As I caught up with my blogs as well as my TV/Videos, I ran across this entry. Boing Boing: Only traitors try to make us afraid of terrorists I have recently been pondering how exactly the Bush Administration is going to win this war against Terrorism. Reading this helped me along the lines of thought I was already following and was firmed up in a conversation I had with one of my sisters on board the Norwegian Star this past week. Her comment was essentially an expression of utter outrage at the “Patriots Act” and though as with many other people I converse with in one form or another we don’t always agree on all points, in this one we definitely concurr.

Who is the greatest Terrorist and how do you win a war against any of them? I could in no means put a clearer definition on what terrorism is than does the author of this post. It is similar to the thinking I had while riding on the Norwegian Star and the early discussion turned to a story of a Cruise ship that ran into some trouble just off of Port Canaveral, Fl. Terror is fear. And any policies based on fear only logically become policies of terror. It actually is irrelevant as to whether we are in more danger of a lighting strike, or being hit by a bus while crossing the street, or even slipping and falling to our deaths in the bath tub than we are of a terrorist attack, in the US or anywhere else in the world. The way to win a war on terrorism is not to send our troops over to combat in a sustained conflict that results in a growing attrition of the peoples spirit and the lives of the very same allied forces. Instead, the way to win the war on Terrorism is as Schneier on Security states: “by not becomming terrorized — that is, anything that enhances fear effectively gives in to them.” I guess that still leaves one question. Who is the greatest Terrorist? The one who starts the fear, or the one who keeps the fear growing and alive? Could it be the very victims of terrorism themselves, by supporting those who continue to dupe and deceive those who elected them? A patriot smothers the fear and kills terrorism.

First off, Happy 4th to all Americans. Though I am working during this day of Barbeques, Beers, and Family togetherness, I still celebrate in my heart. Who knows… I might even see a grand Fireworks display on my way through Montgomery, Al tonight as I head for an early morning delivery in Tallahassee, Fl. While reading through my emails at the gracious response of my friends I ran across a thread that I found humurous, though it causes some angst with those involved. This list is the feedvalidators mailing list. I’m going to remove names, but will post the gist of this exchange:
First
“why i cant get tru to my feedvalidator-users i dont know which one i should used to th url iam new to this site plz help me thank you …… ”
Then
“Stop sending this shit to me”
A kind reply
“I suggest unsubscribing. It takes a bit longer than writing a short, abusive, sentence but the reward should be worth it.”
And then
“I’m sorry I don’t know who you are trying to reach but I am not the one sending you this crap! I would re check the address that you are trying to reach. They are sending me this crap too and I would like to get them to stop to!”
A detailed reply
“it is an automated list which you need to unsubscribe
from as per the instructions….see :

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/feedvalidator-users”

“All of you that are recieving this is because you signed up to the

http://feedvalidator.org/ mailing group!!!!!!!

go to : http://feedvalidator.org/

and unregister if you wish to be removed! Read before you signup!”
Yet again
“Stop sending this shit to me i dont want replyes, just stop sending”
Tempers flare
GO TO THE DAMN SITE AND UNREGISTER YOUR ASS!!!!!!!
Finally?
“It’s an automatic email list!!
You have to unsubscribe to stop these emails.
They won’ stop until you do.

All emails sent to
feedvalidator-users@lists.sourceforge.net
You subscribed to this list and until you unsubscribe
they will continue to arive.”

Too be continued…..?
