And While We Blog...
Indian Blogsister Anita's post is a reminder to me how truly remarkable bloggers are. Race, religion, sexual preferences -- all of those things that seem to trigger a need for violence out there in the other world -- are irrelevant here. And still, while we blog, comfortable in our mutual acceptance, Anita's friend

The family escaped in the nick of time. She says gets chills up her spine everytime she hears the religious chantings of the mobs, rising to a crescendo.

Will we be next?
