Like Ann Coulter, people seem afraid to call him on his excesses.

And, btw, jerry is one of the nicest guys on this thread.

Reread what I'm saying. Are you saying this violence has something to do with signing treaties with Egypt and Jordan.

 Did they invade Egypt and Jordan killing the citizenry to get those treaties?  Just curious.

Is this an improvement?

Lots of people work CIA and if you were to interview hate groups here they too would uniformly want to harm someone yet they haven't destroyed the US or Israel or anyone else.

Nobody is denying that Israel has enemies who hate her. That factoid does not give Israel license to kill everyone in the vacinity.

Alright I confess. This is why I was LOL.

I'd say Rice's mission just went down the tubes and Israel just lost the war.

Israel is overwhelmingly superior militarily.  What Israel is losing is its legitimate right to exist because it is no longer acting like a country but rather a cult of violence.  If nothing can ever be resolved diplomatically then you have no country. 

And when you invade a country like Lebanon who is not hostile toward you but rises up to die fighting your incursion then you are creating hero stories that will last for centuries that will not be kind to your children.

Hey, I just wanted the thread updates showing up in my account.

C'mon jerry, I have my own formula for ratings but I don't want to talk about it because it will just start a firestorm odf controversy that I have no interest in discussing.

A 0 to mean just means obvious, worthless, or works to adjust an overly inflated estimation of a posting. But it means other things as well, like LOL.

I watched Condi explain the US position on CNN today.

The US has no role in this except to stare from the sidelines. Rice has been promoted from her cameo appearnces as Amelda Marcos shopping for shoes to token American cheerleader.

As usual she is lousy at that as well. Her act today included blowing smoke up the world's ass about not wanting a ceasefire because quite frankly none is coming no matter what she said. She's running hard to get in front of the parade of blood.

It would be good for her to have a powerful Republican voice like Lieberman's backing her.

Was Lieberman really at risk in the general election?

LOL.

I'm a sometimes artist as well as what I do at other times. When I was in Art school the epiphany that broadened my outlook on creating art was the assertion by my instructor that artists are creating a [in my case] visual language.

My example of pointing out that language changes, was intended to imply that language expresses ideas. I don't want to get hung up on cosmetics.

What has been proven in physics that as we peer into the depths of our atomic world, physics is not the same down there as it is here. Books like Information,The New Language of Science by Hans Christian von Baeyer explains that what is happening to humankind at this point in history is completely new.

Knowledge is doubling exponentially quickly, even faster. This is not just speed, this is a cumulative saturation that renders all our instincts about knowing obsolete. And the examination of everything we know is being turned on its head all the time.

And, despite your reservations, we are already wired with the first symptoms being post-modern information load. Walk into a bar and multiple televisions blast the senses.

I humbly submit that you are misinterpretting the scope and importance of our first glimpses of a radically different future in our lifetimes (which may last forever).
