I just don't understand any kind of absolute egalitarianism philosophy. Whether it's branded as anarcho-capitalism or straight anarchism or sockfucking libertarianism, it always misses the same point.

Quote25 April 2011 VOA News Libyan state television says NATO warplanes have bombed civilian and military targets in the capital, Tripoli, and in at least one other location.

The Libyan report said the attacks took place late Monday in Bir al-Ghanam, 100 kilometers southwest of Tripoli, and in the Ain Zara area of the capital, causing casualties. No other details were provided. And there was no immediate NATO confirmation.

Earlier Monday, a NATO airstrike in Tripoli destroyed a building in the complex where leader Moammar Gadhafi lives. NATO says it targeted a communications headquarters used to coordinate attacks against civilians.

However, Libyan officials say the strike was an attempt to assassinate Mr. Gadhafi. Authorities say the bombed building was used for ministerial gatherings and other meetings. Reporters have not been able to verify casualties.

Mr. Gadhafi's son, Saif al-Islam, said NATO is fighting a losing battle in Libya because it is "backed by traitors, agents and spies." He said the bombing "will only scare children."

Also Monday, Italy said for the first time it will begin bombing selected military targets in Libya. Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said he told U.S. President Barack Obama about the decision and would call other European leaders to personally inform them as well.

Italy previously said it would not participate in airstrikes against its former colony. The two countries have close economic ties and Rome had been one of Mr. Gadhafi's closest European allies until his violent suppression of an uprising prompted the U.N. Security Council to authorize the use of force to protect civilians.


Gadhafi's becoming an almost comedic villain.

This is what comes to mind:

We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"
