Subject: RE: BS: Unarmed soldier killed, Woolwich (London)
I did think it was you, Fred, but thanks for confirming it. Good post too on how we all should act. I was at the local park last night with the Grandkids, paddling in the pool and generally having the fun that 2 and 4 years old do :-) It was wonderful to see how all the kids accepted each other, played with each other and, apart from the odd spat of "That's MY boat!", got on so well. They were all colours and, I guess, all creeds. If only we could all keep that attitude when we grow up it would solve a lot of problems. Maybe I never grew up which is why I find it difficult to dislike people on racial or religious grounds. Don't get me wrong, I dislike a people who rub me up the wrong way (That's MY boat!) but it is never at first sight or to do with how they look, speak or think.

But if it is an Islamic terrorist that steals my boat I will say as much. Just as I would say if it was a right-wing extremist. The criminal class seems to have no boundries and will use any excuse to justify their actions. It is up to the ordinary people who they claim to support to stop them.

Cheers
