If, for the sake of argument, 1 million are violent, that's a mere .000625 percent of them. I wonder who among you wants to be judged on such a tiny minority. Further, at 1.6 billion, if all Muslims - or even most Muslims - were violent, the world would already be in flames. Most people simply want to live their lives in peace, with some degree of material comfort. I find it bizarre - and disturbing - that so many Americans imagine that being a Muslim somehow trumps human nature and makes ordinary simple people want to rise up and kill everyone. That takes a special kind of stupid.","author":"Dave Champion","tags":["death","hatred","islam","killing","material-comfort","minority","muslim","religion","stupidity","violence"],"id":8806,"author_id":"Dave+Champion"},{"text":"She had golden blazing sun kissed hair, which hung down in loose, lazy spirals, a heart shaped pouted mouth, which was pink tinged with violet blushing, wide, spangled blue eyes that glimmered sparks to flicker and ember in the vivid intelligence of the moon’s love, and a yielding body, that seem to tangle in loose rhythm as I walked near to her.","author":"Keira D.

Close (to a lion) on foot ... Would mean the sudden shattering of any kindly belief that the similarity of the lion and the pussy cat goes much beyond their whiskers.
