On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

It's a cross-border issue. Therefore, should we be surprised by this news?

Noting a different Canadian centennial at the moment...

Listening to this on the radio right now:

Needing to think through the implications raised by the discussions aired today...

I think I'm going to the Ottawa edition starting at our local City Hall this morning. If I can get my housechores done fast enough. Which means no more posting here this AM. If I understand the Facebook event posting correctly, this is part of the process of setting up for another event in March.

See you later, I expect.

And now I wonder if this aspect of things was also planned.

In any case, I find it disturbing.

Thanks to Johanna Draper-Carlson for the pointer to that list! I'll be interested to see how the voting and debate plays out...

That crap like this continues in this day and age...when we're still in Afghanistan to help the Afghani people secure all of their human rights(among other genuine reasons and hidden rationales)...dammit. This is the kind of crap that makes us look like hypocrites.

Complete hypocrites.

This cannot stand.

ruckawriter calls it a proof that Hannah Arendt was right about the banality of evil. kadymae is simply in a "nuclear" rage over it.

Neither of them are wrong.

"And we shall dare to be angry about the things that are truly evil."
- Leslie Charteris

Let us dare.

Update: The lady's lawyer - already suffering for his part in defending her - continues to dare greatly himself.
