So I made my bi-monthly foray into Facebook. [View all]

Just to see what my "friends" think of the death of Scalia.

There was everything from boring news posts to one person lamenting the possibility of that Obummer (yes, that's what he was called) nominating another liberal by saying, "It's in God's hands now. All we can do is pray."





Two different "friends" posted this scary quote by Scalia:

God assumed from the beginning that the wise of the world would view Christians as fools...and He has not been disappointed....If I have brought any message today, it is this: Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity. Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world.


It seems to sum up things quite nicely. Courageous fools.
