It was the teachers in school who would occasionally remind us of Communism or the threat of war from some future agressor and they even mentioned that the end of the world would someday come. Always optimistic, I never dreamed that any of that would come in my life time. Each time I put these things out of mind they were somehow re-inforced by that occasional reminder from Sister Mary Somebody...each grade had a new Sister Mary Somebody...Angelita, Domitilla, Bridgetta, Faber; all Sister Marys warning us of our impending doom. Well many years have come and gone and Sister Mary Somebody has re-emerged only the gender has changed. Shall we say Sister has been replaced by Brother; Brother Roger! Only now I'm not so optimistic. Those days may soon be upon us; in my life time and yours.<BR/><BR/>Good post...and keep giving us those occassional reminders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-25734002320056430212008-08-23T20:49:00.000-07:002008-08-23T20:49:00.000-07:00The Mahdi is the reason why MAD doesn't work with ...The Mahdi is the reason why MAD doesn't work with Iran. The Mullahs actually believe that he will return. They are counting on his return to save their backsides from destruction.<BR/><BR/>This is another example of how Islam keeps people in ignorance. Children act like they do, believe like they do. Adults accept the responsibility of their actions and deeds. They do not expect miracles to help them. They do not expect the calvary to come riding over the hill to save them. They plan for what their actions and words will bring.Findalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881549378886491540noreply@blogger.com
