Curiouser and curiouser...maybe there was more to what appeared an upside-down flag over the new Islamic Society of Boston Mosque than I thought previously. It was a trick of the camera-angle, but perhaps for some it was a happy coincidence. Miss Kelly has a very interesting letter from a local Muslim who's none-too-happy with the new leadership. This is a process that has occurred before elsewhere. Mosque is built by moderates who are set out front to get things rolling and earn acceptance, but they are eventually muscled out by people with another agenda who manipulate the system to their advantage: "Time to Speak About My Flag"

2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments.

Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
