Just when did the world go crazy, and when did you realize that it had?

I remember my grandparents walking around bitching about how the whole world was going to hell. Yah, and I rolled my eyes back and grumbled about how the old farts didn't like the way things appeared to be going. Well, here I am and here I go.

A few weeks ago I started hearing about how some Muslims wanted in NYC wanted to build a mosque two blocks away from Ground Zero. Being that the USA is supposed to be a free country, the question is, do they have the right to build there. The answer is, yes, they do have the right. Is it the right thing to do, no, it's incredibly wrong and it is also unbelievably insensitive. It should be an insult to all Americans whether they be Christian, Jew, Wicka or even Muslim.

Next to further escalate the madness, some asshole in Florida, who calls himself a man of God, threatens to burn Korans. That's real bright. If you don't stop talking about building your mosque near Ground Zero, I'm going to start burning your holy books. If you ever spent over over five minutes on a school playground during recess, you probably know the the probability of success of that particular tactic. Once again. In our fair country does Reverend Buba have the right? In case you dozed off recently the answer is yes. This charlatan does, as an American, indeed have the right. Once again, though he has the right, it is not the right thing to do. It is also incredibility insensitive and no way to get the opposition to back down. Should there be a knock on his door at two o'clock in the morning like in Nazi Germany and have the boy "go to camp". I think maybe so.

Now we have some other hugely mis-guided folks who want to exercise their constitutional rights by displaying signs at military funerals citing that the newly deceased had it coming because of our, by their opinion, tolerance to homosexuality. IE that there are gays in the military. By now, we don't have to repeat the mantra of whether they have the right etc. etc. and whether it is the right thing to do.

I have a pragmatic solution here. It is so logical that I wonder why it hasn't been implemented by now.

Issue the Marine Honor Guard live ammo. Instead of shooting the 21 salute up in the air, yup blow those morons away. Preferably right into the fallen Soldier, or Marine, or Sailor, or Airman's grave and fill it in.

Damn, if I were King, the world would be a much better place to live.
