nedhepburn:

It’s a very American thing, is driving. In other countries, I’ve noticed, people seem to think about it as a means to an end: just a thing to get you from one place to another, which I suppose, to be blunt, is all driving every really is.

Americans treat their cars like they did their horses in the 1800’s, like “trusted steed” and all that crap. You treat them like an extension of yourself. People become attached to their cars the way they would a beloved pet; even when, say, your Nissan is acting up, you still talk to it to try and make it work. Or yell at it. A drive can be cleansing; traveling, itself, is a master cleanse.

There’s something to be said, though, about controlling the rush through space between the place you left and the place you’re going to. You become nothing if only the static between point a and point b. It begs the ultimate question: how much of life is ultimately spent thinking about the destination, the end product, and not entirely about the actuality of the journey itself? Who are you, truly, when there’s nobody around and all you have is the road ahead of you and the road behind you?

the journey is the reward

Fact that Jones has more people at his press conf. than in his pew on Sunday is illuminating, Gibbs says. Says he’s “desperate” - West Wing Report

How is this guy not considered an American Terrorist?

I’m sorry, IS THERE NOTHING IN THE PATRIOT ACT that allows cops/FBI/what-have-you to get to this guys place and MAKE SURE that he doesn’t do this? I mean, wasn’t the First Amendment ripped asunder by the Patriot Act for moments JUST LIKE THIS? How does this situation NOT fit in the “protecting citizens here and abroad” reason we even have the Patriot Act? Or was that never the intention?

Our Constitution allows him to do this and says he has a right to do it.

The damage has been done, he should be allowed to follow though with his protected speech no mater how much we oppose it. It is his right as an American.

Should we send bibles to the Taliban for them to burn? I guess if we did the radical Christians would want to come and kill us…

Wearing pistols on their hips they say that they need to send a message to radical Muslims. I guess that makes them the opposite number, the radical Christians. It saddens me that these people call themselves Americans…

“What I will tell you is that their very actions will in fact jeopardize the safety of the young men and women who are serving in uniform over here and also undermine the very mission that we’re trying to accomplish. I would hope they would understand that there are second- and third-order effects that will occur that will affect that young man and woman who’s out there on point for America, serving their nation today, because of their actions back in the United States.”

The Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, plans to mark the ninth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington by burning copies of the Muslim holy book. (The Quran)
