American Lives Are The Important Lives

Not long ago I posted about how some Muslims think that non-Muslims are less than human, or at least less than Muslim humans. Just more evidence of the evil nature of Islam. Uh-huh.

Security Remains an Issue, but U.S. Envoy Is Hopeful
On one point, Negroponte was clear: The United States would oppose any effort by the Iraqi interim government to grant amnesty to fighters who have participated in attacks on Americans. Prime Minister Iyad Allawi has said that the government is working on a broad amnesty proposal for insurgents.

"I would take exception to that," he said when asked how he would respond if the amnesty extended to those who had attacked or killed Americans.

So this administration feels it's OK to grant amnesty to those who've attacked Iraqis, just not to those who've attacked Americans. Because Iraqis are less human relative to Americans. Just more evidence of the evil nature of the fascist (dominant) wing of the Repukelican Party. (My comment about Islam and evil was sarcastic. My comment about the Bush fascists was not. I know you right wingers have a hard time figuring this shit out.)

NOTE: I've been fighting a computer problem the last few days and it really cut into my posting. I think I've got it mostly fixed now.

The Me What I Am

I took the name Phaedrus from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Not that I'm as smart as that Phaedrus, but I am a ghost. Sort of.

I started doing odd jobs at a motel when I was 14.
I lasted one day at a McDonald's, quit,
lasted a lot longer at Taco Bell.
I've been a gas station attendant,
janitor, die cast production worker,
day laborer,
course maintenance at a miniature golf course,
warehouse, union janitor,
cabbie, statistical clerk,
pool cleaner, working homeless
for a few weeks
(day labor),
and several other things I can't remember.
And I've survived.
Sort of.
I'm not a Marxist, but I am a genuine member of the lumpen proletariat.
