Eric Margolis. One of the only journalists I have ever admired for his courage and intestinal fortitude. Almost everything he writes I find I agree with, and that is significant for someone as contentious as me.
I'm too tired to get into a big rant right now, so I will give the link to his recent story instead (click this blog entry's title), along with a couple of brief statements of my own..
Israel - as a nation you are morally bankrupt. The sins committed against Jews in the past can in no way justify your actions of the last 40+ years any more than the perceived wrongs done to Germany after World War I can justify what they did in World War II.
Palestine - please, stop killing yourselves to try and get your rights and your land back, and begin massive peaceful protests. Put the guns away and sit down. Anywhere and everywhere.
About Me
- PolarBear
- Appearance:I'm a big fat white ornery critter.
Family: Married. 2 kids (1 F & 1 M)
Beliefs: I attempt to follow the philosophy of Buddhism. Although I believe the original philosophy of Christianity was sound, organized religions have largely turned it into a politicized tool to advance their own agendas. The Bible is a good storybook with some good ideas, but it was written by men with all their inherent flaws and prejudices.
Life Philosophies: Honesty is paramount. Do what you enjoy as long as it does not harm others. Life is for living, because everyone dies. Darwinism should never be legislated against - if people are stupid enough to damage themselves foolishly, why should the government interfere?
