August 05, 2010 Thursday

Completed in the ruminations blog: "With the Cross of Jesus, Marching as Before!"  It's a terrible thing when religious persons of one persuasion are so convinced their religious tradition embodies the Truth and any other religious tradition is False, such that persons of other traditions must be converted or risk serious repercussions upon them, because of their lingering faith!  (We see it as the United States attempts to impose its sense of morality upon the Chinese and upon the entire Islamic world--in a Spirit I think is that of the Medieval Crusades.)

Studies in Interplay: writing up the dynamic relations I've noted between the Turkish government and the Turkish military over many centuries.  Of course, I can only write my impressions of this interplay, which may indeed be fanciful.  I thought of making a WHACK-O theory entry of this interplay as I envision it, but there are structural relationships I think apply; and so I retain the item as research even if it be research into the fanciful and conjectural!
