AngerAs I write, unimaginable suffering stands ready to burst forth onto hundreds of lives . Not just Hundreds of young children, victims of a conflict they neither understand nor care for; but also dozens of young Chechens, driven by hatred to be potential child murderers. Not just death, too: for those left outside remains unsufferable agony, whatever the outcome of the siege; for any inside who survive, indelible mental scars.Anger
Perhaps the hostages will be saved. But that will have its own cost: dozens of wasted young Chechen lives, and the seeds of yet bigger anger in the Chechen population.

Godless Morality"You atheists - you're all immoral hedonists." "How's that?" "Well, if you don't believe in God then there's no right or wrong." "Really? How does that work?

Sunday Morning, Before...Sunday Morning, Before You Told MeSunday Morning, Before...
City ordinance #1911.133 Prohibits dogs from barking On Sunday morning. It's that time when everything looks Too bright And any coffee brewed this morning Will taste like the best coffee ever made. Getting up, I exercise every joint In a luxurious, elaborate stretch. Through the window The streets look well-rested, almost indulgent.
