---- When Constantine established control over Europe , he ordered to demolish all the idols temples , and replaced them with churches , he also erected crosses at most major intersections , with a statement saying ; "with the sign of the cross , you gained your freedom ." He declared Christianity as the only and official religion . The people referred to him as Constantine the great or the absolute ruler of the lands . Hmmmm... are we now comparing , juxtaposing or relating acts and attitudes of the back then and our modern times ??
---- Donald Trump , Michel Aoun , one American one Lebanese , both madly aspiring for the presidency of their countries . Both willing to go to extremes for their purposes , both millionaires in their own contexts , both extravagant and very volatile in opinions , reactions and acts . Both great profiteers of their achieved situations , both eccentric to high degrees and both not dependable for governing their respective countries and citizens .
The other funny aspect of their temporary success is that most people behind them , are amused and mostly letting out their frustrations towards the classical order of usual politics in both countries , and most will realize the absurdity , the nonsensical and change .
---- Events in the various parts of the Middle-East and the Arab world , from the openly declared war of the Israeli Jews against all Musslems and Christians in Palestine and the occupied territories , to the total transformation of the Syrian naïve revolt into an ethnic and religious conflict and massacre , the Iraqi fully declared absolute enmity between Shiia and Sunni , Arabs and Kurds . Yemen , Libya , Egypt and Sudan , all confirm the idea ; that history of the M-E and the region's societies , may be reduced to a history of religions . Not one of these peoples could escape this sad conclusion .
---- I get regularly about two dozens e-mails per day , all pertinent to political messages , petitions , some just informative and most of course begging for contributions and donations of any amount .
Half of these roughly are from the right and the ultra right , while the others represent the middle (Democrats) all the way to the newly reemerging left .
An immediate observation showing itself clearly in most if not all messages belonging to the right , contains always some naïve and dramatic warnings about doomsday events whether in money and economical total collapse , terrible health conspiracies and frightening other acts , diabolical plans of our government and leaders to end life as we know it here in America , destroy our future and bring the end of times , of course all associated with the government taking all and every piece of arms available including kitchen knives .
Now are we to assume that if and when a republican president might be elected , all these messages will suddenly and magically stop !!!!
---- How sad it is , when we observe that the stupidity that started it all , that could only been exposed and proven , might after all win by ruse , brutality , fighting and destruction .
My many thanks and appreciation for your times and help making known and spreading the blog .
