In any event, laughter remains an effective tool against a self important enemy. We made fun of Adolf Hitler as we fought World War II, Osama bin Laden is no less deserving of our derision. On the practical side, converting bin Laden into a target of laughter and ridicule could have the effect of making recruitment more difficult for the organization with which he is linked. The number of converts willing to die upon orders from a lying, self important fool are minimal and his sphere of influence is more restricted. One final point, as a people we have a right to true and uninhibited laughter.
Laughter is a sign of confidence, a sign of a people at peace with themselves and their world.
Laughter is a sign of a people in control of their destiny. Even in the face of disaster and in the face of tragedy, we must understand that we live in a wonderful land and that there are many things of which we can be proud and for which we can laugh if we only make the effort to remember them. This time we shall require the use of our brains. END Hanther is a middle age guy claiming Cherokee heritage who works from a studio out in the sticks in Southwest Tennessee.
