Net Neutrality--Google--Fairness Doctrine.

Hi,

I once heard (or read -- I don't remember) "The intelligence of a mob is that of its stupidest member divided by the number of people in the mob." Mob mentality scares me. It's like a shark feeding frenzy, only not as polite.

I do not care for Islam any more than than I care for any other religion. I do care for Muslims as much as I care for any other persons. You referenced Julius Caesar, let me reply with The Merchant of Venice. If you prick us, we indeed all bleed. When any organization, be that religion, political, social, etc., causes the divisions among us to appear more important than our common humanity, then that organization must be examined, fixed, or abandoned. Otherwise, "Kill then all, God will know his own" becomes our motto and may we each be protected from the other's neighbors.
