Minneapolis "crime scene"

Shortly after the Minneapolis bridge collapse, a local law enforcement official said that they were treating it like a crime scene. Well, it is a crime scene, the criminals are in positions of power, and they have been derelict in their duty to protect innocent citizens.

How do you charge an incompetant official with manslaughter?

Bridge problem solution

Dick Cheney is working on the problem. As soon as he can figure out how to give all the infrastructure maintenance to Halliburton, there will be plenty of money to upgrade and replace bridges. Of course, we will borrow this money from China.

The wolf is at the door. For decades we have squandered our national resources on foolish foreign adventures, and now the neglect of critical domestic infrastructure is going to cause untold grief.

The Minneapolis bridge collapse is a clarion call to warn us of more impending disasters. "therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls" (John Donne). It tolls for each and everyone of us.

War and Peace

 

Senator Barack Obama is being flayed for stating that he would, as his opponents are saying, "talk to our enemies".

I sincerely believe that the most effective way to "defeat" your enemy is to make him your friend.

Only the morally weak prefer to face the "enemy" on the battlefield rather than across the conference table.
