Dick Cavett on opposition to the so-called “Ground Zero mosque”:
Our goal in at least one of our Middle East wars is to rebuild a government in our own image — with democracy for all. Instead, we are rebuilding ourselves in the image of those who detest us. I hate to see my country — and it’s a hell of a good one — endorse what we purport to hate, besmirching what distinguishes us from countries where persecution rules.

An excellent piece of writing. (I chose the same quote to post on Facebook.)
As my son would say, “Cool.” :)
Referencing the post immediately before this one: wouldn't it be nice to have Mr. Rogers and Peter Jennings back for a day (just in case the screamers might listen)?
As much as I’d like to, I can’t imagine it. We seem to be in a world in which truth stands free of any relation to facts.
