Opinions

Editorial: Bush, Bin Laden Godfearing and Bloody

Every day you go through life thinking you're accomplishing this or that, effecting change, making yourself and your will felt upon the world, you are actually the one being done.  The world is an empire, and all the dark and bright matter-energy out there twangs your superstrings (not to mention whatever chains deities are yanking), and plays you like recorded whale-wailing at an endangered species benefit.

  You can even see yourself as God’s puppet, and make it out to be an obdurate virtue, with you the hard hammer of manifest destiny. Supreme examples of this are Osama bin Laden and George Bush:  both men claim to be fervently faithful, each to his own God.  And both humbly believe they’re doing what God wants, because frankly, if they don't, God would smite them mightily. Not only them personally, but the millions of poor souls they rally.
