My "I" is constantly changing (perhaps this is merely AD/HD): overdetermined nexus of cultural forces emanating from several continents: skeptical of all Truths and seeker of the truth: iconoclast by enculturation, brain chemistry, and, perhaps, choice: perpetually perplexed, particularly about why we exist/ as the manifestation of overdetermined forces whose existence (and nature) is not as solid (or simplistic) as we would like.

Shame on You CBS News

I just heard the most disgusting bit of hate mongering propaganda parading as news on the CBS Evening News. Whoever wrote the piece trying to draw a correlation between "liberal immigration policies" and today's bombings in London should be summarily fired. It is the sort of b.s. that should be reserved for Fox News. You would think that the number of Muslim immigrants to Britain is directly correlated to the number of bombings in Britain. In fact, the British did have a problem with bombings in the past, but it was not from Muslim immigrants, but from the Irish Republican Army, which is itself a product of Britain's racist and colonial treatment of the Irish (and the divide and conquer strategy that created strife in Northern Ireland, as well as in many other parts of the globe). Where is Dan Rather when you need him? Shame on you CBS News.
