Are Oregon Children Going To Dismiss All Adults As Nuts...

...if they end up celebrating a known terrorist on Martin Luther King Day, a state of affairs made possible by proposed legislation there, oddly enough in the same state that took a stand against big government, Diaper State restrictions on liberty in the aftermatch of 9-11 (in refusing to round up Arab-Americans), and all of this due to passionate reaction about a war to free Iraqis? For their freedom...

Geez, where are our priorities? Our freedom? The absurd is hitting record heights...too bad the economy can't speculate on and profit from that.

A plea. Can we just get back to the War On Terror please, and all the good will and allies we had with that? I didn't see any war protests on this scale about the multilateral War On Terror, so clearly the protests now are mainly concerned with the elite, unilateral use of American power for projection of our interests, world be damned. Not to mention the arrogance and hyprocrisy of our save-them-from-themselves, what-Jesus-would-definitely-not-do attitude.

Cowboy Kahlil at ReachM is showcasing the quote of the week as far as I'm concerned...

"The past is prophetic in that it asserts that wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows. One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means. How much longer must we play at deadly war games before we heed the plaintive pleas of the unnumbered dead and maimed of past wars?"

--Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
