More On Mediocrity

Nathan — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 13:52:19 +0000

A few more thoughts, as I watch more people I know accept 2nd best.

Bad therapy teaches us that it is ok to be where you are and to accept it, be ok with it, and is a nicer euphemism for suck it up. Drugs help people cope with their inability to move from a [...]

Yes, We Are Not All Stupid!

We win. America Wins. The World Wins. Thank G-d we finally showed the world we are not all idiots. Democrats are on the way back.

Now!!!! No blow jobs, keep the curruption down, and fight for America. The America we all want, open, free, equitable, Christian right wing bullshit free, and a better world citizen.

Declarations of Independance

Read this, the Israeli Declaration of Independence. Why was I reading this today? I forget, but I was curious about this moment in history. Notice this:

The catastrophe which recently befell the Jewish people – the massacre of millions of Jews in Europe – was another clear demonstration of the urgency of solving the problem [...]

In another outstanding article, which makes the Economist worth the hefty subscription price, there is an analysis on the difference causes for the rift in support for Israel between America and Europe. While going through historical detail on the basis of left vs. right politics and how both have changed in all three locations cause [...]

Nathan — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 16:50:41 +0000

In front of Twilo maybe 8 years ago, maybe longer, I was berated by Sean B. and George M. because I was taking a stance about sending garment production to Asia. I maintained that it was fundamentally un-American to allow your neighbors to loose their jobs so that you could have the perception of cheaper [...]

Do We Need UN Election Monitors?

Nathan — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 01:48:12 +0000

You have to be dead to not recall the pain and suffering caused by the last two presidential elections. It was simply embarrassing to have the supposed standard bearer of democracy show that it has the same problems as the Democratic Republic of Congo. We have continued to allow bug business and wealthy power brokers [...]

What Are You Idiots Teaching Your Kids?

Nathan — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 01:45:56 +0000

I came across and read a post about 2 kids locked in a court battle over the lost iPod.

Making the rounds in the media this week is the news of two almost-highschool-freshmen girls, both 14-years old, involved in a nasty court battle against each other over… an iPod nano. Or, to be more accurate, [...]
