Well, you can build up, but the islamics will always destroy.

NOw, you know why India is in the state it's in. The Hindu will build up with his own hands - hands on - NOT machinery - and the islamics will take exception to whatever it is - and come along and bring it down.

India is NOT poor for nothing. It's 50% islamic - 50% hindu. Not to mention the present government is leaning over to defend the rights of the islamics there. Why, it's evern throwing out religious rebels like Taslima Nasreen.

Talk about picking on little defenseless women!

When possible, pick on someone that can't defend themselves,that way, they won't have to fight against men.

Definition of a "luxury hotel" in a moslem country - They have soap and toilet paper.

Gramfan, a member of our blog team in Australia, lets us know that there is more to the story than this:

It turns out that Australia's embassy was located in the hotel.

Wow.

Ayn Rand at 100: "Yours is the Glory"

  • Aynrandstamp_1

  • Speaking to the unnamed, unchampioned, beating heart of her new land, Ayn was to say: 'Yours is the glory.'"
    A man whose ability and independence leads others to reject him, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values. Man as an individual, as a creator. What's the most depraved type of human being? Not a sadist or a murderer or a sex maniac or a dictator; "The man without a purpose." Yet most people seem to go through their lives without a clearly defined purpose.

  • Life has Loveliness to sell,
    All beautiful and splendid things,
    Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
    Soaring fires that sways and swing,
    And children's faces looking up,
    Holding wonder like a cup

    Life has Loveliness to sell,
    Music like a curve of Gold,
    Scent of pinetrees in the rain,
    Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
    And for your spirit's still delight,
    Holy stars that star the night.

    Spend all you have for loveliness,
    Buy it and never count the cost;
    For one white singing hour of Peace
    Count many a year of strife well lost
    And for a breath of ecstasy
    Give all you have been, or could be.
