Self-Censorship
There several entries I wrote yesterday that I will never post because I was too angry and it really came through. Writing them was better than yelling at the cats or my neighbors and the effort reduced the pressure.
Let me just say that if the Congress doesn’t start doing its job regarding oversight and stop this Iran madness the immigration protests will be overwhelmed by the protests against another attempt to lie us into a war.
If you want to worry about nuclear weapons in Southwest Asia, worry about Pakistan. Iran doesn’t have any and won’t even have the ability to construct them for years.
If you want to promote democracy in the region do something about Egypt, Saudi Arabia, or Kuwait.
If you want to promote stability in the region, have Israel comply with UN Security Council resolutions and disable its nuclear arsenal. It is a bit disingenuous to demand Hamas renounce violence while Israel is launching aerial assaults on Palestinians and building more settlements on occupied land.

…all in all, probably a good choice all the way around. Cats can take the yelling because they are patiently vindicitive and know where you sleep. Neighbors, on the other hand, usually aren’t as patient and may just have a concealed weapons permit. The electronic version of writing a letter and throwing it away can be a quite handy tool for focusing the mind…
It saves on law suits and reduces the paper in the waste stream.
If I didn’t have living things that depended on my presence down here, I would probably be camped out across from the White House.
