This portion of my site is powered by Blosxom. Blosxom is a perl script whose functionality here is extended through several plugin scripts in order to dynamically assemble a multitude of separate plain text files stored in a directory tree on the server into a cohesive, dated and RSS enabled weblog. Now in daily (r)sync with the directories on Nate's Powerbook.

Thought on the USS New York

I'm of a slightly different mind about this boat. I realize I am in the minority in this opinion (at least at work), but I think of it as an ironic reversal of the biblical scripture of Isaiah 2:4 in that we're literally "beating our plowshares into swords".

I don't see how this massive vessel, this symbol of American aggression and ... Read Moreimperialism will help us find and bring to trial the criminals who took the towers down; and it's even more ironic to me because it is exactly this kind of imperialism which the 9/11 attackers point to as the motivating factor for their despicable crimes in the first place.
