Maybe the weird political theories are an attempt to fit the unknown and strange into a framework that is known. I assume that there are people who see something like this happen and feel a certain sense of security in saying 'Well, this goes back to what I always say about liberals.'Rufushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762279210783841414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10166090.post-31164144320953996722007-04-22T07:58:00.000-07:002007-04-22T07:58:00.000-07:00Oprah is one of those people who I assume will say...Oprah is one of those people who I assume will say something trite but I will never know.

I don't know where people dig this crap up from, I guess it's something that just sounds good. <BR/><BR/>Some people would prefer to believe that some deity somewhere actually pulls this kind of crap so we will all be better people for it, I guess. So if this guy was crazy, or evil, or whatever, what the hell does that make the so-called deities?<BR/><BR/>Some things happen that you just can't ascribe any kind of sensible reason or logic to, and this falls into that category. Sure, there's a reason for it, but there is nothing in the act that is reasonable or logical. Just chaos unleashed.SecondComingOfBasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336586430250490679noreply@blogger.com
