OPEN & CLOSED CASE!

June 29, 2004

I love the many phrases that we have and I have to wonder how people from other nations, speaking other languages, make any sense out of some of the things we say. But that’s not my point here. For me 9-11 was an OPEN & CLOSED event that’s started an OPEN & CLOSED war, that will last the rest of our lives: unless we wipe each other off the face of the earth first. Did I mention, I’m an optimist?

The number one CLOSED evangelist for the world is UBL, followed by Bill Gates. Say what?

UBL is trying to sell 1.3 billion Muslims that HE, and he alone, has the answers to the world: that HIS BRAND of Islam is right. You saw where HIS BRAND of Islam (a closed system) leads in how the Taleban operated in Afghanistan. You disagree with the head man and you’re shot, in public, for all to see and fear.

America stands for (though in reality it’s not entirely true) an OPEN SYSTEM where people from diverse backgrounds and cultures can live together- openly. The U.S. is made up of immigrants of varied cultures. Even we natives have taken on distinctive lifestyles. The list is too long to even begin.

We are in Iraq in part because we want to FREE the citizens of an autocratic, dictatorial (do it MY WAY only) mentality. People who have lived under the Pharoah (as the Israeli’s did), have a hard time adjusting to liberty and life in the desert. Just ask Moses. Oh, that’s right, you can’t, but you can read about it.

And then there is Bill Gates, the king of the American techno-economic system. No one can have the Microsoft code; however, Linux and Apache are on his heels and if I had to guess I’d say it’s all over for MSFT. The Open system mentality is coming after Microsoft as well.

How do I know? Simple. It’s an open and closed case! :-)
