Ship Log Entry Alwadi Al Gadeed, Alexandria - PM Ship Log Entry APL Sweden, Singapore - AM, PM Ship Log Entry APL Sweden, Singapore - PM Ship Log Entry Manulani, Honolulu - AM, PM Ship Log Entry Hanjin Bremen, Ship Log Entry Maui, Honolulu - AM Conversation Over. It seems that George is not fooling anybody. His declaration on May 1, 2003 was that the "major combat" was over. This seems to have led some to believe that the war itself was over. These small handful of opinions seem to show that not everyone was fooled by nonsense rhetoric. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/2987264.stm I wonder when this country is going to start holding it's leaders up to a higher moral standard. Actually, it's not only this country, it is others as well. Not many globally active members of our world society, but still. Look at the president of Liberia, for instance. Indicted on War Crimes, egotisctical, etc. It's enough to make one conservative... sheesh. Monday, June 16 2003Ship Log Entry APL Belgium, Singapore - PM Pants on Fire. http://www.house.gov/reform/min/inves_admin/admin_nuclear_evidence.htm Deciet, lies, evil, corruption, greed. And that's only the beginning. The way that we have found to convince people to fight for some kind of truly moral conflict, is to lie to them. I'm surprised I haven't thought of it first myself. I heard somewhere recently that the way to win an argument is to change the truth to suit your needs. How appropriate. I wonder why the world exists with these people in it. Do they serve to remind us all about the idiosyncrasies in the human condition? Maybe that's it. Their suffering and toil and errors illuminate the way for the remainder of the human population. I guess in that manner they do us all a bit of good. Thanks, George. Sunday, June 15 2003Fraudulent Leadership. We are taught early on that leadership is a trait that is somewhat synonymous with honesty, integrity, and perhaps even morality. When faced with glaring incongruities on the decisions and facts presented to the public by the leadership of our country, these qualities come into question. When seeing the corruption, greed, and guilty pleads by the leaderships of the corporations, these qualities are doubted heavily. Truly, I propose to change the definition in the dictionary from "guidance; direction" to "engaging in fraud; deceitful." I think that the youth of our nation would more likely be able to identify those they call 'leaders' today. Thursday, June 05 2003Gone Fishing. Videos of Saddam's family and his family celebration are the latest hit at Blockbuster Iraq. The people can't get enough of the monster's ball. After a tight lid on the dictator's family life, this leaks out, and all the people want to see it. Debunking favorite movies from playlists like Rambo. How does that work, exactly? No, kids, Rambo is just a movie. But this asshole Saddam, you better be careful. No, he's the one with the baby bouncing on his knee. "Gratuitous violence only happens on television, children. Say, have you seen our neighbors? No, the ones on the other side. Not the ones that disappeared last month, silly, the other ones." Monday, June 02 2003False Memory. The other day, I heard a rumor (that's all it was) from one of my friends. "The war's been over," she says, like I've been living in a hole for a few weeks. It's as if all things have ceased existing in the same plane for a few moments, as if our parallel lives collided breifly before we resumed our mutually exclusive world views. Then I looked. And I searched. And I dug around some more. NOWHERE on the internet could I find a statement from any person of our government declaring the war to be over. No news service has any official release by any house of any color (or lack thereof) on the topic. In curbing my wrath, I find it sad that someone could think that this nasty, disgusting part of our nation's identity would just go away if not payed attention to. |
