Today I read a report that the terrorists that had kidnapped Ronald Schulz had killed him and it suddenly occurred to me that one of the hallmarks of a righteous cause is that it will not force an unwilling sacrifice. The cowardly murderers posing as insurgents have caused that another man should sacrifice for their cause and this makes their cause no cause at all but bloody and tragic stupidity.

What else is there today, after that? I noted to myself that yesterday was the anniversary of Pearl Harbor day. No one really mentioned to me.

Ronald Schulz was a Marine.

Although as yet unverifiable, after reading of death, much of anything else I could write would be very trivial.
