No ambivalence about ??





This is where it gets hairy. A comment on the library website was are you now getting addicted to blogging? Well, yes and no.
I like my other blog better, but because of the requirement I am going to continue on rare occasions.

Political blog?
....Maybe!
Family blog? No.

Inquisitive blog,
Inquisition blog? ...
Funny how these words are related.
If you are curious it is good, but not under an inquisition!

Water boarding - that is not a torture measure?
Water boarding could be "surf boarding", but in this case
the directions in the torture manual does call for
measures that cannot really be detected.

I thought the Geneva conventions were still the norm
to which all civilized nations subscribed, I guess not.
The US is as civilized as I thought. Alas.
