Anniversary

Well, it didn’t take much to black out my site for this blackest of days.
Today marks the anniversary of one of two fairly big shocks in my life, one shared with the entire country, one very personal, during the fall of ‘01 (I think I’ll let the second slide by in a week or so without comment). It also began a very dark period that didn’t end, really, until my diagnosis of and treatment for sleep apnea in ‘04. Oh, there were bright spots, usually involving my motorcycle. Hey, we all have our crutches. Some people have religion, I have my motorcycle.
Even if there is never another attack on U.S. soil, it’s safe to say that the terrorists have won. And we let them. We let them change our society and culture forever. Personally it’s been a long walk out of the darkness even as the country around us continues to slide into shadow.
Crikey, that was almost poetic.

Scott Adams sums up my views on conflict perfectly (emphasis mine): “Now, since I know from the comments that many of my readers are – inexplicably – also troglodytes, allow me to include a disclaimer here. I’m way more hawkish than you are. It just doesn’t look that way because my thinking is that if a bully punches you, you should run away. Later, when he’s asleep, put a bullet in his head and leave the gun in his little brother’s crib so it looks like a sibling squabble. In other words (again, for the troglodytes) being tough doesn’t require being stupid. It’s totally optional.”

“If you happen to not like our beliefs, you can shut up, stop your bitching and pray to the sky, or whatever other ineffective ritual you do to get your pitiful, invisible gods attention. Amen.”
Oh, SNAP.

WTF? A Darth Maul Transformer? Does it break in half at the waist? Well, hell, why don’t we just do a Darth Vader Transformer, too?
To echo Greg Storey, Tard Wars indeed.

The false fight between fun and business

On Signal vs. Noise: “Having fake fun outlets won’t help either. Goofy Friday outfits or a monthly karaoke night are not a suitable substitutes for letting fun be a part of every day work.”
