Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy.

There's Something Happening Here...

Tienanmin Square, 2005?

Lebanese protestor

Or Solidarity, 2005?

Read about it right here.

But even better--just look at all this right here.

Let's try not to let them down, eh?

I need one of these.

Dean,

Yes, I agree, "Freedom is in the Air!"

See my comment in your previous post, "Freedom is on the March!"

I was a poli-sci major in 1989 steeped in classical real politic.

And then the wall came down and literally overnight everything I had learned was proved wrong. In my humble opinion, the 20th Century died that year and the 21st began. It did for me.

Revolutions and paradigm shifts are by definition quick and apparent only in hindsight.

Funny, it's starting to feel like 1989 again...

One more thing... Women fighting for regime change sure are sexy, aren't they?

TITLE: For What It's Worth
Lyrics and Chords


There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

/ E - A - / / / / E D A C /

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down


Sorry, this is the thing that popped into my head, and it fits all the way around.

FREE LEBANON!

I wonder if Condi has told the good eye doctor, "You machine gun people in the streets and we cruise missile and stealth bomb your military into oblivion. You won't have a single tank or airplane left."

I would hope so.

I'm just afraid to get wound up in the emotion of it for fear something will go wrong and the streets will run with blood. I worry about the "Hama Rule."
