    life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

    Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

    "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

    John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

    "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

    Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

      Maybe it's time to wise up ourselves?
      Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

        I can tell the sniper wasn't Muslim because this is called a shooting and not a terror attack.

        It times like these I really feel bad for the families and friends of the deceased. I really hope they find the peace of heart after such a tragedy.

            I am always surprised that we have for some reason managed to edge away from the abbess over and over,while playing chicken with the full tilt Apocalypse.

              There are protests happening throughout the metro area of Minnesota where the live-streamed video of the St. Anthony (not St. Paul) shooting took place a few days ago (which allegedly fueled the shootings in Dallas the day after). They were just marching, now they're throwing rocks and bottles at anyone resembling an authority figure. Several LEO's have been hurt in the last few days.

              I could say so many things that would only come across as controversial at best here in the forum. All I feel comfortable saying is that I hope everyone stays safe and things cool down soon.

                Had to search leo's,never seen that used before. It is sad we as a country have again come to this,and repeat what we have seen and done before.

                It just seems to escalate as things keep going. I am hoping for a peaceful summer,but the heat even makes things worse.

                  In case anyone was curious about last night's events in MN. 21 police injured, 102 protestors arrested.

                  Hopefully tonight will be quieter. But I'm not holding my breath.


                  After another night of protests against the police shootings of black men, hundreds of demonstrators were either in jail or waiting to get out Sunday.
