Here you'll find stuff I'm interested in - maybe just for the moment, but probably more durably so. For those of you who don't know, the embedded YouTube videos play best if you click in the lower left of the window, then click there again to pause the video while it loads. It's best to wait ‘til the red line fills up all the way, but at least let it get about a half an inch past the play head before you click play again. Please comment - it's the only way I can tell you care :)

Another Political Entry

I was reading this and its attendant comments section, and found it somewhat heartening that some people really do get the awful, misguided nature of this latest episode of Bush Administration stupidity known as the "troop surge."

It just sucks that soldiers - who are actual humans, after all - get used as pawns in a political game over and over again in this.

It also sucks that there is even one single person in the US who is so uneducated that they are able to write this:

"Personally, I believe the US is in Iraq for two reasons: 1. to make the point that we CAN and WILL take down nations uniting with our enemies, and 2. to provide a landing and unloading zone for an eventual push against Iran - the real evil."

I feel like I cound incredulously re-quote each phrase from the above quote and follow them with an exasperated mixture of question marks and exclamation points.

How can one even begin to set someone (and there are many such "someones," I'm afraid) so deluded on the path to knowledge and understanding?

At least I can feel comforted by the fact that I'm preaching to an understanding choir here.

Thanks be to God for the understanding choir. Maybe we'll inherit the earth together someday. Maybe it's already happening.
