger that you clearly do. He is probably a liar, politicians are, it's part of the reason we vote for them. If you think that John Kerry wans't a liar, Bill Clinton wasn't a liar, or Ted Kennedy isn't a liar then who exactly is the dupe?
Finally, I don't know if there are any other theories because I have not looked into as much as you clearly have, however I'm not sure that there needs to be a better theory than a group of violent Muslim funadmentalist killed as many innocent people as they could, it seems to be a sort of pattern for them in case you haven't noticed.
It is true that I do not dislike president Bush as much as you do, perhaps that is why I'm not ready to believe the first theory that pops up. And it's not schmuck, it's Chuck but I can see where you'd make the mistake, you were pretty upset, sorry that someone would dare to disagree with you Matt, I try my best to but can't find the will power.

| Lyrics of the Week |
ON THE NICKEL
by Tom Waits
("I'd like to do a new song here. This is eh, it's about downtown Los Angeles on 5th Street. And eh all the winos affectionately refer to it as The Nickel. So this is kind of a hobo's lullaby.")
sticks and stones will break my bones,
but i always will be true, and when
your mama is dead and gone,
i'll sing this lullabye just for you,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never comb their hair,
well they're lined up all around the block,
on the nickel over there.
so you better bring a bucket,
there is a hole in the pail,
and if you don't get my letter,
then you'll know that i'm in jail,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never say their prayers,
well they're sleepin' like a baby,
on the nickel over there.
and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star,
well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
just like punchlines between the cars,
and i know a place where a royal flush,
can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson,
is on the nickel over there.
so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain,
and you're always late for supper,
and man you let me down again,
i thought i heard a mockingbird, roosevelt knows where,
you can skip the light, with grady tuck,
on the nickel over there.
so what becomes of all the little boys,
who run away from home,
well the world just keeps gettin' bigger,
once you get out on your own,
so here's to all the little boys,
the sandman takes you where,
you'll be sleepin' with a pillowman,
on the nickel over there.
so let's climb up through that button hole,
and we'll fall right up the stairs,
and i'll show you where the short dogs grow,
on the nickel over there.
