Thirty miles each way

|

I thought about driving out to Capital Region WMA and Cowee State Forest to spend the day poking around there, but I decided against it as the work project that came in this morning took up a good portion of the morning, then by the time I got back home and cooked lunch it was starting to cloud up – but mainly it was that I punched the address in my GPS and it said it was 30 miles each way, so figure 70 mile round trip  driving. I just didn’t want to burn up that much gas, plus it’s not like it’s a pleasant drive with a lot of it on expressway until I get to the congested suburban NY 43 through Sand Lake, then out Tabor Road to Dutch Church which looked to be slow and twisty.

So I ended up riding my bike this afternoon to Five Rivers and spending until dusk just loafing around, listening to an audio book about Midwestern Politics and just kind of hanging out, playing with the camera, snapping some photos and just wasting time. The wind was roaring all afternoon, so I didn’t really feel like going for much of a ride, and I just wanted a quiet afternoon to listen to the audio book and loaf around in woods. Maybe it was a real waste of time, but so be it. Wasn’t the nicest afternoon ever once it clouded up, but at least it was mild.

How would the media today cover the trial of Jesus Christ if it happened today?

Before sunrise


If Jesus Christ was brought up on trial today for the crime of treason, I often wonder how would the media cover the trial. Would he be portrayed as an angry mad-man, leader of an angry cult that committing unthinkable crimes against the state? Somebody declared a menace to God and man, most deserving of his painful death on cross? I am sure the District Attorney would be featured in a press conference, discussing how long-sought after justice was finally served against Jesus Christ — and that his death on the cross would deliver long-needed closure for the victims.

The television would also bring on voices of people who were victimized by Jesus Christ, for his acts of treason, organizing people against the lawful orders of the state. They might briefly mention his work on behalf of the common man, but argue that the way he went around confronting the Alderman and the rich power brokers, isn’t the way forward. The media would attach all of the bad actions of his followers to Jesus Christ, the violence, the hatred, all of which Jesus was not responsible for as the leader of the common man against the rich.
