well, i guess i'm back

well, i guess i'm back to only occasional postings. i've been working hard at my job though, so i guess it balances out. does anyone else feel like there is just a severe lack of information about the whole 9-11/afgahnistan thing? i keep waiting for something dramatic to happen, and nothing seems to. i'm also a little confused about when we became so concerned about civilian casualties. did we have this same concern during wwii? no. we bombed the hell out of dresden, and many other cities in germany, and the germans bombed the shit out of london. it seems that if we are going to be at war, we should be at war. i mean were we concerned about civilian casualties when we bombed hiroshima and nagasaki? i'm not advocating attacking civilians, but i think we need to be aware that trying to avoid "collateral damage" will make this a nearly unwinnable war. i don't know if most americans really realize this.

anyhow, my life continues like normal, except that i'm no longer opening up any bills, on the assumption that nsp, and qwest might be sending me anthrax. we'll see how long they let me get away with using that excuse.:)

i went to the fargo theater on saturday and saw a clockwork orange. i had a great time. i think the thing that is most disturbing about that movie is that in the first half, you almost start to think that what he is doing is ok. the violence is so horrific, and yet i wasn't repulsed by it, and that is was is so repulsive. what an incredible movie.
