Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Nonassimilation: Bowing to the rights of the few over the rights of the many: 3 of 11
Nonassimilation: Bowing to the rights of the few over the rights of the many ... I had to type that again to be sure it's actually an issue; and no, it's still a non-issue to me, like "No Child Left Behind" or "shooting yourself in the foot." That is, it's stupid for everyone who doesn't need it. The main example I look at i... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Police & Prisons Are there more prisoners in jail or on the street?: 3 of 9

Prisoners "on the street"? If you don't mean 'criminals who have not been caught,' then I have to assume you're talking about ALL OF US-both in the sense that our personal lives are usually "not mandated by the government's law" and in the sense that people of the world are "imprisoned" by stupidity. But who wants to "know" ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Bush Administration Why Bush should be impeached: Adding up the costs in Iraq: 19 of 54

I got this letter from President-hopeful Dennis Kucinich: "Impeachment: I'm asking you. Do you think it's time? "Dear Friends, "Today is the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq. We know it was wrong to go into this war and it's wrong to stay in. "For four years I have been working to end this war, including leading the eff... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Climate Change Common global warming myths: 11 of 25
I just rehd an AlterNet-report on Women in Government Leading the Global-Warming Charge, and the issue of 'polar bear extinction' came up. First of all, polar bears ARE NOT going extinct (not just yet, anyway). By some accounts, their population has multiplied to tens-of-thousands in the past decades. Their 'danger of extinc... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 The case for Unity '08: 1 of 1

I want a federal administration free from debt to special-interests. The "Unity `08"-group will ONLY accept SMALL donations. Granted, they too serve the green flame we sacrifice to them; but-accepting no bonfire-grade donations from any entity-their two-party administration will serve all of their tax-paying patrons equally....

Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Is John McCain, now in his 70s, too old to serve as president?: 8 of 14
Is John McCain, now in his 70s, too old to serve as President? Too Old!? How can you be 'too old' to do a job that's meant for men who can do little more movement than is required to "give orders"? Do you remember the common depiction of the world's Creator? An old man with a huge, white, flowing beard, who sits upon a thron... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Justice System Commentary on killing a killer: 12 of 20
You're a productive member of society; you pay your taxes, and might bear more members of society later on. Space is limited. Air is limited. Food, clothing, energy and temperature-control are all limited-commodities. Everybody needs those things UNLESS THEY ARE DEAD. If someone is a productive member of society, it is good ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Giving the power back to US citizens: 9 of 13
Maybe you have to've been brought-up 'in power' to understand why we should have it. (I.e. America might ALWAYS have been "that kind of special" lol!) Look at this copy of the Declaration's text, interwoven with its re-re-re-re-translation from www.tashian.com/multibabel: IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration o... More..

Monday, November 28, 2005 10:57 AM - Woo-Hoooo! 'Gold Star'-Grade Nerdy Today! Current mood: anarchological Category: Blogging As I went through my friends' blogs today, IgnoranceIsn'tBliss caught my attention with a post in which he defines several tactics of the 'Conspiri-Nazis' (people who buy into the government cover-st...

Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory The concept of justice: 48 of 59

'The concept of justice' is illustrated by the blindfolded lady holding the scales. That illustration says several things to me: How justice is made by the interpreters of law, how that gives birth to new laws and how they all boil down to the one absolute law. Who "decides" what "Justice" is? Justice is NOT "decided," but '... More..
