The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)

Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

I suppose that is a kind of balance, and it is not wrong to balance good with bad. It just seems a shame to have done it so soon.

Let JFR be proud of his country. It's a small one, in a situation that is impossible to resolve, caused by people other than him. In the midst of all the crap some good is done. That is surely worth something?
