the dark cow of mystery
A Double Dose
War is not the best medicine in our present predicament. I will not, however, go as far as Evita. I believe that the reasons a just, but we must look at the people that were dealing with. The Arabs, in particular the Muslims, are hardy peoples. They survive and thrive in a barren desert(in heavy robes no less). They have a single god who is always on their side. The religion of Islam survived great hardship before the Koran was even written. After Muhamed(sp?) began preaching the good news, he was driven out of his peers in Mecca to Medina, were he was continually attacked (yes by men on horses with pointy objects). He and his small group of followers repeatedly defeated these groups much larger in number. As neighboring groups and tribes saw God's hand in these victories, his followers grew, until he could eventually return to Mecca, were he spared the people and destroyed the idols in the temples. If we attack the zealots, any who survive will be seen as God's chosen, just as what happened in Islams beginnings. This would lead others to see the relativily small number of extremists as following the right path, increasing their numbers and potency for at least a decade, if not longer.

Respect is the Cure
my religion paper(that i rote all night on sonday to munday) is a brilliant picture painted in the starlight. I started by setting the scene with dark images and muted tones. Then i worked on the character. My thesis didn't pop up until about halfway through it, but that's all right because my opener is damn fine, nice and eyecatching(the three points of desiribility). it really sidestepped the whole assignment, but that's alright because it's still good. Hopefully it's not like an author i red's first novel(i believe it was anne mcaffery). She was asked to write a story in french class, and she did it. The teacher gave her compliments on her skill/style and an F on the assignment. It was written in english, not french.
Hehehe. My computer has three quarantined files. hehehe. maybe yall might want to get your self a virus program and give yourself a through examination 'cus i only have ten or so sites that i go to and one of them might be yours. Remember Respect Yourself, Protect Yourself.
