Two from Mahablog Take a look at these pieces from the political/Buddhist musings on Mahablog. Interesting perspectives on US and the world generally. These specifically grabbed me.
First is on how politicians (in the US race in this example, but generally) try to offer a false sense of certitude - and how this ties in with Xtianfuckwittery. This goes so well with my continuing rants and thoughts on 'purity/perfection' as another dangerously misleading idea.
The other is linked to a study of the post-Cold-war nuclear proliferation problem - and the odd fact that only GW Bush had the audacity to tackle the problem on the right kind of scale. By doing the
exact wrong thing, needless to say - but at least the proportion was right.
