The following is from fomer brinneller Stefan Jones: It's almost as if being a conservative has come to mean never being wrong. Since you're never wrong, the rules for mere mortals don't apply. No need for apologies, doubt, or second thoughts.
*sigh.* I'd say, hell, go for it guys. Full steam ahead until you go over a cliff. Only, them being the people in charge, they'd drag us along with them. I recently rediscovered this little gem by William Gibson: ". . . I am, as far as I can tell, more or less a centrist, equally repelled by either extreme of the political spectrum. Indeed, I believe that the spectrum forms a full circle, with right and left merging, as they meet at their respective extremes, into luminous batshit evil. . . . If you're a decent centrist Republican, or a true conservative, today, I feel for you; your party has been carjacked by some sort of radical movement, and driven right around the spectrum -- people who've bathed their brains all too thoroughly in the White Light of the far, bad side. In very much the sense that Bush is not actually a Christian, likewise is he nothing remotely conservative. Believing Bush is conservative in any traditional sense is like believing that a Formula One racer with the Perrier logo on its side is full of mineral water. The RNC today is a party in the hands of dangerous political radicals." --- Alberto Monteiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > "God" wrote: > > > > Observation #1: Iran's western land border > measures 2,603 km, of which > > 1,458 km are borders with Iraq - that's 56%. > > > How can you measure a border "line", when it's not a > one-dimensional > thing, but a fractal of some intermediary dimension? > Borders should > not be measured in kms, but in things like > "km^(1.3)" > > Alberto Monteiro > > _______________________________________________ > http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l > _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
