"We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men."

Herman Melville said that, apparently. Tis too true, baby, too true. A largely ignored fact, but still…

Yes, another swifty anti-world bloggette, beginning with this:

"Our cautious response to these issues in the face of mounting evidence may be seen by the world as uncaring, reckless and ill-informed," the statement says. "We can do better."

Oh, if only the southern Baptists were talking about their irrational belief in a Big Man in the sky… Funny how they can accept some evidence, but not other evidence. The testing of faith continues…

"Some of us have required considerable convincing before becoming persuaded that these are real problems that deserve our attention," the statement says. "But now we have seen and heard enough to be persuaded that these issues are among the current era's challenges that require a unified moral voice."

I love progress, but it's gonna be a while before these idiots 'fess up to 2,000 years of bullshit.

Speaking of bullshit and Big Men in the sky, The U.S. military's first and only study looking into ties between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and al Qaeda showed no connection between the two…

OK, so we all knew this to be the truth, no matter what John McCain might say. But it's the phrase "First and only study" that bugs me. I sometimes go out and want to buy something, but before I do so I research a little. You know, I try to find out as much as I can about the thing I'm thinking about so I can make sure I get the best thing.

Now, I'm talking about kettles/toasters/hoovers/etceteras, but these people invaded a country before doing ANY research. None. Not a bit. Nada. Nothin'. They knew fucking nothing before they went in there, and it's wonderful that the truth is out — from THE PENTAGON. Definitely people with vested interests in not being wrong, huh?

But yet…

So, why is Bush still in office? Why hasn't Donnie Shitsfeld been brought up on charges? Why haven't the law enforcers, that is police and such, done their job and taken these cunts down?



You can arrest/shoot/whatever some guy with brown skin and/or a turban on no more evidence than a hunch and some bigoted ignorance, but when you KNOW for a FACT that these rich white guys have committed crimes that go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond the destruction of the WTC (accepting, for the moment, that this was actually committed by influences outside the U.S.) — what? Nothing? Nothing at all? The knowing MURDER of over 4,000 Americans in pursuit of oil? Is that not enough to justify an arrest?

Meanwhile…

OK, I'm just gonna let that hang, cos you know THEY should.
