 | You've probably heard by now about Freedom Fries. It is worth noting that the precedent - sauerkraut and frankfurters - was set against the products of a nation the USA was at war with. Is this a presentiment of things to come?
I'd like sincerely to believe that this has been met by an outpouring of contempt from grown-ups everywhere (I'm thinking of having the Get Your War On phrase "Grown-ups thought of that name. Never forget that" tattooed on my brain), and that the increasing and casual disregard of the administration at every level for adult behaviour, freedom and democracy is provoking a groundswell of disgust, but since the American media would not report it even if it was I'm not quite sure how we are to know. Must be great to be free.
Dale Keiger, whose alternative terror warnings colours gave me a happy, seems to be an intelligent commentator on the increasing redundance of the citizen to the state in the West. Check the discussion of the Core and the Gap, as well - I was wondering when somebody would mention that.
