Fanatic Ritual

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).
