If you mean do I have a substitute for the shifting sands of expedience, then the answer is yes, I do. The solid bedrock of principle.

For my own part, I am building a stairway to the planets and star systems of the universe. Therefore I am not able to build upon the shifting sands of expedience. The difficulties of building any long term structure amidst the interminable and incoherent political change has caused some to cloister themselves in the groves of academe and others to cloister themselves in the cloisters of religion. And still very little progress toward the human settlement of the Solar system has been made.

The path forward has been understood for well over 2,500 years. When mankind are prepared to give up the ring of power, it will cease to corrupt their spirits.

“They’re going to kill you unless you give us money so we can kill them, and if you don’t give us money to give to people who make weapons we also intend to kill you and neglect to kill them, so in total you can have two groups trying to kill you, or you can have both groups trying to kill each other while one group tries to kill you as well and someone else takes your property.” That pretty much sums it up. A whirlwind of fast-talk – it’s no surprise that most can’t keep up with it. The grifter’s false dichotomy, presented with urgency so the victim doesn’t have time to consider a third option.

Of course, you would never do anything to war criminals because you love war. You are a violent person but you are too much of a pussy to do any violence yourself. So you sit in front of your computer moaning about what other people write. And you vote for and pay taxes so that politicians can send young men and women to foreign countries to slaughter children in your name. Right?

Bags of poo? Keying cars? Suggesting to burn someone’s home!? Very sophisticated. Good thing you guys are huuuuuge pussies.

Be nice, though. Candle light vigils you know. Don’t upset his family.

It’s true that not as many US soldiers are dying in Afghanistan as died in Vietnam. But the number of soldiers coming home with brain damage, PTSD, with drug and alcohol addictions, the number of soldiers who end up killing themselves, etc. — these numbers are all astounding. If more people knew about this side of the war, then there’d be more of a push to bring our troops home.
