This is not happening Vagabonde. It is sad. There are 34,000 different factions within Christianity and hundreds in Hinduism which was supposed to be the most tolerant of all, but evil cast system and gross injustice arising out of it Results in communal riots, killing and destruction. Within Islam people are killing each other along with those who don't agree with them. Those who don't agree forms the whole world perhaps they would kill the entire population. Still they will not be happy.<br /><br />The roads are beautiful Vagabonde, We still don't seem to understand what 'progress' really is. In India we are confused, we do not know what to be developed and what to be left alone.raufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069291890495563749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-49474249050680499672009-10-19T19:28:25.450-04:002009-10-19T19:28:25.450-04:00It's always a shame when a lovely, historic ar...It's always a shame when a lovely, historic area becomes 'gentrified' - it seems to kill all community spirit. Then if on top of it they are building their own schools with a very specific agenda . . . I become quite concerned when anyone has too fundamentalist-a-stance. There is then no room for diversity, tolerance, questions, or negotiation. How can you argue of negotiate with those who possess the truth and have 'god' on their side.

Roads that were formerly gravel or dirt are being paved, and little homesteads are disappearing, giving way to large mansions.

Il a obtenu ce très grand prix français en 1987 pour "La nuit sacrée". <br />J'ai lu pratiquement tous ses livres, et mon préféré est un roman de ses débuts: "Moha le fou, Moha le sage". A l'époque, Tahar Ben Jelloun n'avait pas encore la renommée qu'il a aujourd'hui. Un pur chef-d’œuvre!<br />Je te souhaite donc une bonne lecture, tu me diras ce que tu en penses...<br />Très belle soirée et très bon dimanche<br />KenzaKenzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601055808011840901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-82650678570244507452009-10-17T13:42:42.167-04:002009-10-17T13:42:42.167-04:00Vagabonde, a splendid place on the face of it, but...Vagabonde, a splendid place on the face of it, but I can see that you may find it difficult to fit in and make friends.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-16033970336044267912009-10-17T12:06:20.462-04:002009-10-17T12:06:20.462-04:00love the pumpkins..love the pumpkins..wennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535757998884625545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-9897037385790312172009-10-17T05:22:53.400-04:002009-10-17T05:22:53.400-04:00That was an interesting stroll/drive.

You go to the UK, and the rolling countryside is uncluttered with strip malls. Americans go to enjoy it. Yet they don't want to restrict anything here, so there is freedom to clutter up the landscape. It drives me nuts.<br /><br />And tolerance - your paragraph about Christian schools, tolerance and all is brilliant, right down to the SUVs. That drives me nuts too. The country is becoming so ugly in its divisiveness, I wonder what we will look like ten years from now.<br /><br />I wish you a hearty <i>bon voyage</i> and look forward to your return.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-59290294510963224192009-10-17T03:41:54.843-04:002009-10-17T03:41:54.843-04:00j'arrive de mon deuxième blog car Clara et nan...j'arrive de mon deuxième blog car Clara et nanou c'est moi sous deux blogs différents...<br />Je m'appelle nanou et te souhaite un bon WE sous le ciel de GéorgieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-66334919171464939362009-10-17T03:36:18.807-04:002009-10-17T03:36:18.807-04:00bonjour

So much pumpkinry! And they're so perfectly shaped and coloured! And he's quite right about Bush and his cronies who misinformed the world to the point that we joined the Coalition of the Willing, based on a lie! Terrible man should be brought to account. And your new "McMansions" are so so similar to the houses being built at the back of my five acre property. We used to live in vegetable producing country but now it's just suburban sprawl, we're the last enclave of rural life close to the CBD, very sad. My horses have had to get used to the sound of hoons and sirens. Wonderful walk through your neighbourhood. I'm so happy, I got a new camera lens for my birthday and it's superb! And as John Lennon said, "Life is what happens while you're making other plans!" So true!

I'll bet that this doesn't make Troy very happy. <br /><br />It's too bad the recent flood didn't drive out all of those radical so-called Christians. I imagine their houses were well above the water line since they probably had the best architects draw up the plans for their mega mansions. <br /><br />I love your pictures. You are a superb photographer and it makes it so easy to visualize the areas you visit and live in. <br /><br />I do love the beautiful antebellum house in the lower left hand corner. Or maybe it is a new reproduction of a plantation house.
