Opinion:

Some have asked for a firm, non-balanced opinion from me...

    By Jack Grant

...but are you sure you want one?

I'm making a point here, so stay with the entire post.

Here is a mild version:

Newsweek


Do the math.

In other words, the conclusion is left as an exercise for the reader.

Any questions?

If yes, then see me after class, but I expect you to have spent some time thinking about it first...

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Do I agree with every point or implication made in the cartoon above?

Nope... However, I have noticed that often, exaggeration is often required to get the attention of many people.

I suggest you reexamine your own prejudices before you go forward with a condemnation of me or others because of our views on current events, especially in light of history, including the history written by those who have an agenda, which means ALL history... yes, even the history you were taught in school.

In other words, question everything.

I do.

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.
