Arundhati Roy on the visit of War Criminal Bush to India
-
"...on March 2, Bush will be taken to visit Gandhi's memorial in Rajghat. He's by no means the only war criminal who has been invited by the Indian government to lay flowers at Rajghat... But when Bush places flowers on that famous slab of highly polished stone... It will be as though he has poured a pint of blood on the memory of Gandhi."
Also: Only 12% worldwide think the Iraq invasion weakened terrorism.

Boing Boing to net-censors: Get bent!
Instead of kowtowing to organazations trying to make the Web "safe" for kindergarteners everywhere, BoingBoing has declared war on Secure Computing's SmartFilter, because they were classified as a "nudity" site, despite 99.6% of their content being nudity-free, and the other 0.4% comprised (primarily, we all know about Xeni's posts) of artistic expression, including Michaelangelo's David. As a result, users in the UAE, Qatar, and even in the USA have been blocked from seeing ANY content from the site, not just the allegedly offensively naked posts.
This is a big deal: who do you want deciding what websites you (or your kids) to see?

Bugs of Mass Destruction
Several countries in the past (and not so distant past) have used insects infected with diseases such as plague, cholera and malaria as weapons to - well basically kill a lot of people. The first recorded incident was allegedly in 600 BC. And in keeping in line with the original article which rambles from point to point, here is an in-depth look at the possible causes of the infamous 10 Plagues of Egypt.

Francis Fukuyama, who wrote the best-selling book The End of History and was a member of the neoconservative project, now says that . . . the movements' advocates are Leninists who "believed that history can be pushed along with the right application of power and will. Leninism was a tragedy in its Bolshevik version, and it has returned as farce when practised by the United States".

Tom Baker Says...
in the UK there is a new system from BT where SMS text messages can be voiced by Tom Baker. Fucking TOM BAKER, people. This site is about what you can make Tom Baker say. For instance, you can make Tom Baker say 'motherfucker' which I think is astounding, and for me, that proves we really are in the 21st Century and slightly makes up for the lack of flying cars and domed cities on the moon.
Particularly check out the movie quotes section. Also the Tom Bakaraoke.
Warning: contains embedded AUDIO you luddites.
