When I was a child Hornets built a nest in the slide in our backyard. They never bothered me until I went poking them, assaulting them, with a broom one day. They stung the hell out of me. I have never faulted the Hornets for that. I thought they were invading my property. The reverse was true. Our house adjoined a many Hundred Acre Nature Preserve. I was the invader. I was the colonizer. I built my life on the privilege that I took from them.

***** STOP. READ. PASS ON. Edelman had always resented Israel's claim on the Warsaw Ghetto uprising as a symbol of Jewish liberation. Now he said this belonged to the Palestinians. NOW.

***** Chris Hedges. Everything he writes, every week, is must read. The most important intellectual alive today. ''Revenge is the psychological engine of war. Victims are the blood currency. Their corpses are used to sanctify acts of indiscriminant murder. Those defined as the enemy and targeted for slaughter are rendered inhuman. They are not worthy of empathy or justice. Pity and grief are felt exclusively for our own. We vow to eradicate a dehumanized mass that embodies absolute evil. The maimed and dead in Brussels or Paris and the maimed and dead in Raqqa or Sirte perpetuate the same dark lusts. We all are Islamic State.''.......

St Patrick's day. My friend just enlightened me. ''It is strange that in my family the potato famine was talked about often. The deliberate starvation of the Irish people. I learned nothing about it in American school. But hey people in America think St. Pats day is a wonderful thing. Yet not to my family........ '''
It is strange that in my family the potato famine was talked about often. The deliberate starvation of the Irish people.
I learned nothing about it in American school. But hey people in America think St. Pats day is a wonderful thing. Yet not to my family... He was a horror. The snakes he drove from Ireland.... Non Christians.... Gypsy, Druid, and other religious and native culture people's. When I was little the teacher told us to wear green to celebrate and I told my family I had to do it... Lol I was sent in black clothing with a note... We do not celebrate this day as it is the celebration of a man who was evil itself.
Strange they don't teach about the real story in schools...

Help requested: if you know who is playing in this year's Super Bowl, please make absolutely certain, not to tell me. Yes, I am not kidding. I always hated our worship of this type of competition, from my earliest memory. It is absolutely how we prepare our children and ourselves for colonial wars, and justifying the wars of economy that we participate in against each other, thinking that it is virtue. I hate it.

***** Haaretz: The dozens of Palestinian male and female youths who set out over the last few months to kill Israelis did not do so “because they’re Jews,” as Israel’s propaganda likes to portray it, with a (routinely) broad hint about the Holocaust and the persecution of Jews. They set out to stab or run people over by car because they’re conquerors. They set out to kill their conquerors. They chose violence as a means of resisting a more pernicious violence, that of the occupation.
