In one of the e-mail discussion groups I used to subscribe to, an Israeli doctor came on board briefly and wrote about some tiny sea creature who was born with a brain and one big eye. When it was born it drifted around with it's movements dictated by the currents of the oceans until by some genetic design it found a rock or a reef to permanently attach itself to in order to feed off the creatures that were brought to it by those same tidal currents. As soon as it attached, it ate it's own brain because it didn't need it any more. Do you reckon this medical doctor was intuitively referencing the nomadic tribes of Israel?
I wrote the paragraph above as a response to a Comments discussion on what is apparently and openly a blog designed for Jews that will remain un-nay-me-d. I got there by clicking to 'Read more' while surfing through Google News. Once I read their irresolute crap, I offered my own sarcastic comment to the referenced article, and suggested that the solution for the problem being discussed could be resolved by burning the Torah along with the Koran like that preacher did in down Florida. That lit a little fire under the blog's readers.
The reason I was able to do that was because of this company that contracts to handle the Comments section of a growing number of web sites. This company calls itself Disqus.com (discuss, get it?). They handle the Comments section of the Engadget web site, and to make a comment on an article on Engadget, I was required to sign up with Disqus with a name and an e-mail address only.
From then on, whenever I read some article on a site whose Comments were handled by Disqus, I found myself already signed in with the handle I supplied Disqus, and ready to comment away. Lovely. How could I resist making snide and clever comments on subjects and topics I hadn't the slightest interest in?
That seems to be how this Muslim guy was the first person to respond to my comment on this Jewish blog, and he belligerently suggested I include the New Testament propaganda of the Crusaders. I wrote back and agreed all the holy books should be burned. With my new question being: How the hell did he get to Comment on a Jewish site? I went to Disqus.com to read about how they handle blogger.com discussions, and it stated that for Disqus to work on a Blogger.com site, the individual blog settings had to be marked to be open to all comers. Including, it appears, dogmatic Muslims on dogmatic Jewish sites, much less Gentiles with no careactor like me. '-)
The lovely part of this arrangement is that nobody has to subscribe to a specific blog or web site with their personal information that can be traced by power users. They only have to subscribe once to Disqus, and it's free. The individual site owners can't trace you any further than Disqus to find out if they should come kill you if you're not a member of their weird tribal religion or insane political persuasion. I hope I can trust Disqus to be confidential.
Don't get your hopes up that I will sign up for Disqus on this blog. I still don't wanna entertain your dumb ass comments about my neurotic, illiterate speculations. I'm one of those amoral, unethical people who can "give it, but not take it." I am is not, however, "proud to be an Okie from Muskogee. A place where even children have a ball..."

I do not attempt to tell the God's own truth here because I don't know what the truth is or hardly ever. I try to capture the drifting thoughts that randomly appear in my imagination for reasons I may not understand. I don't know if the content I capture with these words is true or false. The Comments settings are turned off to prevent me from having to defend what amounts to little more than fanciful, sometime crude speculation. Great moments in our lives never return.
