So, yesterday my Steelers, Bucaneers, and Seattle Storm all lost. But at least so did the Seahawks! It was fun to watch the Huskies bear USC on Saturday!
I read today that Jaycee Dugard and her kids got their pets back. I'm really glad they did. I know how much comfort, love, and joy I get from my Pip on a good day. It's hard to imagine everything those kids have been thru, so I know that the animals will be a much needed safe outlet for them.
I guess it's official. According to Google, the Beatles are more popular than Jesus. I also just read an article from England. A couple that owns a hotel are facing criminal charges and have had to put the hotel up for sale. Apparently, a few months ago the owners got into a "heated" discussion with a guest who was wearing a Muslim head dress. According to the allegations, the owners told the patron that Mohammad is a warlord and that the headdress is a form of bondage. I do believe in freedom of religion. But I also admit that I have some prejudices where the Muslim religion is concerned. Or perhaps more accurately, I have some problem with any religion that advocates that infidels must die. I suppose I draw the line at religious freedom if it endangers some one's life. I haven't figured out a way in myself to lessen my feelings of discomfort when the Muslim religion is discussed. I know that there are zealots in any religion. Look at what Hitler did. Or the right to lifers that kill in the name of their God. I know rationally in my head that it's the same thing. But I can't deny that the Muslim religion stirs up a lot more fear in me personally than other religions.
