[Vision2020] Posturing Ennui: Deja Vu All Over Again

[keely emerinemix]

I would add that when said hairdresser or grocer takes on the mantle of "pastor" and then teaches that public, active affirmation of evils such as the death march and Hiroshima are intrinsically and fundamentally linked to my religion, I would not only disavow their statements but object, and object strenuously, to that and any other perversion of the faith I live for.  

It only takes a few bad men to convince thousands of people that applauding historic evil is a righteous and faithful thing to do.  This woman, though, will fight them 'til the day she dies.

Paul Rumelhart inquires:
"Do people here know or care what their grocer thinks about the Bataan Death March?  Or what their hair stylist thinks about Nagasaki or Hiroshima?"
Not if they limited expressing their beliefs to the confines of the grocery store or hair salon, Mr. Rumelhart.
But, when these "beliefs" are expressed as fact from the pulpit by a self-ordained pastor or within a classroom by an instructor, it matters VERY MUCH.
Or have you forgotten about the tirades over local professors simply because they are liberal?
