Lot of good it's doing me right now, eh? My foray back into software consulting work is consuming all my time, energy and focus. There have been some slam-bang wonderful debates going on here among Book's readers, and I'd love to participate but I'd have to read deeply and think deeply, and I can't seem to manage the time right now. So I am enjoying perusing the debate points, which is all the time I have. Ymar (#8)

I’ll certainly take a look at the Weber book.

Weber's a good primer to go with your recent firearms owning training and articles on being armed. The subject isn't non-fiction but religious schisms. You can find more details at my site here, where I explicated an interview by Weber. http://ymarsakar.wordpress.com/2007/12/01/interview-with-david-weber-on-off-armageddon-reef/ If you've read it already, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the subject.

This way I won't be possessed by the demon of Hope and be disappointed. I'm going for eXtreme Lowballing here. That way, anything bad that happens I can always tell myself, in 2009, "it could be worse". I’m going to continue believing in the worst about Obama until he proves otherwise.

They will pick on the low hanging fruit. If you are strong, ruthless, and have shown a capability to crush all opposition, like Obama, then they will treat you with respect, love, and adoration. If you are weak and actually believe in helping the powerless and the downtrodden, Book, then they know that you are someone they can use and manipulate. THen they will be coming for you, the UN bureaucrats, peacekeepers, and reporters. THe UN are like our Main Sewer Media, Book. They will pick on the low hanging fruit.

This is the first time that I have seen this observation. By trying to be an integrated society and being imperfect, Israel is castigated in ways that truly oppressive tyrannical nations are not. Yet another "hate the UN" moment. Spot on Book!
