Whenever I walk in a London street

At 12:00 noon GMT this Thursday, 14th July, there will be a two minute silence. Consider it a mark of respect to the dead, the injured and all of us too. But it will also be an act of defiance. The streets, all public transport, the air around us, still ours.

"What doesn't inspire terror, by definition, isn't terrorism." PJ O'Rourke, Peace Kills

"No one ever did a cruel action simply because cruelty is wrong-only because cruelty is pleasant or useful to him."
"We have to take reality as it comes to us: there is no good jabbering about what it ought to be like or what we should have expected it to be like."
"Now, today , this moment, is our chance to choose the right side." CS Lewis, Mere Christianity

Phew! That's how I choose to vent at the end of this evening!
