General:

Another photo from London

    By Jack Grant

This is how close people can now get to 10 Downing Street. I believe the actual building is the red brick structure in the far back. Sadly enough, on the opposite side of the block, you can get much closer, but no people were on that side. I decided not to take photos from the back because I didn't want to be regarded as a "person of interest." Such are the sad times we live in.

yup, I have a picture like that from our trip to England last autumn.
It's still a fascinating place - there is a bar across from Parliament that is full of old photos of Churchill and other English politicians.

Blame the IRA for that Jack. They are the ones that caused the fence to go up, I believe.

We don't handle randomness well.

Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Wahabism must be destroyed.
