Peter,

If it had only been written back then, I'd have given those women a
copy of John Callahan's
"What Kind of a God Would Allow a Thing Like This to Happen?!!" or
"Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot!"  For those of you who are
unfamiliar with Callahan I encourage you to look him up on Amazon, or
go to his website:

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.

-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
