Three things

...Contemplate three things, and you will not come to the hands of transgression: Know what is above from you: a seeing eye, a listening ear, and all your deeds being inscribed in a book.
Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers) 2:1

BBC news reports that "A 23-year-old man has been jailed for stealing a mobile phone from a woman as she lay dying in a Manchester street.
...He was caught on CCTV taking the phone."

And here's an article I came across this afternoon which raises some disturbing questions about President Obama's short-form COLB. I would love some answers to the questions that are posed.

And speaking of the President, tonight he stated, "In Tahrir Square, we heard Egyptians from all walks of life chant, “Muslims, Christians, we are one.”
This evening the Washington Post is reporting, "An Egyptian security official says clashes have broken out between Muslims and Christians over the reopening of a Cairo church the former regime closed years ago."
