Offering truth beyond the mere black and white.
"Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will." -- Antonio Gramsci
"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." -- John Kenneth Galbraith
"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." -- Bertrand Russell

The end may be near for Rummy. The Washington Post editorial today strongly suggests he should resign. With all of those who have left this administration (many of which have since written a book), there are at least a few more who should leave: Rumsfeld, Condi Rice, and Colin Powell (for being marginalized to the point of embarrassment; I've lost nearly all respect for this man, a now shameful figure). In addition, the Post editorial points how the symbolic gestures of high-up individuals can have severe consequences that affect real people. Whether it be Rumsfeld dismissing the Geneva Convention accords, or Bush pulling out of Kyoto, or Bush thumbing his nose at the U.N., such gestures eventually translate into everyday -- often hostile -- actions.
