Seeing Red, Contemplating Cabbages and Kings

Today was an incredibly busy day and blogging has had to be put on a back burner while I attended to more pressing matters.

It certainly isn't that there is a shortage of things about which I should be blogging. In the few moments that I had to spare, there were matters about which I wanted to blog. One such matter was this:

Netherlands Hospital Euthanizes Babies

There are times when the barbarity, cruelty, stupidity and insanity of the human race fills me with such horror that I would gladly not be part of it.

Through a miasma of revulsion and disgust that had me seeing red, I thought it best if I not blog on that until I have had the opportunity to focus and allow the heat of rage to became icily cold and effective. In the meantime, I'll leave these words for you to ponder:

"Then said he unto the discliples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones."

Turning to other matters, I have been contemplating various things, from "sailing ships and sealing wax" to "cabbages and kings." At one point, I almost dove into the current topic making the rounds of the blogsphere concerning which books people have read more than once. I'm still ruminating and cogitating on that one. I think if I take the bait, my post will more probably be about books I have read which deserve to be read by others at least once.

If you were wondering why the posting was slight today, you've been told and NOW YOU KNOW.
