Bomb After Bomb

By Howard Zinn

I am stunned by the thought that we, the "civilized" nations, have bombed cities and countrysides and islands for a hundred years.

"It's not right to respond to terrorism by terrorizing other people. And furthermore, it's not going to help.

"Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism, not a war against terrorism." --Noam Chomsky



And if you're in the DC area, there will be a fundraiser for Capital Hospice, Epilepsy Foundation of Virginia, United Cerebral Palsy and other noble causes on New Years Eve...go to: A Party and A Purpose for details and ring in the New Year by partying on for a good cause!


Blogger Note: haven't had time to figure out the cause of this weird underlining crisis SO'W has going here since yesterday.

This week is the busiest of the year in my 'real world' so by weekend I'll be around more...if you've had a similar quirk with your own blog, all advice would be greatly appreciated. So far Blogger's HELP section has not been of any.

Contact me at: judecowell at gmail dot com if you please, or leave an informative comment here (hint: mocking my lack of tech savvy won't help at all so hold yourself back, Sparkie!)
