MILITANTPLATYPUS

I think my political leanings are starting to show. But politics aside, this one seams really basic to me. Yes genocide was occurring, yes the country was a threat to the world. BUT, one of the tenants of democracy, as I recall, is that the needs of the few must be protected.

Here is my definition of freedom: The right to do what ever the hell you want to do, up until the point your freedom infringes on another’s freedom. Nothing had occurred in Iraq that had infringed on our freedoms. Yes, they definitely threatened our freedoms, but infringed…no. One of the drawbacks of being the good guy, is you don’t get to choose who the bad guys are. The benefit of such a policy is that you do not create bad guys, and your job as a good guy gets easier.

Name a major religion, and it will tell you not to cast the first stone. The most ironic part of this entire situation, is that the religion the Bush professes to follow, preaches directly against his course of action. Oh well, I guess there is always 2008…go Nader!

I have been milling around the site today, at looking at my poor stats, and trying to figure out ways to make the site more interesting. I did find some interesting information about you, the viewer, and I thought I would share.

Looks like most of you are from the US, but it looks like my audience is world wide.

Hmm..big shocker here

This one I was actually surprised by. Lots of you are spending some serious money on your monitors..I may have to start rethinking my website design.
(By the way, who ever is running 1600×1200, do you want to trade monitors?)

This is a beautiful memorial and long over due. It is being put in place in Berlin, and if very fitting. I can’t read the text, so I can’t give you much in the way of detail, other than to say that it is breathtaking!

Update:
Thanks to Dave Diamond, we now have an English translation. Thanks Dave!

Golf anyone?

I added a notify by email jobby at the bottom of the sidebar. I don’t know if I will keep it or not, but I thought it would be a good way to keep ya’ll up to date.

This blog has been a lot of fun over the past few months, and I think it will continue to entertain me, and hopefully a few others. I have been making a lot of little tweaks over the past few weeks, and I think the blog is getting to where I want it to be visually.
So now I guess it is time for a little more content. I will still be doing some of my one liner posts, and just letting you, the reader figure it out from there. But I want to start adding in more reviews, comments, opinions, and fun stuff like that. I guess we will be finding out together how good of a writer I am. And if it all goes horribly awry, I’ll just go back to posting one liners again.
Thanks to those of you who have been reading, and welcome to those of you who are hear for the first time. Hopefully it won’t be the last!

6. Answer calmly, “Yes,” and press the mouse button firmly

7. Feel better, don’t you?

Lots of fixes, and a painless installation, what more could you ask for?
