    WE’RE BEING POLITE: THE GRACIOUSNESS OF ENGLISH CHARITY REGARDING CONTINENTALS AND THEIR TOTALITARIANISM.

    “When talk about ‘the west’ we’re being polite. What we mean is the countries that adopted the anglo-american system of government as the result of military victories by the English speaking peoples. If the second world war or the cold war had ended differently, [the continentals] would not be westernized today.” — Daniel Hannan

    “”What we [english] invented was constitutional liberty. … Our concept of democracy is a guardian of individual freedom rather than an expression of the will of the majority. ..our system, which is practical, individual, and points to specific rights contractually guaranteed. … Ours has worked better. It didn’t ever fall to fascism or communism or revolution.”

  • UKRAINE UPDATE: The main road, Kreshatik, from the waterfront and old town Podil

    UKRAINE UPDATE:

    The main road, Kreshatik, from the waterfront and old town Podil is barricaded and guarded. The barricade is two stories high and about as wide.

    There are two other less direct routes into town but thats the main artery from this side.

    I didnt get a picture. :(.

    Freaky.

    KIEV UPDATE

    Talked to one of the active protesters today at lunch.

    He said that they way they work is to wait on chat rooms, message boards, twitter, and all other sort of hangouts. Then someone will say “we need to build a barricade at [wherever] in an hour. They flash mob the location, work for an hour with many hands, then return to coffee shops or food or whatever to get warm. Then repeat the process. I mean, battlefield communications and all that.

    I mean, it’s GENIUS. They have the fortification process down cold.

    BTW: The Ukrainian President “called in sick” today. 😉 Seriously.

    (I LOVE BEING A SPECTATOR TO THIS KIND OF THING)

    WTF. I grew up confident that conspiracy theorists wore tinfoil hats, enjoyed too many pharmaceuticals, and flirted with schizophrenia. But the number of conspiracies of idiocy that have turned out to be true, or at least, substantially true, in my lifetime, is just …. it’s just getting depressing.

    I mean. It’s not the people with tinfoil hats I’m afraid of. Its the people who DON”T wear tinfoil hats but BEHAVE LIKE IT that scare the hell out of me.

    When are we going to understand that “GOOD GOVERNMENT” and “THE PUBLIC GOOD” are oxymorons?

    I’ve sort of come around full turn. I think military intelligence might actually have something to it: “Stay home in the barracks whenever possible”. But I can’t say the same thing for anything about the state.
