The world shows it has balance. In summary, Huh? Bleh The first suggests, but does not state, that we'll be seeing healthier Oreos and other junk food from Kraft. Pretty strange. The second is about the ICC, where, as I might've mentioned before, the U.S. is pushing that it be immune from a court that it supports for everyone else. Blatant self-servingness. I mean, it's one thing to oppose the ICC altogether, which various anti-UN folk do. It's quite another to suggest that everyone but you be subject to it, support it for everyone else, and essentially bribe other nations to grant exceptions. You can't have it both ways, or at least shouldn't. Do I think the ICC is a good idea? I don't know. I really don't know enough about it, neither in procedure nor in what kinds of things it claims jurisdiction over. I don't know what kinds of abuses its vulnerable to. However, it seems likely to me that whatever the issues are, it's not going to just be the U.S. that might have issues with the specifics. So fix them, or don't support it! Sheesh! Philosophy was interesting, as usual. I finally found the mailing list for the group, and signed up for it. W00t. Howard Dean is all the rage among Democrats, and is bringing new hope to liberals everywhere. More importantly, he's not afraid of naming people in the Democratic party who he thinks have sold out. If he doesn't run with someone insane, he gets my vote. I just need to figure out how to register. Heck, I might donate some money to his campaign. I'd do just about anything to get BushJr (pretzels be unto him) out of office. I'm so excited about this virtual server thing. Yeah!! Zzzzzz | |
