bombs in Boston ... and now in Texas???

On the other hand, we are showing these people that "we"...the majority of us...are unified and will voluntarily unite and do whatever it takes to expose "one of these things is not like the others..."however what would our society do if we had ten times as many incidents? We couldn't afford to do what is being done in Boston every single time.

I know, i know...you seem to be defending the right of other cultures to not be labeled as "them" by us. My point is that "us" can be them too if they would only cooperate and not go against our culture and way of life.

Yes. WE=all sane and ratinal people who seek to do no harm to others and who just want to be able to freely enjoy baseball, marathons and hockey games without being in a war.THEY= individuals who, for whatever reason, seek to involve us(WE) in a war or who simply desire to kill or maim us to inflict terror or harmJar may think that these people may in fact be sane, but my opinion is that anyone who seeks to harm anoher human is not sane.

I took a page from the jar handbook on social introspection. Phats FacebookThis is what I posted:

Now that this whole tragedy in Boston is winding down, I can only say this: Using critical thinking, I dismiss all of the "Alex Jones/Info Wars" rumors of a government conspiracy...they didnt blow up the World Trade Center either... but the United States could do better in regards to being an aggressive global Empire that preserves the interests of the wealthy at the expense of the poor of the world. In addition, as a Christian, I believe that humanity is in the midst of a centuries long Spiritual War and that as the population of the earth becomes enlightened and educated, this war is only going to intensify. And its not a physical nor a military/FBI/Police issue...it is a Jesus issue and humanity groans for our Savior...our lost communion with God...our Blessed Hope.

Now I know you critics will gnash your teeth at my religious outlook, and to be fair...this was quoted from one of the news articles on the Boston suspects: thus it could be argued that religion itself is a cause of many of these conflicts, though I would say that the abuse and manipulation of religion is the real issue. To love and believe in Jesus is of itself not problematic.

We thought, however, it would be interesting to take a quick look at just what's been out there since the attack, how interest groups and partisans have attempted to use the Boston bombings to further a cause or make a political point. Here's just a flavor of what has unfolded

Perhaps terrorism achieves the goal of confusin political and social agendas, but it seems to me that it also unifies nationalism....something unwise for a foreign enemy to do. Unless of course the strategy is to cause us to overreact and bankrupt our system.
