Rain Brings Links
Apr. 28th, 2014 10:14 amSince I don't have a lot of original thoughts today, have some links:
A) From Paul Krugman, writing about Cliven Bundy - High Plains Moocher. My favorite quote: For at the heart of the standoff was a perversion of the concept of freedom, which for too much of the right has come to mean the freedom of the wealthy to do whatever they want, without regard to the consequences for others.
B) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Guide to Understanding Women.
C) The classic "Oh John Ringo No!" essay.
D) Regarding slavery and racism - the Arab Trader Argument. The tl;dr version: It would be like if I robbed a bank and then said, “People rob banks all the time, what is the big deal?” Or if I slept with someone’s wife and I said, “Your wife had an affair two years ago. See! I am not that bad. Why are you angry at me?”
E) New Zealand's Hot water beach.
