some quick random links...
...that just intrigued me
First, a somewhat alarming description of how the US military is sinking to new lows (as in Age, via myspace, Morality, as in gangs, neonazis and criminals, and IQ, as in bipolar and autistic) in its recruiting standards.
The Pentagon's 12-Step Program to Create a Military of Misfits
the Military's Internet Recruiting War
The Militarization of MySpace
On the more uplifting side, why use the rather ungainly epithet "gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered" GLBT, when you can use the wonderfully felicitous term "two-spirited", with its interesting connotations? Another great reason to value indigenous people's view of the world...
On the news front, interviews coming up, Yukie's birthday coming up, and generally a great mood all around.
