I haven't been posting much: outside discussions of the world cup there haven't been many fights I've wanted to join.
More soon. Maybe Ingres, or Leonard Cohen and his fans.

File under Summer Repeats:

1 My father always said the end of student deferment ended the Vietnam War. Now the flight of 'moderate' republicans will defeat the Bush agenda. The democrats are too compromised by politics and their faith in democracy [their fear of the will of the people] to actually fight for anything resembling a belief, even when the numbers are on their side.

2 And again they miss the point. The problem with the Brights is that they oppose faith in god with faith in themselves. Animals are machines that are capable of self-deception. A computer can not fool itself. Brights begin with a false analogy.
