The keyboard is mightier than the machine gun... The political, philosophical and general outpourings of a troubled soul living in Australia and blogging his Vietnam veteran's head off.
Nothing in this blog can be believed. If you think that anything in this blog is true or factual, you'll need to verify it from another source. Do you understand? No? Then read it again, and repeat this process, until you understand that you cannot sue me for anything you read here. Also, having been sucked into taking part in the mass-murder of more than 3 million Vietnamese people on behalf of U.S. Big Business "interests", I'm as mad as a cut snake (and broke) so it might be a bit silly to try to sue me anyway...

The counter shown below displays the number of Israeli military personnel refusing to serve in the Occupied Territories. I applaud their integrity and their strength of character. To me they are heroes of peace and humanity.

Thanks guys. I'm glad there are so many of you who are willing to forgive me my quirks and foibles. Very encouraging.
All that was just boasting. We all know you're a lovable old pussy-cat really.
You're always welcome in my blog, provided you observe the guideline given in the first sentence here.
I goofed and deleted my comment in the 'next' post - then I realized this means your comments aren't welcome - which of course they are. Sorry for any misunderstanding, and please don't assume anything about my IQ based on this backwards gesture.
Cheers, Gerry.
Now, to further disorgnize your blog, this comment is a response to a question you posed to me regarding defintions for god some weeks ago. I danced away from it, it was a fair question and on topic but too sharp for my comfort.
But now I see I already wrote out an answer back in April:
I can't say whithan certain that there is or is not any god. Most of the limitations on placed on god by humans are for their own benefit or reflect human limits...many are absurd. My intuition on the whole god business is that by the time you place reasonably sane limits on what god is or could be, it no longer matters whether he does or does not exist.
Tony, your erudition intimidates me. I never feel I have any adequate comment to make. I feel I'm in way over my head. But your blog is a good read no doubt about that.
Rocker, thanks, no worries.
Link, yes, that's what I find too. Does that mean something about me? Like, can I take some credit here? ;-)
Greensmile, about the god business, I agree entirely, shich is why I argued on that other website that to claim there is no god impossible to do without falling right back into the belief trap, which, for atheists, creates an interesting dilemma because they have such a problem with beliefs/believers. I love watching them squirm as their logical fallacies are exposed one by one... :-) I argue that the only true non-believer postion is that of the agnostic.
Readers, this comment is in response to the next post but I brought it here:

"If you ask me, the fellow who emailed you that insulting message deserves a damn good horse-whipping."
Now, what you need to know is that Hugh is one of Tony's personas. Tony apparently has about eveven of thes fictional blogs all over the place. Ms Elizabeth I believe is another of his.
Nora, no, I wasn't taking the piss. I'm going through a lot of shit right now and my sense of humour is even more out to lunch than it usually is. Read my psych profile. It explains perfectly.
MD, if you read this, I have nothing further to say to you until you acknowledge that your negative and derogatory generalisations about men were out of order.
JahTeh, ditto what I said to MD.
Suki, I've returned the favour. After all, you wouldn't want my purulent readers visiting your blog. Ghod forbid!
