A Little Background to the 'Cartoon Row' ... it's always nice to have the background information.

Evangelical Environmentalists ... surely the Apocalypse is nigh.

It is scary to live in Norway these days, believe me. I've heard that there is going to be a "burn the Norwegian flag" day in my town on Saturday. I'll do all of my weekend shopping tomorrow afternoon instead. Gnnnrrrghh!! I hate this! Now I can't feel safe in my own home town, because some people behave like Hungarian Horntails and others don't know that you shall not tickle sleeping dragons! (For you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.)

I really like the succinct and imaginative way you summed up this situation (and made a Harry Potter reference! 50 points for Gryffindor!), whereas it took me a couple of big paragraphs to say essentially the same thing. And I think that it's really cool (not for you right now, but the rest of us) to hear what it's like from a person who's in the thick of the storm there (kinda like a war correspondant!), rather than a commentator seated comfortably a million miles away. I appreciate your thoughts. Good luck!
