Gee do you think it could be because the Israeli’s were in the midst of conducting war crimes and they didn’t want neutral witnesses? Nah!
UNITED NATIONS — Israel used a precision-guided bomb to hit four U.N. peacekeepers killed in southern Lebanon in July, the United Nations said Friday.

Uncomfortably numb

And this my friends is the very sad truth
A YEAR AGO this week, a military jury convicted Army Reserve Pfc. Lynndie R. England of maltreating detainees. The face of the Abu Ghraib scandal, England is forever fixed in photographs as the girl with the bowl cut and the pixie smile who pointed at Iraqi prisoners [...]

Face it Avery - you don’t have an irrational fear of Real Estate Agents you’re just a cheap son of a bitch capitalist expoiting theworkers of the world, who doesn’t want to pay some hard working member of the proletariat, with a family to support, to unload your palace at an outrageous and immoral [...]

I realize my comment in the last post about lining them up and shooting them is a bit extreme, and was deliberately meant to be so to get you thinking. You have to look at your country and ask yourself how can this be fixed?

Scary stuff Part II

27 September, 2006 (18:42) | Political | No comments

Last month Asia Times had an article about the re-militarization of Japan and the possibility of the US supplying Japan with nuclear weapons. I said at the time that’s scary. Today the NYT has an article on Shinzo Abe the new Premier of Japan and I read

Cool technology

A week ago the “great experiment” began for both Diane and I. We live in high snow country. With upwards of five months of snow on the ground a year this makes year round outdoor composting impossible. Our local regional district government encourages indoor composting using red wriggler worm bins so I’ve installed one in [...]
