Dear Mr. Bush and Mr. Rumsfeld;
I know you're both really busy guys and don't have lots of spare time to do extensive research before testing out your new scary terminologies to use on the American public at large. I know it's really important to you guys to impress upon us citizens how we are under a constant and severe threat from the "enemy" and in your struggles to define "the enemy" for us - you are continually in need of new tools, verbiage and brushes to paint them with. So I can appreciate how we slipped back and forth from "Terra" to "extreme hatred" to "violent extremism" and then back to "global terra" a few times before comfortably settling into the 'GWOT' again, like an old pair of bedroom slippers you just can't abandon.

Time to move to Finland?
Over four million people a year go to Finland for their vacation. The country is made up of breathtaking countryside dotted with pine forests (2/3 of the country is forest), rolling hills, endless lakes, hundreds of islands, and 35 National Parks.


A radical declaration

(This picks up from where MS and Jai left off.)
Each year at this time, I make it a point to read the American Declaration of Independence. It always astonishes me just how radical this document is. Its philosophy—that an oppressed people suffering from “a long train of abuses and usurpations” not only has the right but the OBLIGATION to overthrow the existing government and replace it with another form of government—continues to amaze me. It makes specific that the rights of the people are not bestowed by a government that can take them away, but rather come from God. These rights, therefore, are “unalienable.”

Laura Flanders of GritTV almost got it right
A person I had never seen before was on Thursday’s “Ed Schultz Show.” I came to like her a lot.
In the course of the discussion, the question of whether or not the U.S.’s torture methods were effective came up. Flanders pointedly jumped in and said that that’s not the point. The point is that in this country, “…the ends don’t justify the means.”
She almost got it right.
