terror

Our politicians help the terrorists every time they use fear as a campaign tactic. The press helps every time it writes scare stories about the plot and the threat. And if we’re terrified, and we share that fear, we help. All of these actions intensify and repeat the terrorists’ actions, and increase the effects of their terror.

Bruce Schneier from wired.com

The article from which that quote was taken is very well written and worth a read.

I had a bunch of words typed about unity08.com. It is a quasi-party using the intarwebs (I hope they got the web 2.0 memo) to influence the election/get someone elected. Fortunately, I remembered that idc, selected those few paragraphs, and pressed delete. Life is easier with this philosophy.

idc, it’s like nihilism, but not exhausting at all.
