Elves


Maybe it's the cold, maybe it's something else, like the destruction of Apostolic Order in the Church of England, but whatever the case, there's a lot of elf chatter going on at the moment.


Matters came to a head in Iceland, where a new road project was blocked due to concerns it would destroy an elf, or "huldufolk," habitat, including an elf church. Local authorities were unwilling risk the elves' "displeasure" and halted the construction. 



"Mainly they're a peaceable breed but if you treat them with disrespect, for example by blasting dynamite through their rock houses and churches, they're not reticent about showing their displeasure," stated Emma Kirby, for the BBC.



According to surveys, 62% of Icelanders believe in elves, Here in the US, construction of the Keystone pipeline has been vetoed by President Obama.

No one knows for sure how many elves live in America.

There are a lot of elves and dwarves on reality TV.

A bit similar to the concern over elf welfare, you won't be surprised to hear that the liberals in Austin with whom I am FB friends are JUST NOW in an uproar over ISIS. Why? Because they've been slaughtering innocents? No. That hasn't fazed them. It's because ISIS has started defacing plaster replicas of pagan statues in Mosul and Nineveh.
Replicas of pagan art are being smashed.
oh. NOW we're upset...

My point being simply that the things that people make a fuss over... it can defy all reason.

There's elves everywhere, and that's just in the West Wing...
