Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

The Objective Thing
Ken Layne with some conclusions gained from a few walks around the block:
Those who blow themselves up to kill as many civilians as possible aren't just terrorists. At that point, they're Devils. They're Devils like the Devils who flew planes into the WTC and Pentagon.

I don't need to be a Jew to be outraged and repulsed by this kind of primitive bullshit. Americans aren't a race; they're a Nation. I couldn't tell you my full family tree even if you offered me delicious money. Got some English and French and Irish and American Indian and African slave in there and God knows what else. Who cares?

The only thing I believe in is Liberty and basic human decency. I don't believe in Jeebus and I don't mind if you do. And I'm not gonna kill you if you want to worship Allah, Yahweh, Buddha or Boba Fett. But I will defend those who believe in Liberty. It's the only goddamned thing that matters. Whether it's East Timor or the Czech Republic or Mexico or Mars, I'll side with Liberty. I could give a fuck if that means Jewish.

Anybody who thinks it's cute to blow up children and call it politics doesn't deserve to play the game. That goes for Tim McVeigh, ETA, the IRA and the PLO.
