...realize that I am entirely right about everything. This virtual self-gerrymandering promotes black-and-white thinking. (On many political blogs, if there's one thing worse than an enemy, it's an ally who's not ideologically pure enough.) Yet it also makes for a kind of happy apartheid. You know that my naive ideas will lead America to crumble like Rome, and I know that morons like you are going to get me killed by a dirty bomb, but we never need to actually say a cross word to each other. Or anything at all, for that matter...
...DIED. C.F. BEYERS NAUDE, 89, white South African cleric who reversed his support of apartheid in the early 1960s to become a leading opponent of racial segregation; in Johannesburg. Naude, a cleric in the Dutch Reformed Church, which provided religious justifications of apartheid, began to question the state's policy following a 1960 massacre of black demonstrators by police.

Mkwayi helped found an armed-resistance movement called Spear of the Nation in the 1950s. Convicted of treason in 1964, he was released as the apartheid system was being dismantled...
...doesn't belong in France, or says the same thing to any of my relatives elsewhere in the Diaspora. "Go back to Israel" was a message I heard occasionally growing up, both from Zionist emissaries promoting immigration and from rightwing anti-Semites hostile to my anti-apartheid views, which they somehow mistook to be uniquely Jewish. Unlike Sharon, I can't accept that fighting anti-Semitism in France is futile, because I believe that a Jew's place is anywhere he or she chooses to live...
