9/19    "[T]here is a minority of intellectual pacifists whose real though
unadmitted motive appears to be hatred of western democracy and admiration of
totalitarianism. Pacifist propaganda usually boils down to saying that one
side is as bad as the other, but if one looks closely at the writings of
younger intellectual pacifists, one finds that they do not by any means
express impartial disapproval but are directed almost entirely against Britain
and the United States. Moreover they do not as a rule condemn violence as
such, but only violence used in defence of western countries." -George Orwell,
"Notes on Nationalism," 1945.
        \_ Yes, my real motive is hatred of Western democracy and
           admiration of totalitarianism.
           \_ It said "minority of .." though, since you are a dumb pacifist
              I guess i shouldn't be able to expect you to read.
              \_ George Orwell needs a writing and "clear thinking" class.
                 \_ Yes, in 1945, Britain is still a imperialist country
                    ruling its colonies in a totalitarian manner.
                    Obviously, George Orwell supports Britain irregardless of

                    whether it is a imperialistic country or not.
                     \_ no, you are both morons.  George Orwell is arguably the
                        greatest essayist of this century.  He wrote extensively
                        and honostly about Britain's Imperialism.  You two are
                        ignorant idiots.  (and cowards, like me).

                    it is a imperilistic country or not.
                     \_  Somone asked if there was a URL (I assume they wanted

        \_ Yay! I look forward to 4 more years of doing absolutely nothing.
           It's a much better outcome than the alternative, which is 4 years
           of regress.

           but I guess that makes as much sense anything else.

5/16    Can anyone tell me what Greece is hoping for by rejecting austerity?
        From here it seems like the austerity is a pretty generous attempt
        to keep Greece from imploding entirely.   Are they hoping the
        Germans will put them on eternal state welfare, or what?
        Also, why would an outright default mean they must leave the Euro?
        Is it just that they won't be able to pay basic gvmt services

2/26    I have dual citizenship. If I leave US and enter country Z, is
        there a way I can make the immigration booth "stamp" both passports
        (not necessarily stamp, but electronically record) such that both
        countries know that I left US for country Z. Then, when I depart
        country Z and head back to US, only provide the US passport? I'd
        like to do this so country Z thinks that I am permanently residing
