One light that was never lit up.
An unparalleled confusion.
And a road without end.

From Keith418: Gottfried on Liberalism as a Christian Heresy
Should we be concerned when the Roman Catholic Pope, the Russian Orthodox Archbishop Hilarion of Volokolamsk & the Archbishop of Canterbury get together and agree? I did like that they "spoke in favor of a different model of socio-economic development that does not rely exclusively on the state or the market.

A critique of the recent spate of anti Heidegger books & articles. "Heidegger is just too central to a culture for which the one remaining claim to moral authority is anti-fascism." It then goes to discuss various aspects of Heidegger's critique of modernism, leading one to realize that the attack on his being a Nazi is little more than an attempt to avoid dealing with his critique of modern man.

The "anti-Fascists" seem to be a justification for the second amendment.
"The US administration does not want to say how it perceives us, but we are lucky there is such a large Jewish lobby there that maintains support for us. Everyone wants to come out all right with the Jews because no one wants to be accused of anti-Semitism." -- Former Meretz leader Shulamit Aloni

January's "American Conservative" brings us this piece on America's growing similarities to a third world state.
Globesity: The good news is that the US is not the fattest nation, it is only 3rd!
What has been going on in Russia? This article implies that Kalashnikov's thought is to design a shadow state to operate behind Russia. It is rather interesting (especially with the tied in links showing how various elements are being enacted).
Evidently, the Kindle is Genocide. Sometimes, no many times, I wish I was making these things up.
Here is an article where a black man takes Southeast Asia to task for trying to appear white. You know that pale beauty that we all know and associate with high class and erotic Asian women? It's bad, especially when poor Taiwanese women immerse their faces in bleach or some such....
Bathroom Photos. What's a bored photographer to do? How about convince girls to pose in nude/semi-nude photos at the local dive. Some are nice, some show the true horror of rampant body mods...
