two or three. hey, everyone is up early today!
in a nutshell, "first" followed a conversation in a pub with another commenter, and won't be repeated.

hey, steady on. did you see the apology/explanation later on?

Ronald Reagan Blog
Sept. 11, 1986. "A city upon the hill." I can't believe those suckers bought that crap.

Mao Tse Tung Blog
March 1. Man. That was a seriously big walk.

Muldoon Blog
Jan. 25. So I said, "what was your name again?" That shut the bastard up. God I hate journalists.

I'm really tempted to make a few unwarranted generalisations about liberals who blame "The System" rather than accept that some people are just evil.
care to generalise why this doesn't happen with frequency in say, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand?
(and apologies for bad typing in previous post).

now if only Stalin or Nixon had blogs....
That could actually work.
Stalin Blog
April 24, 1942. Bit bored today. Drank a little, had some gypies executed.
April 26, 1942. Still bored. Hilter kicking ass in the west, again. I really hate that sneaky little bastard. Although, he does have some good ideas.
April 27, 1942. Some prick said Georgians weren't "real russians". Executed his family.
April 30, 1942. Had some Jews executed.
(Comment: A.Hitler) Good move.
(Comment: Stalin) Piss off adolf, you sneaky asshole. -
You read any James Lee Burke books, Che?
nope. but might look them up. glad to see a suggestion its not just my impression of texas isn't just my own.
if you already have a penchant for self-isolation (for any of the reasons being discussed here), then being exposed to eugenicists and cultural solipists is likely to be detrimental.
sure, cho is solely responsible for his own actions. none of the "freaks" i hung with at high-school ever took up a gun, but the american pseudo-aristocracy is something that has to be experienced to be believed.

pretty normal ranter in the blogaquarium
great last word there, by the way.
i was thinking that maybe the ranters are just frustrated somehow.
in a thread the other day d4j degraded into something like poetic psychobabble. it occurred to me that he just needed a chardonnay, a sit-down, and some milton.
of course, he's more likely to be a tui, a leaner-bar, and some hunt. but you get the picture.

i had the umm... "privilege" of attending an extremely wealthy high school in texas. there were a lot of good people in there, but some of the wealthiest kids were complete assholes.
pretty much the same kinds of characters you get at any nzl college, but with this particular arrogance that goes with extreme wealth.
cho might well have been railing against the condescension you get from that type of person, and to be honest, i wouldn't blame him. plenty of the people i gravitated too felt the same way, and had experienced the kind of social isolation delivered to cho.
but no-one was possessed the social dysfunction that would lead them to pick up a gun. thankfully. i guess the message for kids who experience that isolation is, "college is only five years of your life, it gets better. hopefully".
