The Utopian Capitalist

An intermittently maintained placeholder for random clips, bits, observations, paranoid fantasies, links, quotes, and other stuff which would otherwise emailed randomly. Pseudonymous to respect the fiction of internet anonymity. Who am I? A somewhat disgruntled (not yet curmudgeonly) fellow, inconsistent, contrary, generally optimistic, still idealistic (some say naive) explorer of the world and its wonders. Sometimes it's hard to know what to do - is this Blog a mere substitute for real action?

To A Deluded Bush War Supporter

Glad to see some sensible people posting in response to your ignorant dumbass "thoughts". I often wonder who it is who comprises the hard core 25-30% who would still say GW Bush was a great Pres as he was eating their children, and it is you. What a complete fool. The sad thing is that you actually appear to have attracted greater fools who agree with you. I have a suggestion - why don't the whole sorry gang of you go over to Iraq and hang out and admire Bush's handiwork? I'm sure they'll welcome you with open arms and garlands of flowers in a completely democratic way. Soon there will be a McDonald's in every Iraqi town, and every Friday night, the Sadr City Bulldogs will play the Fallujah Fighting Tigers to the roars of their football-loving fans.

What? Oh - you're scared to go? It's dangerous? Complete lawless deadly chaos? But we've been there over 3 years - and the "Mission" was accomplished when W strutted onto the CArrier "Photo-op". No - it can't be so!

On Evil

Evil is like a shadow - it has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it.
