I Agree with Cheney

"... the message of intolerance and hatred must be opposed before it turns into acts of horror."

-Vice President Dick Chaney, 27 Jan 2005

Cheney was talking about anti-Semitism and the Holocaust in a speech given in Poland. Not to lessen the horror of the Holocaust, but it would be nice if the administration would apply those words to its own dealings as well.

"The death camps were created by men with a high opinion of themselves — some of them well-educated and possessed of refined manners — but without conscience," Cheney said. "And where there is no conscience, there is no tolerance toward others ... no defense against evil ... and no limit to the crimes that follow."

A long minute of silence in remembrance of the millions killed in the death camps. Preventing this sort of outrage should be a high priority of *all* nations, and I have no patience for history reconstructionalists who try to prove it never happened.

Toys!

Wheee - ThinkGeek is now carrying the Airzooka Air Gun that I was so impressed with at FC ... now I can have one of my own! Now, if only I knew who that was at FC who introduced me to the wonderous toy ... I've seen the fursuit several times, but can't put a name to him. [edit: He's Selkit.] Also, it was pointed out to me that I didn't respond to everybody who came up to me at FC ... please, remember that I'm half-deaf as it is, and I was tired (and my mind was worrying about other things) when I was out in fursuit Saturday night. If you tried to talk to me then and I seemed to brush you off - I wasn't intending to! So please, if I did that to you, feel free to tell me about it and I'll make amends ...
