Pray for Peace
December 28, 2007
The dogs of war continue to rule this world. Your place and mine. Their opportunity is hostility and ignorance. Their game is manipulation. Terror is a tool – the fear of hell, ridicule, beating, bombing, jail, locusts, the list goes on and on. Each place has its own special box of terror.

How Not to Lead
August 7, 2006
Put the maximization of profit above all ideals
call it the American dream.
Invite lobbyists to secretly make policy
declare it executive privilege.
Listen only to people who agree with you
pretend you do otherwise.
Paint all who dissent with a broad pink brush
label them traitors
Intimidate rather than dialogue
blame it on evil.
Squander a surplus.
Build a deficit.
Outsource torture.
Ignore law.
Fatten the rich.
Squeeze the poor.
Call yourself compassionate.
