Nice hair

Posted by Hello Let it Bleed slams one out of the park on the subject of the hypocrisy of the Federal Liberals. Pierre Pettigrew famously told the Catholic church to stay out of the SSM debate and is now faced with the fact the Canadian Sikh MPs have been told that they too should vote against the bill. What is poor Pierre to do? I don't want Pettigrew to tell the Sikhs to keep quiet. No, nothing like that. I think he ought to publically apologize for letting his anti-religious bigotry get the better of him, and admit that all groups, even Catholics, have the right to speak to public issues. Heck, if he does that I might even stop making fun of his hair.

Anglicans and Catholics are getting closer to reconciling -over the role of Mary in the Christian faith. Quote: A working group c...

Ghost in the machine

In writing up this post I have to mention that I am very impressed with the quality of discussion that one finds on blogs. This truly is a remarkable medium. Thanks go to all three of the bloggers mentioned here for providing such good reading and thinking for the rest of us to try and learn from. I have not had a chance to read all of the entries linked to here, but I do intend to. ***** George Will compares two views of man in his latest column . One is novelist Ian McEwan, who places the following words into the mouth of the leading character in his latest novel, Saturday : Endless and beautiful forms of life, such as you see in a common hedgerow, including exulted beings like ourselves, arose from physical laws, from war or nature, famine and death. This is the grandeur. And a bracing kind of consolation in the brief privilege of consciousness. This character is a neurosurgeon. The quote reminds me that there may be some truth to the observation that those in the biological and...
