Secularism

The Islamic terrorists often are men who has no job, no future ... cannot read nor write. Cannot vote. They have nothing to lose, but we have so much to lose. So they decided to target us. Fair trade-off, would you say, Ben? That is how it works in this world -- that's why they crashed the planes into Pentagon and World Trade Center. It is because they knew they had nothing to lose, but we have so much to lose.

I saw a quote where one gal said, "Time changed, you either get used to it or get swept away."

In this country, we have our own terrorists as well. Look at Tim McVeigh. But we were civilized enough to prosecute him with justice retribution. How? Secularism. By being moderate about everything else. How did we get this country to be secular? Educational system, really.

Many Islamic countries lacked that. It just falls straight into the extremists' views from day one. We need an alternative route for these people. To show them that there is a way out.

But with American's help of cash and guns, the kingdoms are ignoring the masses' pleas for reforms.

So we cannot blame the terrorists for doing this to us -- we have so much to lose.

Classic Sitcoms

My favorite sitcoms of all time are:

Golden Girls -- These four gals has lines that shall endure for 50 years. The pause after the punch-line for us to laugh heartily then resume watching is priceless.

Designing Women -- These four gals are awesome. I loved their punch lines. Julia once spoke something, "In the North, they hide their lunatic siblings, but here, we put them in the front for the world to see."

Married with Children -- Who cannot resist the lovable Bundy family?

The Jeffersons -- Who love Weezie? I do. And their maid. And the obnoxious but lovable Mr. Jefferson!

Anyone care to add?

The current sitcoms that I think has a potential to go 50 years and still be funny:

The Simpsons, Futurama, King of the Hill and Malcolm In The Middle.

One show that seems to be promising: Father of the Pride

One show that will never be a classic: Cosby Show -- it is too cheesy.

One show that could be a classic if not for its last year's edition: Roseanne -- but you must admit that the finale of the show was a stunning one.

What do you think?

I Felt Bad For Him!

This occured during Deaf Way II Conference in Washington, DC two years ago. After the hectic moments in the massive lobby of Deaf Way II Conference, I plopped on a couch by the window, I get to enjoy the traffic and thousands of deaf people mingling. It was a spectacular scene to behold.

Suddenly, I saw Shannon standing few yards away from me. Shannon is a dear friend of mine who stood about 5'2 tall. Somehow, I looked around and saw a little boy wandering away from his parents who were talking to someone else. Right behind the little boy was a guy of taller height ... maybe 6'2 or so, the taller guy waved to get Shannon's attention.

Shannon turned to see this taller guy and shrieked. Apparently, she hadn't seen the taller guy in a long time. Suddenly, I noticed that the little boy was startled by her shriek and assumed that it was directed at him. Shannon then walked towards the taller guy who were also walking towards her. In the middle of the path was a little boy who thought Shannon was going to hug him.

The little boy then slammed into Shannon to hug her, as the taller guy crashed into Shannon to hug -- suddenly, Shannon was confused and shoved the little boy off and hugged the taller guy. The little boy was bewildered and confused -- then his parents ran to him and told him, "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT? DO YOU THINK SHE KNEW WHO YOU ARE? STOP ACTING LIKE YOU KNEW EVERYONE ELSE!"

I felt bad for him.

I never forgot that episode -- I really felt for him. He probably was traumatized.

An Idea

Unlike Amy, I will not stereotype one group with the other (I won't? Hahaha! Only few ones I shall stereotype -- like hearies!). If people violated the decency of human beings such as the terrorists did. I wonder what the governments do with their bodies? I mean, these who bombed themselves on a purpose to kill? These suicide bombers? These so-called bad guys ... whatever happened to their bodies?

I think we could do something to spread the message -- that we tossed their bodies into a garbage dump. Publicize it. I think many people would realize that it is not something they wanted to do. Not bad idea, eh?

God Bless PBS!

It is no secret that I love PBS. Last Saturday evening, I was bored and watched the documentary show about the Russian community that handles the missile controls. Basically, it is the place where some soldiers shunned the Russian society for the life on a base with a life-long service to the Motherland by protecting and serving the missile controls. They will fire the missiles at will with no thoughts if ordered by the Russian President.

One lieutenant indicated that women are forbidden in the control room, mainly because women are programmed to be peacemakers, men are programmed to engage in wars ... he smiled then uttered, "except that Russian women are tough." He had a sexy, wicked grin. Made me smile, though.

Charley, Frances and ... Ivan?

I am assuming that the weather is on our side against the Republicans. More and more hurricanes are hitting Florida until the residents decided that hurricanes are terrorists and that Bush did not do anything to protect them from these crazed-radical storms from bulldozing their state repeatedly, they will come to their senses and punch their ballots for John Kerry.

Only time will tell.

But I have a strong suspicion that President Bush already captured Osama bin Laden but is being secretive until late October in time for a surprise to wreck the election in his favor.

Don't look at me if I'm right, honey.
