Writing in the Raw: Leave-Your-Facts-at-the-Door-Edition

Hello Diatribe... this is my first post here (and cross-posted at Daily Kos). "Writing in the Raw" is something I started as a way of letting out ideas that happen somewhat spontaneously and are minimally processed. Thanks to Kerry for inviting to this site and hello!

Writing in the Raw...

Facts... silver bullets in the war against the ignorant, the uninformed, and the intolerant.

Sam Keen on War

The Human Spirit-A Sunday Morning Meditation

First, an apology to all who were offended by my inclusion of James Webb in my diary about the traitors among us.  It was unfair to paint Webb with that brush, though I remain disappointed in his vote on Feingold-Reid.  I did put up a disclaimer but was remiss in waiting overnight to do so, so many didn’t see it.  I repeat it here in the form of a mea culpa and general all round apology.  I do get carried away sometimes.

*NOTE:  I acknowledge that the use of the term traitor as specifically applied to Jim Webb is excessive.  Nevertheless, I still feel betrayed by him.  The main point of this diary though is not Jim Webb, but all politicians who use and abuse those who support them.

And now, today’s diary...
