Possumblog

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.

I think The Avalon Project at the Yale Law School is the finest source for online historical documents, from the Code of Hammurabi all the way up to documents from this year dealing with the September 11 attack.

The reason I bring this up is pretty selfish. I am just really tired of reading longwinded moronic twaddle from supposedly well-rounded, well-educated Blogospherians who have obviously never really read anything pertinent on what it means to be an American. Maybe I'm wrong, but I really think if you're going to discuss freedom and liberty and armed struggle and human rights and the role of government, it might be good to have read things such as the Federalist Papers, or browsed through the Papers of the Continental Congress, or taken a few days and absorbed The American Crisis by Thomas Paine.
