Why Was Slavery Wrong?
If the majority wanted to maintain slavery, and voted democratically to do so, why would that, philosophically speaking, be "wrong"?
I specifically ask those who prefer to refer to America as a "Democracy".

Every Time I Watch Goodfellas...
I can't help but think about how Jack Nicholson ruined The Departed...

Anything More Obnoxious Than...
college graduates of overpriced schools whining about their inability to repay their student loans, "demanding" that others be forced to pay off their own bills?

Unnamed Tool On The Iraq War
According to an unnamed tool involved in the Iraq war, we needed to invade Iraq because of WMD, which didn't exist, but it was still worth it because we had to get rid of al Qaeda in Iraq, which was responsible for a total of like zero terrorist attacks in the country, give or take a few, but we "succeeded in Iraq", even though now "unnamed tool" can't go back to Iraq, because al Qaeda is there, and they are engaging in regular attacks, and they also have a price on the head of "unnamed tool".
But we still won.
Because we got rid of the al Qaeda.
Even though they are likely there now. And active.
And weren't before.
And we had to get rid of the WMD.
Which didn't.
You guessed it.
Exist.
As always, it's entirely up to you if you want to believe in the fairy tales regarding "our leaders". Whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess. Such beliefs certainly keep the conversations more interesting and entertaining. "What went wrong?" "Have we learned any lessons?" "How could they have been so wrong?" "Follow up, should we invade Syria?"
Carry on witcher bad selfs.

Truism
Once the parasite is granted power over the host, both are doomed, and neither is long for this world.
Cable News
If you watch cable news for extended periods of time, you're not 'really' that bright. Of course this goes for "network news" as well, or any other industry that behaves in a similar manner.
It should take you 5 seconds to realize that it's not worth your time to listen to someone like Stephen Hadley. These are actors, playing the part of "serious, concerned citizen leaders". It's a game, and they get a hearty laugh at the idea that people take them seriously. Their only incentive is to self-aggrandize and to set themselves up to make more money, preferably money forcefully taken from others via government force. You think it's more "high-minded" than that. It is not, and you can't deal with that fact.
The industry has little to no value. It is a self-perpetuating bubble designed only to gain access to cocktail parties and state dinners. They accomplish nothing. Of course, it's not their job to accomplish anything. It's their job to get eyeballs, in order to get advertising money. If you think there is something worthwhile going on there, you're simply not able to be honest with yourself. You have a void and you are filling it with psuedo-intellectual junk food and you should grow up.
Stop watching. Do something more useful with your time. Get a hobby. I guarantee you that if you abstain for a day, a week, a month, 6 months, a year, you will be able to click back briefly and see the exact same conversations, featuring almost the exact same characters, spouting the exact same nonsense, pretending in the exact same way to care whether they are correct or not, with the hosts pretending in the exact same way about the "substance" of the discussion.
The only difference is that you might have a nice beautiful garden to enjoy in the meantime, rather than telling yourself "I'll get to that as soon as I learn this right wing/left wing radio/tv host how wrong he is!!!! Imma learn him with an email." LOL
Yeah, you and a few hundred thousand other nobodies about whom the hosts could not care less. "Thanks for watching/listening. Click here for the premium membership."

Tailgaters Beware
I am a good driver. I obey the rules of the road. Most do not. I tend to drive in an appropriate lane on the highway. Most do not. I encourage others to move right when it is safe to do so. But I NEVER, EVER, EVER tailgate.
Tailgaters are always the worst, dumbest people on the road. They are narcissists who believe that it's up to you to adjust your driving style because they couldn't leave early enough to obey the law and get to their destination on time. My response to a tailgater is to slow down. The closer they get, the slower I go. Not by hitting the brakes, of course, but simply by taking my foot off the accelerator, causing a nice, gradual, maddening-for-the-tailgater decrease in speed that is noticeable, but not dangerous. This is the correct response to a tailgater. If one keeps a distance and flashes lights or gives a quick beep, I'm likely to change lanes as soon as it is safe to do so. But if they tailgate? Nope.
I leave early enough, so I am not in a rush. It's not my job to drive fast enough for your liking. I don't care about you. I don't owe you anything, except the opportunity to follow the law and drive safely without me putting you in danger - an opportunity you are denying me by tailgating.
Tailgating is dangerous, whether it's done by a civilian or a police officer. It is ILLEGAL, and in this case, for a reason. I'm a better driver than you. That is almost certain no matter who you are. Learn how to plan your time better, learn how to recognize that you are no more important than anyone else on the road. Learn how to "see" the big picture, rather than being that idiot who changes lanes maniacally in rush hour traffic, saving yourself a total of about 30 seconds in your drive, while making yourself look completely ridiculous, and bothering everyone around you (by cutting them off) unnecessarily in the process. Learn how to use a turn signal. Learn how to drive. Most of you who want people to drive faster, and are willing to tailgate to force the issue, are complete morons and are hiding behind your lifted truck with oversized wheels. You ooze stupidity, and it's not my job to alter my lawful actions to suit you.
The funniest thing is watching a tailgater over a period of time. They close quickly whenever there is space between them and the car in front of them. They simply aren't capable of behaving in an appropriate way on the road. Too bad for them. I'm not moving.
Have a great day.

Incredible Heroism - Murad Khan
If this story (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/12/afghan-police-officer-hugs-suicide-bomber_n_2863081.html) is true, Murad Khan is a hero of the highest order. The report is that he recognized a suicide bomber wearing a vest, and when he was unable to stop the attack, he hugged the attacker, guaranteeing his own death, but undoubtedly saving the lives of others in the process.
As everyone knows, the word "hero" is tossed around far, far too often. In this case, it hardly seems sufficient to describe the individual and the act.
Rest in peace, Murad Khan. May the world respect your sacrifice.

Simple Way To Save Lives
If you are going to commit an armed robbery, carry only a taser. The life you save could be your own. Or someone else's, which could, you know, save yours. This seems pretty obvious, but if you're like me, sometimes the most obvious solutions are the last ones you think of.
To those whose lives I will have saved with this suggestion, thank you. You will make my life worth having lived.
Paaaaace.
