Wonderland
Aussie Dave | Aug 18, 2006 | 3 comments
Yesterday, we spent the day at Disneyland, as you do when you are visiting California. After spending the first 4 hours accompanying my kids on such rides as Alice in Wonderland, and Pinnochio, I was able to graduate to the roller coasters later on in the day. For what it’s worth, my favorites were Space Mountain and Indiana Jones.
But you know me. I don’t just post such things, even when I am operating on “fluffy” mode. I had a blogworthy experience. There we were, waiting in line for Alice in Wonderland, when I noticed the women in front of us speaking in a mixture of English and Arabic. Nothing particularly interesting or unusual about that, except for the fact that we heard them talking about going back to Lebanon.
Was there cosmic significance to the fact that we were next to some Lebanese women, waiting to enter Wonderland? Or am I just grasping at straws to find something to blog about? At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter.

cosmic significance
The cosmic significance is that normal, healthy people want their lives to be more like America (you can make your own assessment of Disney and all the crass commercialism that is also America), not Iran. This has been my experience in travelling to many countries. In other words, there are likely to be lots of Muslims who don’t want to torch America, Israel, or anyone else, even if the Koran gives the Islamic Fascists all the cover they need to be that way.
Somehow (I have no idea how to do this), we must separate the healthy Muslims from the Fascists. Then we will have a possibility of peace.
I was at Disneyland on Friday too! I wish I had known you were going to be there and I would have tried to meet up with you (I am now back in Michigan). Hope you have a safe trip home and please do another podcast ASAP! I miss them.
