Robert Jensen on the global crisis:

Just one quibble, I don't endorse Jensen's characterization of pornography. Aside from that, in my opinion, he's pretty right on.

P.S. Nicofrog, I don't get zonked by aliens (at least not yet!) but thanks for the shout out.
Zeno, ya post a lot, among others, kind of uses up the oxygen "in the room" but at least you relay quality info. Don't let the Trolls deter you. That's what they want. Resist!
To the Trolls (you and everybody else knows who you are) hooray for the Ignore list! That way I don't have to automatically read your drivel, unless someone quotes you, which is a nice way to get a digest of drivel, or I choose to open a particular post. My "using up the oxygen in the room" comment applies even more to y'all. If this were a moderated meeting, you wouldn't get to speak until EVERYONE ELSE in the room spoke first (or declined the privilege).
I know we're not seeking consensus here, but if you find yourself the only one, or two, people talking, or writing in this case, you might ask yourself, "Is anyone else listening? Does anybody care? Am I wasting my time? Have I overstayed my welcome?"
Self moderation might lead to more sympathetic and cooperative readers. That's your goal, right?
