"What effect must it have on a nation if it learns no foreign languages? Probably much the same as that which a total withdrawal from society has upon an individual." --G.C. Lichtenberg
Steven Baum over at Ethel the Blog absolutely destroys the idea that Al Quaeda's (or whoever's) killing a few dogs means they're the most evillest thing on the planet:
While we have videotape of evil evil evil blah blah fucking blah Osama or whoever killing a few dogs, the U.S. military spends $180 million to kill over half a million dogs, cats, etc. each and every goddamned year. Anyone who weeps for Osama's ostensible canine victims while rationalizing the military's dog holocaust as somehow vital for the survival of the pitiful, helpless giant in the big, mean, Islamofascist world has, to put it bluntly, their head so far up their ass that it's going to meet itself in some topological nightmare scenario that would give Escher the heebie-jeebies. posted by David at 8/21/2002 10:02:00 AM ::
