Lack of Blogging

There has been a lack of blogging here on the North Shore. A few of the reasons might be the end of the semester, the campus politics, a looming court case, a new project, etc.
Regardless, the topics I would have written about include Terri Schiavo, the continuing Kofi Anan scandal (and I mean that he is a scandal in and of himself), and the Pope.
I can sum up the positions quite easily though. There is a huge difference between the legal system and what we would normally call "justice" The law has very little to do with moral positions and the "right" thing to do (That's for Terri's case). Asking an organization to "investigate" itself (the Volker task) is naive - believing what they say about themselves is stupid. There are just too many willing, stupid people filling the airwaves. When you add politics (as in the congressional investigation) you can assure yourself that there will be very little resemblance to fact in the final report. Finally, the Pope was a well respected voice for many devout followers of Christianity. He lent his name and his life to causes that attempted to spread greater goodness and righteousness in the world. For this he deserves our respect.
There, I have at least recorded my positions - I just haven't fleshed out any arguments. Maybe as time permits... but the world seems to move on and on.
