Scary stuff… The first ammendment now no longer counts unless you work for one of the big media outlets. I'm not even kidding. They just gave a seventy year old man LIFE IN PRISON (until he confesses and recants anyway) because he wrote a series of Internet published articles (and therefore not “real” news I guess) probing corruption and discrimination at an old age home.

It always surprises people when I tell them that I read Patrick Buchanan's column regularly. Obviously I usually come to very different conclusions than he does, but he raises points that I appreciate. This week he calls for an end to the Cuba embargoes, and it made me wonder — is Cuba to Russia what Israel is to America? If Russia was pulled down in part by overextending itself to Cuba, will America fall because of overextending itself to Israel? (And on that, I wonder if they'll try ex-president Carter for treason for his Cuba comments?)
Quicky: Oh, and make sure you read this — I think it's very telling.
Quicky: I also found this article on how the Indian army is using ancient poems about warfare to rediscover lost knowledge and get an advantage… I was going to look up “Arthashastra” on amazon and get you a link, but thanks to being stock on a Rogers Cable modem, I can't access amazon today. Thanks!
