Reconstruction of going to the Met. erased it by mistake. Picture of oranges by the cashier on the roof of the Met. 2:28:47 AM    comment []

From Kottke an 8th grade final exam from 1895, Salina, Kansas. I looked at it quickly and am not sure if I could get a great mark on it, especially in the time limits of the exam. 2:21:17 AM    comment []

Went to see Farenheit 9/11. I thought it was better than Bowling for Columbine. It was like preaching to the choir, but I hope that some of the undecided voters go to see it and think about where we (the US) is in the world, why the world is not a safer place now that it was on September 11, 2001. Every time I hear a member of the administration tell me that we are safer now than we were when Saddam Hussein was in power I am reminded of the closing scene of Bloody Sunday, the docu-drama about the British massacre in Londonderry, Northern Ireland in 1972. In this scene the MP who organized the peace march that was fired upon by the British Army says something to the effect that... "the British do not know what they have just wrought. All across Ireland thousands of young men, young men who would never have thought of doing so, are lining up, joining the IRA and being given guns and explosives." And so it is in the Middle East. We are not a safer place now, in fact I feel that we are in a much more dangerous place. 1:30:25 AM    comment []
