"may ruin overtake them by surprise--may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin." I think that's from the book of Psalms. Chapter 35 or thereabouts. (One of my religious friends might want to confirm that for me.) In the song "Rat Race", Bob Marley sang about meeting up with a sudden destruction when you thought you were safe. I bet Bob got some of his lyrics from the book of Psalms in the Bible. The Rastafarian loves to quote from the book of Psalms. But I digress.
So anyway, the people of Japan are probably feeling like that scripture from the good book was meant for them right about now. It is now believed that over 10,000.00 people are dead and we still have a very serious nuclear threat on our hands. (Yes, our, as in all of us.) I think "Mother Nature" made her point: Don't *&^% with me! OK, but what are we supposed to do? It's not like we have anywhere else to go. Honestly, if you ask me; I think "Mother Nature" is a terrorist. She killed over 300,000 in Haiti a little over a year ago, and now this. The thing is, though, I am not too sure of her political leanings, or her agenda. If she does have one, I hope that I am on her side. This sudden destruction stuff is not cool.
Finally, speaking of terrorist, I see that we are still rounding up terrorist here in A-merry-ca who would do harm to our government and government officials. I am so glad for those Muslim hearings with Peter King. I think they might have actually done some good.
"Several members of a separatist Alaska militia have been arrested in an alleged plot to kidnap and kill judges and state troopers. Now the political associations of the group’s leader are coming to light ...Cox, 26, is a self-described “sovereign citizen” – whose adherents believe they are not subject to laws they do not wish to obey, and that judges, juries and police have no authority over them. Militia groups like Cox’s are said to draw inspiration from the Turner Diaries, which also influenced Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. The prior warrant charged that Cox failed to notify police that he had a concealed weapon when they responded to his home.

Cox and his associates had developed an extensive plan to launch their attacks, the troopers said in a statement.
They had already conducted extensive surveillance on Fairbanks-area troopers, locating the homes of two troopers, and acquired a large cache of weapons, some of them illegal, according to the statement.
According to prosecutors, the weapons amassed by the group included machine guns, multiple assault rifles, multiple pineapple grenades, at least one grenade launcher, dozens of high-powered rifles and pistols and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
The five are charged with conspiring to commit murder, kidnapping and arson, weapons misconduct, hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence, the troopers said. They were arrested late on Thursday without incident, the troopers said .." [Full story]
Oh wait, my bad, these weren't Muslims, they were wingnut separatist. No sudden destruction to fear from these guys, (Would a bullet from a sniper be considered sudden?) they are on our side.
Carry on.
