This that and the other

Just to clarify, I am still against the capitalist regime...my rant on the Kurds was just that, a rant. I believe that there is a "Better Way" (thanks Ben Harper), and that by targeting innocent tourists who have done nothing to them is the basest evil. I can appreciate that they may be downtrodden, that the Turks have treated them harshly, but killing a tourist is not the answer. The Armenians, who experienced a holocaust of their own at the hands of the Turks do not kill with blind hate on the streets of Marmaris (where we are going tomorrow, by the by), so what gives the Kurds (a less oppressed group, through time than the Armenians) the right? It is not like we are setting up illegal colonies on soveriegn soil (like in Israel) or gasing them (like in Iraq), so their attacks are simply terror. What crude creatures humans are...

Speaking of which, I have been thinking...About the Corpocracy that governs the West. The more I see out here, the more I am convinced that the world, at the top levels of gov't, is nothing more than a corporation board room. But this ramble will have to wait...reading a great book right now called "Cloud Atlas" - it has really opened my eyes, depite the fact that it is fiction. Truly a great read (for those who are literate enough, or who care)

I will leave on this note - "Faith, the least exclusive club in the world, has the most clever doormen." - David Mitchell

By the way..."Cloud Atlas" only recommended for those who actually did well with Mr. Sardine
For those who did not get AT LEAST an 80%, don't bother.

cloud atlas:ooooohh that one looks like a moose.

when you get to munich you can buy a nice black uniform with silver appointments at a certain little beer hall (adolphs bar and grill) and then you can stomp all the kurds you want.

Geoff - I agree with your Dad, your blog on the City of Knights was one of the best yet - proof? I had to google up The Medieval City of Rhodos and enjoy the sightseeing with you.
