i'll be there next week -- was too depressed to go out last night

rhetoric aside, isn't self-determination the guiding principle of liberal democracy -- i.e., give people scope to determine the nature and course of their own lives, which necessarily involves placing limits on what they can do with respect to others so w/ an iraqi liberal democracy, the...

there were all kinds of refugees at the end of wwii, esp. in eastern europe = millions of ethnic germans were expelled from the ukraine -- massive rearranging of populations occurred therefore it would have been relatively easy to carve out a territory for the jews -- though i suppose w/ soviet...

i'll try to discuss this later today or tomorrow . . . . seems pretty relevant, which is likely why it's just been translated -- though seems translation got published in 2004, but only made available on internet recently (no, i'm not much of schmitt reader -- merely stumbled across this on...

if this is open to the general public (or if a grad school friend can sneak me in), i'll likely check this one out . . . . New Perspectives on Leo Strauss from America and Europe New School for Social Research, New York, NY November 17-18, 2005 The legacy of Leo Strauss as a political...

remainder of the november 19, 2004 entry ---- As I look back on the air strikes that lasted well into the next morning, I cannot help but to be both amazed by our modern technology and disgusted by its means. It occurred to me many times during the siege that while the Falluja resistance was...

here's the november 19, 2004 entry from the soldier's blog -- this is quite amazing -- he and his mates evidently posted this material anonymously on the internet throughout their tour of duty Friday, November 19, 2004 HOLIDAY IN FALLUJA These are ugly times for the US military in Iraq. It...

here's the blog of the soldier interviewed in the italian tv report on us army's use of white phosphorous = www.ftssoldier.blogspot.com -- a very interesting read the first entry in the blog is dated 9/10/01, and the second entry is dated february 6, 2004 -- the soldier (or is it a group of...

so better to dispossess a people, the palestinians, who had never committed an historical wrong against the jews than to dispossess the germans and the poles??? moreover, central europe had been the center of jewish civilization since the explusion of the jews from spain -- and i say "center"...

so a world w/o the UK = also good??? i.e., what were the possible reasons for invading iraq? (1) prevent saddam hussein from using chemical weapons or supplying such weapons to terrorists -- i.e., rid the world of this "evil" threat -- AND YET no such weapons were found, there was little or no...

Thought I'd provide a link to this documentary, courtesy of Lenin's Tomb . . . . no small irony that the public rationale for invading iraq was to prevent saddam from using chemical weapons, only for the us to use "incendiary" weapons against civilians in fallujah -- i.e., the distinction b/w...

i hate to keep making nublu-related plugs . . . . however, bato's electric gypsy boogie is worth checking -- dark and delirious psychedelic guitar playing -- with a gypsy backing band

also quite good in this vein is the boston band faces on film

errr, they're a successor band of the veldt = danny and daniel chavis other members are honeychild coleman (rhythm guitar), hayato nakao (bass), and a fifth person stelfox is right to say that they're not at the level of ar kane -- not as rhythmically or melodically inventive even so, i can't...

doesn't help that new material is produced by robin guthrie -- makes them sound too derivative but i like them live, their stage presence, style, vibe

nyc's answer to ar kane??? i'm pretty high on this band right now any opinions out there?

"stinkin thinkin" is a great single however, the mondays album you're supposed to hate is "yes please!" it's "great when you're straight" is black grapes

i think there's something to be said for both approaches i.e., the bedroom listener who reviews a new album based purely upon the sonics (as well as the press release that he likely read), and the scenester-qua-critic who tries to turn other people on to music that he's experienced live or in a...
