Draw your own conclusions...

    By Jack Grant

...after reading this, just be sure your response is not a knee-jerk emotional one. Please think about it a while, filtering out the provocative tone of the article and consider the broader implications, including the ironic parallels.

Pennywit, who supplied the link, has his own question.

My question is similar, but phrased slightly differently:

Is this really how we want our government to work?

At the risk of oversimplifying: no.

I'm skeptical, sounds like a jaded perspective. Dislike is dislike. Dislike the end, dislike the means, can do nothing right...

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 Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
