...Dole's favorite locution, is a presidential election "about"? It's about government, in particular, Federal Government. And what, over the past 15 years, have our conservative politicians taught us about that nebulous entity? That it's an evil, of course, and not even a necessary one--a hideous succubus sucking away at the American spirit. (The unmentioned exceptions being those parts that involve prisons and the Pentagon, i.e., the ever colorful and entertaining use of armed force.) So in some ways, the soul-numbing tedium of '96 was the inevitable product of the venerable practice of government bashing...
...felt that the inflammatory nature and sweeping generalizations that filled Mr. Brown's article merited a response. I disagree strongly with his contention that the Confederate flag only represents "murder, lynching, rape and treason" and only embodies the "vilest capacities of man." I will not deny that those hideous actions occurred underneath that flag, nor will I hide from the fact that the "vilest capacities of man" were manifested under the Confederate flag in the form of slavery.

Maybe if I'd been informed, and alarmed, I'd have been more careful myself and avoided a hideous assault and its physical and emotional scarring...
...anthropologist Napoleon Chagnon has written of his first encounter with the Yanomamo: "The excitement of meeting my first Indians was almost unbearable as I duck-waddled through the low passage into the village clearing." Then "I looked up and gasped when I saw a dozen burly, naked, filthy, hideous men staring at us down the shafts of their drawn arrows!" It turned out that Chagnon "had arrived just after a serious fight. Seven women had been abducted the day before by a neighboring group, and the local men and their guests had just that morning recovered five of them...
