This is how it all started...........

This is how it all started a couple of weeks ago. I am not sure that posterity will note this in the annals of the most important things that have happened to human beings, but....................................

My daughter Katie (getting her Ph.D. at Wayne State) e-mailed me with this comment Subject: Finally!!!
Finally someone has brought this up!! It took a woman to have enough balls to stand up and say that this is stupid - who freakin' cares if Obama WERE Muslim! I'm so sick of Christians acting like they own this country!
Make sure you click on the link to her actual commentary within the article ('Watch Campell's Commentary'). Also, I would like to point out that these Christians don't even think about the fact that there have been people from their own religion who have done 'terrorist-like' acts - people standing outside of abortion clinics and killing women, for instance! Why are people thinking that just because some people who claimed to be Muslim (I say claimed because people of Muslim faith will note that the people who did this were not acting in a Muslim way) and attached on 9/11- we think that every Muslim is a terrorist! I'm just so sick of ignorant people.

Then, I e-mailed back to her my response....."Right on, Katie. There are also radical Christians in this country who claim that they can see Russia from Alaska, who think that Canada is a suspicious foreign nation, who think that they must be purged to keep the 'witches' away, and who incite hatred and violence in the name of the Lord (Christian Lord of course). I might remind those people that it was the 'good Christian nation of Germany' who initiated the holocaust! Now tell me that a radical Christian is somehow better than a radical jihadist! You're right----------FINALLY!!!!! I AM SO PROUD THAT I RAISED A THINKING PERSON!!!

Then Katie e-mailed her cousin Missy (getting her Ph.D. at Auburn University) and Missy wrote me saying "Do it aunt Jane! Start a blog. I would definately subscribe to it...ahh the wise women in our family;)

So you see, it was definitely a family project. I am not sure about the 'wise women in our family' part, but what the heck!
