Denmark’s embassy in Syria was, apparently, burnt to the ground. It’s a little odd to see Denmark on CNN and BBC and every other channel in the world. We’re a tiny, little unassuming country. It’s somehow funny that we can inspire such hatred and conflict.<\/p>\n

Can you see the resemblance? If not Gollum, then at least the later-stage Smeagol. Corrupted and blinded by the ring. The ring being a metaphor for political power, in this particular story.<\/p>\n

It’s a crazy world. I think I need a dosage of Magnethe to calm me down.<\/p>\n
