i am floored. call me stupid but i expected more in general from intellectuals with enough honorary degrees to make a wall collapse if you hung them all up at once.


quote of the day (if not week, year, or man, lifetime)

John R. Bolton, current ambassador of the USA at the United Nations:

"I think it would be a mistake to ascribe moral equivalence to civilians who die as the direct result of malicious terrorist acts," he added, while defending as "self-defense" Israel's military action, which has had "the tragic and unfortunate consequence of civilian deaths".

in other words, we as citizens have to be on the look-out for potential troublemakers inside our borders. because we will be seen as responsible for the actions of a small number of people that we've probably never come in contact with should they decide to perpetrate terrorist acts abroad. and, thankfully, should consciouness ever come to trouble the pilot flying that f16 over our heads he will be allowed to bask in the blissful mindfuck that allows people to see others as just a little shy of being human.


and here is where i beg to differ from those who will want to convince you that sex, age, skin color, land of origin, religion, sexual orientation matter, i will teach you an equation that is as simple as it is true:

a human life = a human life

do not let anyone try to tell you otherwise.

Wow. It's good to know how officials really feel about putting lives at stake for the war cause. I wonder how they developed such a warped sense of reality? Probably somewhere around the time when they were learning that war is an acceptable form of conflict resolution. The next question is, will our future leaders finally learn or will the trend continue? There's one way to make sure.
