Mm... Laddie's a wee bit cranky this week. Not that I can blame him, but still... Watch that blood pressure, Pat. We don't want another voice of reason to go off the air.

Angry? Yes. Merely cranky? No. Sometimes anger is the courage that keeps you doing what so badly needs doing, when without it, you couldn't do it at all. That's what Condell's anger does -- it keeps him soldiering on, trying to get some sense into our heads. Yes, I hope he's with us for a long, long time, and sees better times to come, but if not for his anger, he couldn't do what he does so well at all.

Aye, tha' I know, milady. My point is that he (along with the rest of us) needs to keep a rein on that anger, keep the ember going and under control, rather than letting it flare up, consume everything it touches, and in the process do its holder far more damage than ever it does its target. He does a fair job of control, but if you watch the video carefully, there are a couple of point at which Mr. Condell is actually starting to tremble with rage, and a few places where his complexion starts to color - neither of which are common in the man's normal polemics. This has gotten him unusually angry, and I hope he doesn't allow that to do anything to his health.

He likely knows his limits. The thing I worry about is, does he live in England, or where? Many countries now have chickenshit laws against daring to say anything against Muslims, and English prisons are no joke. If he's only posting his videos on Youtube, then maybe he can get away with it. But if he doesn't live here, he is running a serious risk of being imprisoned for daring to speak his mind.
