What Strega said. I think there's a difference between doing all one can to create cultural change -- such as people outside the U.S. speaking out and engaging in trade sanctions because we still engage in capital punishment--and forcing a country to make cultural change--such as England coming over and entering our prisons and taking them over to stop us. I am outraged and sickened by FGM, but I don't think force is the way to stop it. The question becomes where you draw the line. A majority of Americans believe arranged marriages are wrong. Do we then invade India to end this custom?
Sometimes force is neccessary, like WWII and the genocide in Rwanda, but if we actively engaged in trying to work inside other cultures instead of imposing our will from the ouside with no understanding of the conseuences, we might effect greater and more lasting change in the world.
It burns, doesn't it.
That's between me and my neighbourhood physician.
What you do with your physician is your business.
Bones: I really need to get to sleep -- but I couldn't resist watching the beginning. I associate
Assateague Island with ponies not pirates. . .
I was fairly sure before tonight that
nobody lived on Assateague because it's all a park but that people lived on Chincoteague. . . it's kind of cool to think that Assateague combines Ponies AND Pirates, but I'm wondering (having only seen act 1) how based on fact this episode is.
So my birthday is coming up soon, and I think I'm going to have the ultimate geek party. There's still a Laser Tag arena is Los Angeles. Guess where I'm going to have the party.
On a custom built roller coaster in the laser tag arena?

Is Laser Tag out now? I mean, there's only one?
