  In which I coin a neologism
8:15 Monday meeting.

Why, for god's sake? Until well after the first three cups of coffee, no one can be expected to remember what the heck they did last week (yet), or can quite imagine what horrors this week holds in store.

I figured it out, though. We 'preflect' on the week ahead.

Preflection. I cannot for the life of me understand why corporate America hasn't already embraced this term.

  I feel another war coming on...
Sad commentary from someone on a local (NC) Green list:

"I feel like the whole country has been polarized by the belief that
there is ONLY two ways of looking at things. It's not popular to
think, in general."

  Why Libertarians should avoid the 'conservative' label - and the 'liberal' label, too
What started off as a simple pointer to an interview and a few words
developed into a regular essay, so I'll just link to it here:

http://lastfreevoice.wordpress.com/2008/08/05/why-libertarians-should-avoid-the-conservative-label-and-the-liberal-label-too/

Here's the gist:

"So whose votes - and whose loyalty - do we get by sticking to the
term - and the ideas behind the term - 'libertarianism'? The answer
sounds tautologous, but here it is: libertarians, of course!"

  chicken/egg
Resuming our boring suburban consumeristic ways, Bill and I went shopping for a belt sander (unsuccessful) and a cheap Chinese buffet (successful). My fortune cookie fortune read "Better to have a hen later than an egg today."

Yes!
 
I let go of the law, and people become honest.
I let go of economics, and people become prosperous.
I let go of religion and people become serene.
I let go of all desire for the common good,
and the good becomes common as grass.
When the will to power is in charge,
the higher the ideals, the lower the results.
- Lao Tzu
