Opinion:

Have you noticed...

    By Jack Grant

...that the loudest voices are always those against something, rather than for something? And it doesn't matter if those people doing the shouting and making the demands are from the left or the right-wing, it's still "against" something.

Even when something is being advocated "for" the arguments are often presented "against" something else. I'm sure there are some fundamental reasons that lie at the heart of human nature, but regardless, I'd like to see more "for" and less "against" in our political system.

And here I thought you LIKED to debate. Man. I thought we were having a good time here, all the while you've been miserable!

I'm bummed.

(Not that I can't see your point, but still...)

Random Fate - latest posts

We don't handle randomness well.
   -Dr. Lucy Jones


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.
   -Dandemis

Wahabism Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
