The Zen and. . . quote feels like it touches on a dilemma I'm facing with my research/writing: What's more important to human quality of life, emotionally, physically and spiritually - power (used for good or evil) or a sense of belonging (to a community, race, culture, nation, faith, species, biological kingdom, etc. etc.)? Then, once I've got an answer to that question, why or what proof can I find?
I should probably ruminate about it on my own blog.
That quote's straight-up bullshit, man. The doubt isn't (necessarily) in the fanatic, it's in OTHER PEOPLE. You'd be fanatically shouting that the sun would rise tomorrow if I was insistent that it wasn't.
The World's Spookiest Weapons link leads...right back here! Is kisrael.com a weapon?
Jeremy, you might be right.
But there is still some idea of what everyone does agree on-- stuff you might not even realize what you're soaking in.
Bill, I said it was a hectic day :-) (Funny what putting two double quotes rather than will do to your link tag)
