Free Flow Friday – A Few Thoughts

No Coffee and Conversation session this afternoon, but we should still chat with each other. A couple of quick discussion points.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney talking a little trash, but is he right? Compared to the previous one, as the current administration made America less safe?

“In America, when you owe someone money, you pay them.” Are you hyped up about $165 million in bonuses at AIG?  A Washington obsession? Do the rest of really care? Should we?

 

Finally, a neat video that is making is way around again – messages worthy of our thoughts and begging for resolutions:

Have a great weekend. Peace

Dick Cheney seems a little softer ’round the edges, slightly more humble now that he’s out of the office of the vice-presidency. Though I still disagree with almost everything he says. His attitude to the war in Iraq is “the ends justify the means,” and so feels that if there’s a stable representative government in the country, that means mission accomplished. But he completely side-stepped the issue of how many americans killed and wounded, referring to any other facts than “we did what we came to do” was “interesting” but merely “secondary.”

Not to mention that the interviewer did not mention the amount of Iraqi civilian deaths and their religious affiliations. I just read on BU Today that much of the reason that there are less sectarian violence in Iraq is because there’s been so much ethnic cleansing.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
