Politics and my theoretical age... According to some survey

So what will I write about today? That is the question!

Here is an interesting article on the Haditha scenario which explores some of the shades of gray that tend to be involved events such as these.

A reporter's shock at the Haditha allegations

It is good to see we have reached a point in our progression through civilization where the majority of the masses in the U.S. seem to agree that calling for justice in circumstances such as Haditha is not an act of treason, rather an act of patriotism. Unfortunately scenarios like Haditha are likely a reality of war. As long as there are human components in battles, there are likely to be people who will "lose it" and act in such a blinded manner. While one could definitely make a strong argument that these soldiers who committed this vile act, are in some ways victims themselves, it does not excuse their actions. This appears to be a case of cold blooded murder. If the investigation does prove this, hopefully the men involved will be sent to prison.

There were similar events that occurred in Vietnam which were often met by claims that they were lies by communist sympathizers or that even if they may be true, just mentioning them served as a dis-service to the Nation.

If anything is a dis-service to our nation it would be allowing such events to occur. We need the Iraqi people on our side, and civilian casualties must be minimized. We need to strike down any U.S. service men & women who act counter to this goal, because they are playing into the hands of the insurgency if they give into their need for vengeance.

Positive spin for new wind-farm plan

So basically when the wind farm isn't within view of their property, politicians support it. Instead put it in front of middle class blue collar property... That's where it belongs with the peasant scum. Why do people keep re-electing the Kennedy's? My thoughts are they put the wind turbines by the Cape and Buzzard's bay and create 2X the clean energy. Unless you are way out in the ocean they aren't going to have much of an effect on the view. And besides what is more important pollution or whether you have barely visible blips on your distant horizon? Come on people!

I don't know too much about this issue honestly, but it seems like a no brainer, that the further out to see it is, the better it would be. Stronger winds, less visibility, more space, less likely to interfere with birds, etc, etc. Who knows. I understand guards have been developed out in Nevada to protect the birds, can those and will those be used here? I suppose the areas that can be used are probably limited based on the depth of water, etc.

The latest B.S. quiz :D, although I dig being in the mid 20s still. Limited choices as usual... No Beatles on the greatest band ever? Blasphemy.

You Are 25 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.
