Nowadays, it's not six months by boat for my mail and the news. It's six-tenths of a second. Anyone anywhere can know what's going on, so he's doing nothing but bullshitting once again.

Thankfully, he's even more of a joke than merc - I'm not offended, only amused.

Six months or 6/10 of a second you're still on the other side of the world where it's safe.
You don't have to check under the bed at night, in the backseat of your car coming out of the mall, or the kitchen of the restaurant, to make sure terrorists aren't going to rush out and saw your head off, like UG does.

Yes, wry with lots of poop-on mustard. Did I make you feel bad for poor persecuted UG?

Reading about it -- vicarious experience -- is not a substitute for actual experience, Ibbie. Too, what colors your perceptions is what you read, and frankly, from the sort of things you say, it looks to me like you're reading things that would do better spread in a flowerbed and well Roto-tillered in.

Last time I checked under the bed, I was looking for the cat. Don't seek to find fear in my thinking unless you truly love frustration served up with disappointment. That and becoming a laughingstock. Hard on the ego, all that.

I second the 1984 recommendation. While it's really a twentieth-century period piece now, its universal truths still hold and its lessons are still valuable.

Fascism made easy...


1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
2. Create a gulag
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens' groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason
10. Suspend the rule of law

-Naomi Wolf
