Eschaton- tremblings of a groundswell So a bunch of the chorus over on the right thought they had another example of our enemy as a godless, heathen murderer. Unfortunately, it was just another case of plain ol' American robbery/murder. An Egyptian Coptic Christian family in N. J. was killed by their upstairs neighbor.

When the pajama clad army of the right finally catches their breath from yelling about/at MSM, they might come to realize that a social institution, such as the news business in this country, evolves over time under the influence of a great many factors. They are economic as well as social and political. It will have contradicting normative and pragmatic standards of values.

An upstart from that same society will find itself imbued with many of the same traits as the institution it hopes to overturn (that's right- admit it!).

When the bloggers swarm on something like these Coptic Christian martyrs to stupidity, they've got that same ol' MSM "pressure to publish/broadcast, etc.". Guys (that includes you Ann), hits transfer into ego points and dollars. And that's what drives the same ol' thing in new clothing.  ¶ 3/05/2005 02:39:00 PM
