Since the doctor said that I'm impotent, I thought I better dress impotent too.

Yes, I changed the original text to make this.

Focal point -- the future

One of these lives has a future, the other does not. Which one is which and which will be chosen. Perhaps both are dead ends ... hanging there or to drop down and decay. They are, though, there.

Each one is a dream waiting to be realized or dried up in the heat and sun. Man, does that sound sappy! Okay, how about a spider cried it's five eyes out ... no, still bad. I got it! A man, fearful of public peeing couldn't go, then ... fountain!+

No, still not what I want. I got it ... glipses of what could have been, each its own reality. That's much better; yes.

Though only long enough to roughly match the trailer for Matrix, it is much better than the movie, Matrix. Beaker, evil ... say it isn't so!

Fair Trade

We, at the CIA, are bound by rules and legalities preventing us from beating the unholy heck out of you, so we're going to take a flight to see the man in the red suit.  No, I don't mean Santa Claus.

 

From MSNBC, news report from Newsweek:

The el-Masri case underscores continuing legal threats facing CIA officials overseas despite last week's deal on a bill that would authorize the agency to continue using aggressive interrogation techniques. The White House says the measure is needed to provide legal protection for CIA officials accused of violating the Geneva Conventions. But the bill may do little to protect officers involved in "extraordinary renditions"—a practice under which the agency has flown terror suspects to foreign countries where they have allegedly been harshly interrogated.

....

What's the deal?  The CIA has limits and bounds, but other countires don't have such.  So, when lawyers and "dis-United Nations" claim US abuse, what gives?  Why aren't the other nations bound by the laws ... oh, that's right -- they don't have constituions with a bill of rights.  Hey, world!  Either have bill of rights and stick by it, or shut up about the CIA.  I didn't hear too many tears about the 20 jerks in the UK taken before they were allowed to use planes in their attack.
