Esclarmonde,
It pains me to have to disagree with you on a few minor points as you are such a refreshing and effervescent soul. That having been said, why are you two weighing in so heavily on Mark?
I must confess, nobody will ever convince me that abortion is not murder. Could it be that the authorities who sanction the killing of children are driving the wedge between us. Abortion is never mentioned in the scriptures because the ancients could not envision a society so evil and controlled by the anit-Christ where this would even be considered. The best way to control ones body is through the use of abstinance, self-control, birth-control and common sense. The hacking, poisoning and killing of children is not the answer. If this is the line of thinking we will always be divided, because on this, I have no compromise. It is sanctioned state killing, and in my opinion dreamed up by the people people who delight in ritual rape and murder. It is not very much different.
I think if we look in that inner mirror it is not going to tell many of us to kill children.
Mark may know a little more than some concerning who is attacking this society and Western Civilization in general. His piece of the puzzle may be a little bigger than you think it is. Every society needs its philosophers but would also be lost without its warrior class(a class I think Mark leans toward). After all the ancient Mayans bred a warrior class. Lets not fall into the well from looking at the stars a great philosopher once said.
I just suspect when they are rounding up people for the camps some of you may wish you had a Mark Seely on the block on your street.
For me personally, this column would be a much more dull place without Mark around.
Lets face it, he has the right to dislike anyone he pleases. It is not against the law, yet!!!!!!!!
