I caught some flack over criticizing the NY POST's "GOTCHA" headline, but here goes, with one of the central statements of our culture:
No Man is an Island''
No man is an island, entire of itself
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main
if a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were,
as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were
any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls
it tolls for thee.
-- John Donne
The choice is clear: you are like Zarqawi, to whom these words would mean nothing, or you align yourself with Western Civilization.
