Captain, Tom, et al,

Please pity poor Dung Jones.  In order to use the colossal screw-up at Canon
Press as an example of religious malfeasance, Jones must first recognize the
screw-up and then be a responsible enough person and in touch with reality
enough to accept his share of the blame.

In case you haven't noticed, delusional people have a hard time admitting to
such reality and responsibility.

Please also pardon me if I don't attend his oral gratification exercise:

1.    At my age I try to avoid public obscenity.

2.    Those with questionable mental health should not give lectures on naiveté.

3.    Those whose recent writings in Crudinto/Adumpsta resemble the myriad
crossing, bending, overlapping paths of hordes of frenetic earthworms after a
vigorous rain shower should avoid further public embarrassment, if not for their
sakes, then for the sakes their families and associates.

Perhaps the Middle East might be better off were it a bit more secular.  Perhaps
among the brave (or foolish) that attend Jones' oral dido, someone might raise
the Middle East secular v. non-secular issue during the question period
(assuming there is one).

PS.  Maybe the Cult Master himself will attend and present a cunning
rationalization for Patch Blakey's performance at Canon Press.

| What?!?
|
| Huh?!?
|
| No follow-up to the Dougster's "Sins of Homophobia" lecture?
|
| I guess that I will just have to wait until his next lecture, "The Wages of
| Sin: NSA on Ten Dollars a Day"
|
| Take care,
