I find myself deeply disturbed over recent events in Scotland.

I've spent years extolling the virtues of my heritage country, displaying my kilts, toutng visits and vacations to that lovely land, and displaying a lot of it on my website . . .

BUT I am incensed at the decision of a Scottish Minister to show compassion to a cold blooded killer and terrorist who, himself, showed no compassion for 270 human beings that moment over Lockerbie, Scotland.

I'm not incensed because there were Americans on board . . . I'm incensed because there were PEOPLE on board . . . muslims, jews, catholics, protestant, white, black, yellow, young, old and on and on and on, especially the young, the students who had not even the chance to experience life as it should be . . . to make their own decisions toward happiness, sorrow, grief, joy, whatever.

I am doubly incensed this a.m. as the News blurts that perhaps a deal was made between England and Libya having to do with oil . . . My God! . . . what are we sinking to. Hold it . . . I'll try to not be pre-judgemental until the facts are in.

I'm just incensed . . . sick at heart . . . depressed . . . sad . . . and lonely of heart. And, I'm mad as hell at that Minister!!!!
