Random Ramblings
Pro Troops, Anti War, and Patriotic.
November11,2006 16:00 | Permalink
Just a brief reminder: there is no contradiction in
being pro-troop, anti-war and patriotic. Many of the
world's great patriots have been pro-troop and
anti-war. We should support our troops and our
veterans, but war, any war, has a level of hubris
that it's incalculable: regardless of the cause of
conflict - the offensive army strokes its ego
believing it has a justifiable cause; the defensive
army strokes its ego in knowing that an injustice has
come upon them. The hubris is even almost worse if
the defensive side is the looser: it makes many
martyrs.

Ramblin' On or What's in a Location?

We thought all was well, well we were wrong. The
AntiHubris.com Stop The Diatribe Department
(sometimes it seems they are slower than us, what
with the computer problems we had for 15 years and
all), realized that if we continued along the lines
of their suggestion #1 of
the last post (A Place For Ramblin' and Random
Recordin') - our beloved home-page would never load
in even the most super-highspeed-ultra-hyper-fast
internet connection: even w/ archivin' et all, we'd
just babble on too much. Ergo, our Ramblin' and
Recordin' Ramblings were randomly relocated to this
comfy spot (the view is extraordinary! - and it's the
location that was random).
Well, this spot is our permanent musing local, we've done gone and heard that too much relocatin' can break the web - and we don't want all our hard pontificatin' and erudition to go to waste (we fired our old architect... what?... don't worry about the cannon smoke, it'll clear in just a sec).
What's in a location anyway? We like this new permanent place, it was too much pressure being out front and center, the limelight was causing a bit of vertigo, and we can't well ramble on when we can't tell up from down.
Anyway, carry on & enjoy AntiHubris.com in all its splendor!
