It Must Be the Angels Crying

I'm fairly sure that all of the world's major religions have the commandment (or something similar to it) that "thou shalt not kill". So why the hell are there so many fanatics butchering people left, right, and centre?? Because if your god/s have told you not to murder people and you go around not only killing people by the hundreds and thousands, but claiming you're doing so in his/her/their name, I would hazard a guess that they will be pretty pissed off with you when it comes to your turn to face them.

So how about this for a radical idea?? Stop bloody well killing people.

I look at what's happening in Gaza, and Nigeria, and Syria, and Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and Iraq (in the mess we left behind us), and a dozen more countries across the world, not to mention the hate being spewed by religious fanatics in the USA (and over here) and all I can think of is that JoDee Messina song.

How did something which is supposed to bring peace, and love, and joy into people's lives get so twisted??

On a lighter note...

Snow got a new toy. I brought home a piece of uPVC waste-pipe from work (with permission). It's the fairly wide sort that fits toilets. It unused of course. It's a left over piece from some installations and it's too short to be of any use. But it's perfect for a little ferrety ferret to run through.

I cut a hole in it about halfway along. Now she can run right through and pop out of the end, or she can stop halfway and pop her head out through the hole. Looking remarkably like a meercat when she does... I've been trying to get pics of her - but she's so damn' quick - and so unpredictable - that all I have are a few dozen shots of empty pipe, or her rear end as she spins around and runs through again.

Hours of fun for her. A period of standing in the pouring rain for me...

Well, that's it for this week. Stay safe. Goodnight and may your God/s go with you.
