Unlike me, who seems to be posting small tiny ravings multiple times a day, Bill posts rarely, but its always worth the read.
This one is on the concept of Sanctuary and how terrorists violate that.
Here are some great lines:
If producing humiliation and fear is now to be defined as “torture,” what international human rights organization will be appointed to help the surviving readers of _The New York Times)?
armies of useful idiots with television cameras and microphones and Expensive Hair
Civilizations fall because they become so successful that their citizens become, over many generations of increasing security and prosperity, further and further away from the reality of the human condition.
Reality has not been kind to far leftists, historically, as we shall soon see. Like many in the deepest, most pleasant and safe confines of our Sanctuary, they have never had a chance to see – or have chosen not to see -- the reality of human nature up close and personal. Reality told them it was just going to the bathroom, when in point of fact Reality left these Leftists alone at the table without paying the check, and it hasn’t returned their phone calls, either.

Again. left right discussion that muddles reality and refuses to look at corporate/financial power.
the fact is nobody knows anything about human nature. the most obvious facts are consciousness,choice,physical needs and emotive drives, but all ethical, moral, and potential possibilities of human sentiment are still very vague and debatable. Making such an argument really says more about the authors internal sentiments than it does for an objective account of a universal human nature.
