It is a time of freedom and fear, of Gaia and of borders, of many paths and the widening of a universal toll road, emptying country and swelling cities, of the public bought into privacy and the privacy of the public sold into invisible data banks and knowing algorithms. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.

These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread.

Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.


Reason #1450 to Boot Bush: Even Cheney Disagrees With Him

Reason #1450 to Boot Bush

How out of the mainstream is George W. Bush? Even Dick Cheney has publicly concluded that George W. Bush is wrong to support a federal amendment to the Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. But Bush blithely blunders on, heedless to voices of reason even from inside his own party. (Source: Reuters August 24, 2004)

Comments:
Don't kid yourself. Cheney's comments are pure political strategey. Bush is committed to demonizing gays. Cheney is just trying to make the administration look like it has some flexibility without have Dubya reverse his position. Maybe we can do something to win back the Log Cabin Republicans. Remember this is the administration of Doublespeak.
