Kris,
Bull-roar.
And may it always be so.
"Die" is not up to mere mortals. Unless they are Suicidal. And then it is
ill-advised.
Martyrs may jump off any cliff, however, but be sure to take no others with.
Except the cliff. To the bottom. And beyond. If there be any beyond.
I suspect the beyond is the preceding: one must start ALL over again.
Poetic license, some say. I call it Poetic Justice. No rhyme nor reason,
though; don't look too closely. I'm not friendly to maniacs.
Jihad in oneself is one thing, but killing outside is not what even the
Camel-thief "prophet" could support while alive, I hope. I am being generous.
But that's what counts, if it is true. Yes? He would not kill? No: he would
kill. See the Book. Icch. Wild idea.
I'd like to arm-wrestle with that "Mohammed", one day. Kick his butt-i-cuss.
For fun! Show him that camel-thieving is not everything. He'd get it, before
I was done with him. We'd have his sworn conversion statement to Ch'an
Buddhism. Or Quakerism. He'd give up camel pelts.
World history could have been different if I had been a *lot* older!
Still, it's not too soon.
