Time for a Change

We think we have said about all there is to say for now, so we have decided to take a new approach.

After all, Japan just announced that it has a level 7 disaster.  We called it a 6.5 and rising over 3 weeks ago.  Since then, we learned that Greenpeace called it a 7 at about the same time.  Here, however, there are at least 4, maybe 6, in trouble.  Does that make it a 28?  Japan tells us they will have it under control “by the end of the year.”  You may be interested to know that there are “only” less than 100 other reactors on or by earthquake fault-lines.

If we really want to protect human rights and civilians in the middle east, the countries, in order, that we need to deal with are Israel, Bahrain, Yemen, Egypt (again), Tunisia (again), Algeria, Morrocco, Libya, and then Syria.  It will not happen.  Why not a “no-fly” zone over Gaza?

When the mess started in Libya, I said Gaddafi would not go.  Everyone else said he would.  He is still there.  Now, a multinational force is being assembled to attack.  He will not go.

There are other things, but they all remind me of Thoreau’s point that once you know the pattern, what need is there of more examples?  Besides, the examples are fleeting.

So, in the next few issues, at least, I expect to be posting things of most lasting value and, in fact, quality.

Watch this spot.
