TO MY TRAVEL INSURANCE AGENT:

On my tombstone I would like the standard plastic display case
DVD_dispenser, with my Collected Websites.
The cemetary reading room will, of course, sell the standard
Pez_case 100 Gb Flashcards, with the usual Playboy throwaway
laptops.  As Einstein said, there are, thank Heaven, a few
invariants.

The situation in the USA as of 4 Nov '04 invites comparison with
Germany in 1933.  One priority is survive until 2008, but that
will not be an ethical option for everyone.

A PROPHET IS ALWAYS AT A LOSS

Sharon seems to have paniced.  You better call the photographers
and take the poor old duck to jail.  Today.

I guess its time to start boycotting anything made in the USA,
especially stocks and U.S. Bonds.
The Evil Empire has returned, and Junior George is its Prophet.
The peoples of the world are again on the verge of a completely
unnecessary world war, this time between empowered cliques of
Christian facists and Islamic facists.  With Israel as hostage to
both.

SHRINK-WRAPPED CRAP:

Israel should start to dissociate itself from the USA politically,
culturally, and economically, and should seek rapprochement, as a
neutral Jewish democracy, with the other nations, especially
Islamic, of the Mediterranean__MidEast region.
Moral leadership has passed from the USA to Europe.

Evidently the IHT sometimes tendenciously edits Readers' submitted
letters.

IHT 8 Nov '04
    
I have not recevied a copy of the IHT since the U.S. Elections.  I
assume this is for the following reason:
(1)  The IHT is a distillation of the N.Y. Times
(2)  The motto of the N.Y. Times is: "All the News that' s fit to
Print."
(3) Since George Bush Jr. was re-elected, the news ain't fit to
print.

"... OF THEIR PLANET"

The time has come for all good (wo)men to seriously consider
disinvesting from U.S. Bonds and Stocks, and to selectively
abstain from buying products made in, or for, the USA.

BUSHIE DEMOCRACY

The Bush Administration should stop trying to export democracy,
and start importing it.


(This is my first, preliminary, attempt to comes to terms with the
Bush defeat of Kerry.  It seems that Kerry ran a classical
campaign in the spirit of Jeffersonian democracy, campaiging
rationally on the issues; and that whatever groups use Bush as
their front-man ran in effect an advertising campaign.  And that
this has been the Republican approach since the 1950s ..
hucksterism.  In Spinoza's terms, an appeal to (dark) passion, not
to true emotion, much less intellect.  A narrow majority of the US
electorate chose to live in a Comic-Book world rather than face
reality.)

Re:  Aryeh Sullivan 
(An officer in the Israel army is accused of having intentionally
killed a wounded 13 year old girl.  This is termed by some,
"verifying the kill."  The Press reflects national shock.)

Israel, properly, is treating as a moral crisis the sort of
incident that, to our shame as U.S. citizens, was common during
the USA's war on Vietnam.

"DAMNED SMILING VILLAIN"

The present danger is not Arab pseudo-Islamic facism, but the
Bushies' USA pseudo-Christian facism.

In the last election, 50 million Americans chose to live with
George Bush Jr. in a Comic Book World rather than face reality.
