We will have to give up YouTube, I think. It is too full of Google, too many ads, too much information required. If you know of a better serving site for music and videos, let me know. YouTube needs to go with FaceBook to a dictator's grave. Free the internet.
Speaking of dictators, Osborne's "The Wet and the Dry" has done a better job of explaining the Moslem world than anything I've read. It is a matter of survival for him. Know the fanatics. When reading the news now about Arab Springs and revolts in Syria and demonstrations in Cairo. . . well, I just deleted all my opining since it is informed in the main by the information I've gotten from a well-spoken drunkard. But I am going to have some more substantial conversations with my Moslem friends. They will not like me as much in the end, I am pretty sure. But I've always played softball with them in a way I never have with Christians. No. . . they will be mad at me from now on I'm certain. I will be especially careful if they have a mustache or a beard, though.
O.K. I have my Sunday morning pastry waiting for me. I have one on Sundays after I write my blog. It is what I have in place of fanatic ritual (though some people have that, too).
