Late Edit: I just read your comments on Fox. You do have one redeeming quality. You're vastly more intelligent than the average Fox viewer. :)

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming......

Speaking of core values, you say that "When I talk politics, I do it technically."

That is revealing. Because politics has always been about moral and ethical values, as far as I'm concerned. The values of a society are expressed by its politics.

Are you suggesting that you've eliminated all morality and ethical considerations from your concerns? Doesn't that leave you open to the criticism that you simply have no heart or soul, and therefore are incomplete as a human being?

The reason I bring this up, is because the U.S. military has just engaged in one of the most wicked acts of naked aggression that the world has ever endured. Technically, that may not be "correct". But every feeling individual on the planet understands the hurtfulness and arrogant disregard for human suffering that this malevolent junta in Washington is imposing on the populace of Iraq. The hypocrisy of the Bushies is gargantuan. They lie about "liberating" Iraqis, yet they have to stage utterly phony media events to sell this murderous attack to the American public:

I guess the question comes down to this? Do you have a soul, or are you merely a technical, calculating money changer?

Here's someone who has tremendous soul, and compassion, Robert Fisk in a very thoughtful and caring interview:

Why do I get the feeling that you'll dismiss this a mere soft-headedness?
