#1 Thank you for the devotion to the cause of reason. Your focus on the extraordinary violence in Mexico and in Thailand among a steadily growing number of places is one of the very few sources available to Americans about the reality of the world in which we live. Despite constant shrill propaganda about war on terror we have not focused our energy or attention on how to respond to a threat that will only grow over the next few decades no matter how many half-assed "wars" we fight, squandering our resources while pandering to the surrender-monkeys who dominate our universities and the press they have educated into imbecility. |
