Just want to rant for a second. One of the justifications my mother gave for voting for Obama was that he gave a speech against the Iraq war. I replied that he was an opportunist politician, implying that he had no real intentions of ending any war. I stand correct, though I have no opposition to increasing troops in Iraq or Afghanistan. My official position is that Iraq, and possibly Afghanistan, should become independent colonies of the United States; like Puerto Rico or South Korea - and that an increase of troops is appropriate to secure this. And; that we should never have gone to war originally.
TODO - I will likely blog about the following in the near future: inheritance, meritocracy, and capitalism; guilt, debt, and politics; Orwellian redefinitions, especially with regards to capitalism and bailouts.
Though I am hoping that one of my resources will beat me to the punch and save me the effort.
