THAT Global Village
17th November 2015
Sarah Hoyt lays out some inconvenient truth.
When I woke up this morning we were snowed in, and we still are. Which makes me feel like I should crawl back between the covers.
This is too bad, because I need to speak to several things that are alien to native-born Americans. These include how the rest of the world works, how a religious mono-culture works, that yes, most Muslims are not actually insane terrorists BUT that doesn’t mean they don’t support the insane terrorists even as they recoil from the things they do and in the cool light of day think they are farkin insane.
It is important to explain this, because the US is so large and has been in peace and prosperity so long that the arguments that broke up all over facebook were like watching two people discuss whether the greatest danger to the Titanic was bad soup or a measles epidemic, even while the iceberg tore the ship apart.
