Light blogging

Between the blackouts destroying posts two seconds before I was done to the 90 degree heat making it impossible to think, posting has been light.

However, LINK and LINK2 makes one realize that there is something very wrong with a religion of peace, or at least with some of it's leaders who prefer the letter of the law to the humility of finding the mercy of God.
However if you want to know why people quietly follow the Lord under the guidance of the Koran, read HERE.

And IraqtheModel questions why those who want to end the war don't bother to ask this of those who are actually killing civilians?

And the latest save the earth suggestion: only use one sheet of toilet paper.
Presumably if you don't the religious police who monitor bathrooms will come and arrest you, with a paper warning for the first offense, fines for the second, and jail time if you really overdo it and use a dozen sheets and clog the drain.

Yes I'm being sarcastic, but I find the smoking police and the green police who monitor your trash are just as bad as the religious police who measure your hemline.

Of course, here in the Philippines, we have the opposite problem: Trying to get the local vendors from dropping their trash off across the street and trying to get the city to pick up the trash.

It's election year, so usually the politicians clean the place up for a month or two before elections, but not so far this year. Maybe their heard some of our relatives are not backing the mayor...
