In view of recent events, a recap of the things I enjoyed in the Bay Area
last week didn't seem at all appropriate (but by all means see Legally
Blonde, Akira, and Rendan: Quartet for Two if you get a
chance). Instead I just have one or two things to say and some links that
might be useful.
To the talking heads on TV: do not make sweeping generalizations like "the
American public demands retribution and retaliation". I am a member of the
American public, and I have absolutely no desire to see anyone bombed into
submission over this. I want peace, which is hard at a time like this and
takes some creative thinking. But I just don't think answering violence
with continued violence is a good idea.
To all members of other countries: I know my president is a complete doofus
and looks like a talking monkey on TV. You have no idea how embarrassed I
am to be represented by such a man. Not all Americans are like that, I
swear.
