Journal Mike Hawk's Journal: This, that and the other 4
First, its now been 57 days since Sen. Kerry promised on national television to sign Form 180. At this point, its been so long that it can only demonstrate that he is really stupid and should have just signed it or there is actually something really bad in there.
Second, today's Best of the Web.
The thing about liberalism is that it never stops. It grows constantly, often for the sake of growth alone.
First unborn babies weren't human. Now if you are in a "persistent vegatative state" you aren't human. Luckily, I am an able-bodied young man of sound mind so I still have a choice between two parties. If I had a disability of any kind I just don't see how I could vote democrat. You may be the next to be ruled (by royal judicial decree) less than human. I'm buying myself a helmet tonight. I wouldn't want to enter even a temporary vegatative state lest I become the next poster child of the progressive movement.
"The vast majority of human beings are persons, because they exhibit the qualities generally thought to be characteristic of persons: intelligence, autonomy, self-awareness, emotion, future-regarding intentions, and moral responsibility, among others." -bioethics professor Andrew Johnson
I wonder what would Professor Johnson would have done to people who are not sufficiently self-aware. Maybe make them watch the Matrix and if they don't get it they should be locked in a room and starved to death. Holy shit, I don't wear my emotions on my sleeve, I better lay low before I am declared a non-person. Mike Hawk out.

Now, on the global scale, based on your current journals about surrender, I'd say you've lost. And based on your writing, you know it.

I mean, if dirty tricks and tactics are like, shining even the faintest most simple scrutiny to your comments, then you must be joking.
And what do you presume to have been stopped from? Certainly you can and do continue to make comments such as [slashdot.org]...
which side has more compassion? (Score:1)
It does seem, though, that the "religious right," for better or worse, has supplanted the liberal left as the political faction that most strongly and consistently advocates compassion in social policy.
An interesting supposition. Is it really true? What I can think of off the top of my head:
