Nov. 29 - Time to cast votes in The Truth Laid Bear: The New Weblog Showcase. It tends to take me awhile, because if I like the entry, I also read other posts on the blog.

Let's start with Politics Trumps Morals from Joe's Thoughts A lot more people not only in the US but around the world need to consider his point, especially as Iraqis are being targeted too. After all, a sizeable segment of the anti-war folks (and most especially those human shields who lit out after it looked like it might really be dangerous) claimed they were concerned about the lives of the innocent Iraqis.

Next is An open letter to Michael Parenti written on the occasion of a speech delivered in Edmonton, and which has an interesting response to non-interventionist policies. Even though he considers the US the "most dangerous rogue state," falls back to the corporate elite mantra, and fails to address the inadequacy (which translates to unwillingness) of the rest of the world to stop genocides except to believe the USA should provide the fighting force and spill the blood that Enlightened Ones won't, Nathan at Counteractually Speaking is thinking beyond a typical knee jerk responses and that's always a good thing. There's also a link to Michael Parenti's response.

BaySense suggests we re-think the approach to the environment agenda. I agree with his goal: I support many of the goals of environmentalists, but do not support their methodology and political extremism. Like too many other good intentions, this is one that has been hi-jacked for political reasons and thus the goals have been to get politicans elected (or not elected) rather than achieve anything to do with the environment. It will be interesting to see how his blog proceeds.
