Merry Xmas!

December 25, 2002

Having admirably taken part in the annual perfunctory, yet prolonged, shopping orgy, our fearless author proceeds to be attracted to colorful and shiny objects, and wraps said procured goods in varying shades of glittery gift wrap and puts them under her plastic Christmas tree with mirth and glee. Incidentally, the disinterested Lutheran-born does not understand [...]

Arab Internment Camps – The Aftermath

December 20, 2002

Here’s a reaction I got from someone who clearly didn’t like what I had to say yesterday: I don’t care what Islamists think about America..I already know ..they hate us. OK. Press on. The reason [you] really had to dig for these articles is they have no credibility. Gee, with that show of openmindedness, who [...]

Arab Internment Camps

December 19, 2002

Jill Serjeant’s Reuters Article: Hundreds of Iranian and other Middle East citizens were in southern California jails on Wednesday after coming forward to comply with a new rule to register with immigration authorities only to wind up handcuffed and behind bars. Shocked and frustrated Islamic and immigrant groups estimate that more than 500 people have [...]

A whole LOTTa ruckus going on

December 17, 2002

The worrying thing about the booting of Lott is that the Republicans who want him out aren’t doing it simply to save face with the black voting populace of this country, but mostly to get rid of an ineffectual leader who isn’t conservative enough. Lott may make stupid remarks, but he was a liability for [...]

Woman?

December 14, 2002

In the psychological sense of the word, I never really made the transition to womanhood. Seeing myself as a grown-up when I still feel like a girl seems to me a lot like a kid trying on her mother’s stilletos and clumsily stumbling around in them while trying to act adult-like. It’s one of two [...]

Of School Pictures and William S. Burroughs a.k.a. Kidnap This

December 11, 2002

I remember once watching a late-night cop show that warned viewers not to put up pictures of our family members in our places of work. Someone who gets pathologically obsessed with us may exact revenge by stalking, kidnapping, or killing those near and dear to us. The rationale: If they know your vulnerability, they can [...]

Mea Culpa

December 4, 2002

“As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life – so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls.” — M. Cartmill Seldom can an individual’s existence be described exactly by one borrowed statement, axiom, [...]

Big Men Cry

November 26, 2002

“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” – Public Papers of the Presidents, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1960, p. 1035-1040 “Many that live deserve death. And some that [...]

How Much Is An Island?

November 16, 2002

The results of the last congressional election have me convinced that critical thinking in this country is in danger of extinction and that voter apathy cannot go unchecked. While it is American to cast a vote, those in office would rather see votes not cast against them than rightly help the democratic process along. Absolute [...]
