U.S. Confirms Citizen Shot Dead in Gaza Flotilla Raid http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=atkYRIaRZWSw I really don’t like the idea of foreign governments (caught spying on the U.S. repeatedly) summarily executing U.S. citizens. So far the Obama administration’s reaction to this massacre has been pathetic. Cut off funding, totally, then talk to them again (after they stop building settlements).

I’ve been a bit lax (ha!) in keeping up the blog lately. My apologies for withholding from you. As mentioned previously, the saving the world bit is on the tiring side, and the writing stuff is on the high energy side, and seldom did the ‘twain meet. When one is pouring all of one’s emotional [...]

[this is an excerpt from a private conversation with a friend, who wish to remail anonymous, I think] This is a much more civilzed conversation, but I really do prefer to have these conversations in public, as, you know…I’m a struggling writer.
