Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- The Liberal Conspiracy To Help Radical Islam Take Over America – Shoot! Laura’s onto us! Run!
- Mississippi School Reverses Policy That Allowed Only Whites To Be Class President – Even if one is charitable about the intent behind the policy, it was a horrible idea, and poorly implemented to boot. There are other ways to approach the problem.
- Whooping Cough On The Rise? Blame Dead Children On Anti-Vaccination Activists – I hope they’re happy, the idjits.
- Penzey’s Now Open on Pearl – We’ve visited the Littleton pair on multiple occasions. Yum.
- Please Don’t Go On – “Al Qaida attacked a symbolic representation of the USA in the form of the World Trade Center, and that representation is chiefly composed of an openness in which people of various backgrounds and beliefs live side by side without significant tension or conflict. The Islamists were attacking that openness in the name of a narrow, sectarian, authoritarian vision, so inasmuch as American Muslims partook of it, they were legitimate targets. Now, the USA’s loudest self-labeled proponents are responding forcefully — by attacking a building for the way it symbolizes an openness they find threatening to the narrow, sectarian, authoritarian vision they prefer.”
- Groupthink Part 4: Overestimating the Group’s High Moral Stance – “Nobody is exempt from the danger of Groupthink. Whoever tries to enforce lockstep agreement is, really, creating a monster that will do great harm and devour the weak and helpless.” Yup. A zillion cases through history (and today).
