Interesting that war and even altruism can so easily be a function of whether or not travel is economical.
My attitude to this potential war is caution. I have some good friends in the military, both active and reserve, and I don't want to see them hurt or killed.
I do think the government is trying to be careful about this--if they weren't, we would be fighting, already. I've got the impression that they've done a psych profile of Saddam Hussein, and I think they've all studied their Art of War well enough to know that, given what I suspect Hussein's psych profile is, I think they will do everything they can to give him an out. Hussein strikes me as being a very dangerous man unless he's given some kind of escape route.
::sigh:: We'll see what happens.
I spent last night and today working on a surprise for a certain lovely lady named Morgana. (g) I hope I can get it done in time to present it to her in
It looks like Klarah Harris has been convicted of murder. Her lawyer did not try for a temporary insanity defense. The lawyer has instead gone for a crime of passion defense, which would mitigate Harris' sentence, somewhat.
I would be agreeable to that, if I were on the jury. I don't believe that Harris is a danger to society--though I sure as heck would never date her, if I were a man. I don't want people who have been cheated on to get the idea that they can murder cheating spouses or lovers with impunity, but I do believe that life imprisonment is too harsh a sentence. I'll be interested to see what happens with this.
I think it's time for me to head to bed, now. Good night, everyone!
