Fired for blogging Deputy Director Magnenat of Kitsap emergency dispatch center is being suspended from his job for blogging about his coworkers (during some union negotiations), calling them self-indulgent and greedy. --Kitsap Sun 11/25/04 So far there's nothing in Google except this article. I call on Scoble to start the ball rolling, especially since it's in his back yard. 2:37:08 PM    comment []  trackback []

Joseph Conrad on the Boer War Now it seems to me that, from the point of view if statecraft,--no war is justifiable which does not solve a question. A war should be a final act,--while this war is an initial act. This is the weak point. It will create a situation of which, unless I am much mistaken, the country will get weary. The victory,--unless it is to be thrown away, --shall have to be followed by ruthless repression. The situation will become repugnant to the nation. Joseph Conrad to E.L Sanderson, 26, October 1899 2:17:55 PM    comment []  trackback []
