Has the ensuing commentary for the Boston bombings caused you to scratch your haid too?!?

When our world’s dissidents are runnin’ rampant,

and we’re overrun with glibly opinin’ upstarts,

it’s sad the more articulate among us

are so smart their brain-to-lip drowns out their hearts!

Update:

Hey Ralph...do understand that tendency. Personally, I cope by facin' it down with prayer! But the does entail facin' it!

Agreed Thomas...Lord but this is the land of the sound-bite! But I was referrin' to a Penn Jillette post on FACEBOOK! God bless you as well, bro!

Hey Dave. And to me, it all just feels TOO...

IT IS a sad commentary that they are OUR representatives, too true "C"!

BF...sometimes light, specifically in this context, is a welcome relief. There's an enormous difference IMHO between comic relief...even as a defense mechanism...and humor meant to diminish the subject!

Carolyn...how about:

How do you adapt?

Live Life...Go On...

bare your soul!

TBO...that is, in fact, my ultimate answer, but in trust vice despair!

Ah Gem...and I say again YOU ARE...my prayer circle, to whom I sent the first prayer request for the Boston Victims/Families right after getting home after first hearing on way home...and then, first, praying with my family...inclu

Update 2:

includes a girlfriend from Boston area, who knows the family of the 8yo boy, and trust me, love...havin' accurate details is not much better! Suffice it to say they'll be needin' prayers well into the near future...BUT...NOT the boy. He was 8, well younger than could require any work toward his salvation. My heart breaks for those who will shed the Selfish Tears I often write about in my bereavement ministry...like the sister who lost a foot...or their mom who is still just hangin' on!

    I tune in to the stories of heroism, compassion, sacrifice, love shown and shared among strangers.

    The stuff you mention in your write, I turn a deaf ear to.

    Just how I cope, man. I know it's there, I don't have to listen to it.

    Do human beings fairly think of that N.Korea brought about the Boston bombings? Nope NO way THIS develop into A fake FLAG experience regrettably talking, the yankee human beings will have self assurance something this government tells them, as long as that entitlement verify arrived 's on time each month... that's offered and paid for loyalty.... I strongly have self assurance that the U. S. gov develop into at the back of those bombings as a results of timing of this enormous terrorist experience develop into in basic terms a tad bit to tempting too waste... Boston marathons terror attack. super friction has now occurred between gun vendors and this insane lawless all powerful authoritarian government that took earnings of the Sandy Hook college shootings with the at the back of closed doorways passage of a few stricter unfair to regulation-abiding gun vendors nanny state orchestrated regulations...

    Way too much misinformation goes out and then is refuted.My neighbor,an ex bomb squad dude from Miami thinks terrorists whether here or foreign,but says almost all are linked somehow to terrorists overseas.That 8 year old happy faced boy who was killed just breaks my heart.

    The classic that within 24 hours some congressman from Iowa made a reference to stronger immigration laws! lol News pundits sell their mouths, networks sell advertising. I hate to get into a philosophical discussion about what it says about us!

    Not meaning to make light of such an abominable act, I paused at your apt usage of "brain-to-lip" and thought of how close it sounds to "brain tulip" which might (imo) be equally effective.

    Ray

    With the exception of about 10 minutes, I have stayed

    away from it Ray. This will get over-saturated and soon

    forgotten. I am not even sure they will find the perpetrators.
