Remember that posting I made on September 27th?  Well, it’s beginning… these are the first stages of our coastline getting swallowed up by intensifying storms and rising sea levels.  This is not something that will effect us only in the future.  It will effect us slightly now and only get worse.  I am already working on “Ultraparadoxical.com” brand life-raft!

Brilliant!

Finally, a sane person saying sane things.  Now to see if anyone will listen to him.  American agents are torturing people.  Period.  End of statement.  The fact that Americans are not vocal in opposition to this is disheartening.  Hopefully more influential people will speak out to this fact and things can be changed.  At least this is a start.

American Terrorists!

The first time I read this article I actually laughed out loud, then I stepped back from myself and looked critically at how I was thinking.  I don’t think many people look outside of themselves to see the perspectives of others.  If I were in the Middle East and American actions were affecting my life adversely I would probably agree with the categorization of the US forces as terrorists.  Terrorism is such a charged word that has a vague definition, and that what makes it so dangerous to use that label carelessly.
