sometimes God hides....

It disturbs me no more to find men base, unjust, or selfish than to see apes mischievous, wolves savage, or the vulture ravenous.
Jean-Paul Sartre


The gremlins between my ears are twisting unnaturally this morning. Perhaps it's the dawn of a new year, I'm not sure. We reached a turning point in 2006, however instead of taking the turn we needed to take, we seem to have stalled, pondering our choices.

The inhumanity we're capable of was proudly on display throughout 2006, right up until friday evening when a man's neck was snapped while people danced a little jig next to his twisting corpse. These are the people who were liberated, these inhuman souls, who mocked a man whose neck was breaking in front of them.

Watching the feeds this morning burn across the wires, a jet is missing in the south pacific, a football player has been shot and killed. Ah, the year is off to a good start.
