TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

It's not as bad as the news are making out.  Najib Mikati has been the PM of Lebanon before, in 2005, and that wasn't the end of the world.  He's moderately pro-Syrian, but was willing to compromise with anti-Syrian groups, as he did with the assassination of Rafik Hariri.

Also the March 8th Alliance, who manouvered him into power, are made up mostly Maronite Christians first, Hezbollah second (and many more moderate and secular parties besides).  Is it a worrying display that Hezbollah has growing power in the region?  Yes.  Is it the end of all mankind, the tears of puppies and the whisperings of Azathoth in your head?  Nope.

This will be worth watching though. It would be nice if it brings a calming effect.

Going by the riots on the streets and all the stuff that got set on fire, I somehow doubt it.
