Warped Galaxies: On Boston
http://pksblog.pktaylor.com/2013/04/on-boston.html
Wednesday, April 17, 2013. Address the collective scapegoating and potential backlash that may affect them. This is a sad way for our country to treat people. I doubt it. Will the pundits who have been raving about the Muslim threat admit they rushed to judgement. I doubt that too. How sad that a sad day in American history is made so much worse by our own actions.

Warped Galaxies: March 2006
http://pksblog.pktaylor.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 31, 2006. On the road again. Tomorrow we're headed out to Florida for a week to visit with my in-laws. I'm looking forward to warm temps, the Atlantic, and tiny lizards. Found out I didn't make the cut for Fiddler on the Roof. Honestly, I'm not surprised, given how the singing went. Last night at about midnight, the carbon monoxide alarm went off. Looks like we'll need a new furnace. Joy. And, last but not least, even if it's a bit late, thank God for the release of Jill Caroll! It never go...

Warped Galaxies: October 2005
http://pksblog.pktaylor.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2005. Dismantling the Justice System. When they get to average Americans, who will be left to speak up? According to the Times: "In a breathtaking afterthought at the close of debate, the House voted to triple the number of terrorism-related crimes carrying the death penalty. The House also voted to allow judges to reduce the size of juries that decide on executions, and even to permit prosecutors to try repeatedly for a death sentence when a hung jury fails to vote for death.". I try...

Warped Galaxies: August 2006
http://pksblog.pktaylor.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 31, 2006. A poem inspired by some recent conversations on the Islamic Writers Alliance list about airing dirty laundry, and the pressures to and not to talk about problems within the Muslim community. By Pamela K. Taylor. To find the laundry. You have to enter the house. A couple simple phrases. And the door swings open. You don’t even have to say. You can do it in your native tongue. If you can’t manage. But once you get past the door. There are lots of rooms. And lots of doors. It had ...

Warped Galaxies: June 2006
http://pksblog.pktaylor.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 24, 2006. In the snippets of time away from my grandfather's death bed, I've seen bits of news about the arrests in Miami of seven men who are alleged to have been plotting to blow up the Sears Building in Chicago. The reports raise a lot of questions:. 1) The men are being called radical Muslims, but at least one of their members says they are part of a religious sect called "Seas of David." Little is known about this group, but in response to questioning by CNN. Para; 1:21 PM. Our vacati...

Warped Galaxies: February 2006
http://pksblog.pktaylor.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2006. It's not as fast as Rwanda was, but it is getting to be just as deadly. I read a report about a man who was killed as he tried to keep the militia from burning his millet and sorghum field. His wife, just 20 years old, was left with her three children, and nothing else. It just breaks my heart to read about this man - trying to save his crops to feed his family. How can you kill someone like that? Para; 8:43 AM. Links to this post. Monday, February 27, 2006.
