This sucks. Nobody is going to see this tonight , because comcast has locked me out of the ftp account where I upload my blog pages (mywebpages.comcast.net/dlature). Makes me really wish I had gotten in on the Salon blog deal (which started within a month after I bought Radio). Radio, WS_FTP, IE, Dreamweaver, all FAIL to connect. I need to figure out how to get this stuff moved and notices sent out. How does one do this? How do you move a blog , and keep what piddly-little connections (which are all valuable to me as I seek to build a small inter-blogular community). HOw do I get all those wonderful Google hits to start reflecting a new location? I am going to move my stuff to a larger, more robust web hosting area. Instead of mywebpages.comcast.net/dlature, this is (as you know, else you wouldn't even be here....)
What I really want is www.theoblogical.org. Wonder what the woud be the best things to do to get me there?
(Later: I bought the domain name, and now just waiting for it to propogate)

John Niehas (of First Things) on NPR Friday night talked about "just war", and he thinks Iraq is a "just cause" because it is "defensive" in the sense that Iraq has "aggression" underway. I have questions about that, not that Saddam is most likely plotting something evil, because I can't dismiss that. I just caution against hasty action. There seems to be time to get all the parties involved.
Niehas , in his discussion of what constitutes "just war", zeroes in on how "defense" is considered one of the criteria for "just war". I do not advocate INACTION, but proactive steps to ascertain the probablity of real and immanent threat, and to bring the force of international consensus and pressure upon their "renewal" of compliance, and even impose more "stringent" and "urgent" requirements.
I am not unconvinced that Saddam should not be watched.......I'm sure he should be.....I am just not persuaded that military attack is the right next step at this moment.....I'm not too trusting of the U.S. tactics in carrying out these strikes.

A great blog from Eric Blair (slactivist):
CORPORATE STRATEGY: A PROGRESSION.
1. If it doesn’t get measured, it doesn’t get done.
2. If it doesn’t produce a measurement, it doesn’t get done.
3. If it doesn’t involve measuring, it doesn’t get done.
4. If it’s not measuring, it doesn’t get done.
5. Nothing gets done except for measuring.
6. The undone is immeasurable.
7. We are immeasurably undone.
