Hello world,
welcome to my 1st blog!
Today -- I cycled 2 x 22 km on the mountain bike across national roads to Bornbruch lake south of Frankfurt (N49.970021 E8.596652) + had a little tanni + swimmi-swimmi on the very last summer day.
Then rode into downtown Frankfurt on the Yamaha, had "Pollo Italiano" at Cafe Bar Celona.
News headline is "pope insults the prophet".
Ali Bardakoglu on http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,437396,00.html (translated): "Moslems have to learn to express their reactions reasonably, to think and to act rationally. In principle, emotional and violent reactions are wrong. Violence has to be replaced by the word." (Die Muslime müssen lernen, ihre Reaktionen vernünftig auszudrücken, rational zu denken und zu handeln. Emotionale und gewalttätige Reaktionen sind grundsätzlich falsch. Die Gewalt muss durch das Wort ersetzt werden.)
I wish to believe in the freedom of press and in creative disrespect, based on rationality, as well as a scientific, documented approach in resolving issues.
It might however be that indoctrination, mysticism + hate against people + societies outside one own's overseeable environment is plainly stronger -- purely because it is a simpler concept -- less rational, more physical + biological.
Good night!
Klaus
