This is one of those ideas that is *really* hard for a lot of people to accept. When an oppressed group mocks the oppressor, even though it may not be appropriate or polite, it NEVER carries the same amount of weight as when the oppressor mocks the oppressed.

It's hard for me to understand why it should be such a priority to determine how to interrogate people 'humanely' (what an oxymoron) and not a priority to focus that energy on finding ways to live that don't require that we interrogate people. Why keep focusing our attention on updating the rules of war instead of working out ways to live in peace??

Sound familiar anyone? If it doesn't, get our your frickin history books and start getting familiar!

I get her point, but I didn't think of the movie Super Size Me as a serious commentary on the nature and experience of obesity in America. Having had the experience of being 'big' (or bigger than most people I knew), I realize that size discrimination is extremely prevalent in American society. However, I just didn't expect that much from this particular film.

That's so GAY :)

An interesting point about both parties responses to the Swift Boat melodrama.

This post has no relevance other than the fact that it supports people following their dreams.

Speaking of dreams - here's a great website with lots of links to all things Buffy and Angel!
