American Idealism

A friend recently asked me if I would rather that the US be attacked due to the lack of information obtained via water boarding and other "enhanced interrogation techniques" than to allow said techniques.  We sent each other a couple of rounds of email in our discussion.  I thought it would be interesting to bring my side of that conversation to my blog.  Click "Read More" to see my take on the topic.

I Want an eReader!

Just not one of the many that are on the market and especially in the eBook market as it currently exists.  I'm interested in buying an electronic reader to replace the dozens of paper-based books and magazines I buy every year.  But I'm not going to buy until it truly replaces the way I currently use printed stuff.  The current readers are close but not close enough for me to spend the money they are asking. 

Read more to see how I use paper and how the eReader could replace it if the sellers would give me what I want.
