October Stein Round Up
Last week Wednesday, the second Wednesday of the month, was Stein Night at the Come Back in. It was a good night, with much spirited debate, quality beer and many, many opinions. Here is my disordered recollection of the night’s topics:
‘Atlas Shrugged’; ‘The Fountainhead’; The Ringworld Series; It Was Declared That 3XHAR Was, Is, And Shall Be Wrong; The True Star Wars, IV, V, And VI; It Is Reported That The Dancing Giese Has Misquoted Yoda, After A Brief Investigation, The Dancing Giese Is Cleared Of All Charges; Hating Is Wrong, Unless You Hate A Conservative President; Dubya Is A Brain Damaged Coke Head And He Is As Wrong As 3XHAR About Everything, And He’s A Liar And He’s Dumb And He Stole The Election And He Lied About The War And He Has A Texas Accent; Vibs And The Dancing Giese Make A Bold Prediction: No Democracy In Iraq For The Next 20 Years (The Recent Elections Are Not Counted As Democracy); 3XHAR Predicts Democracy In Iraq In Five Years (If You Don’t Count This Saturday’s Election For Some Reason); Strangely, Someone At The Table Is Attracted To Baby Cows; 3XHAR Shall Not Look At The Hair; Donde Esta Galvez?; The New Medical Concern: Chest Pain; Wine; The Movie Jedi Speaks, Then Gestures Hypnotically; Intelligent Design Is Not A Theory That Has Any Scientific Or Predictive Value; The Definition Of Terrorism Has No Bearing On The Act’s Justifications; 3XHAR Makes Outlandish Claims: He Will Run In The Chicago Marathon Next Year; The Whiteness Of Madison; Excuse Me, What Is Your Elephant’s Name?; 3XHAR Reminisces… Timpano, Soprano’s Premiere, The Sauce Of Joe; Why Was My Glass Mug In A Kiln?; The Nice Breezy Lull, Bracketed By Storms; Are The Palestinian’s The First True Arab Democracy?; Dutch Gets The Six Day War; A Table Of Daves; Do Not Weep For The Lost Manufacturing Jobs; The Danger Of Only Reading That Which You Find Agreeable; The Carnal Upside To Volleyball.

Democracy in Iraq in 5 years... For any democracy to replace dictatorship there has to be a revolution amongst the common man. Democracy has to be cultivated, it can't be enforced because the moment you start enforcing democracy it is no different from dictatorship.
Plus the other questions on Iraq still remain unanswered - where are the WMDs'? What about links with the Al-Qaeda? Al-Qaeda is still thriving with blasts in various parts of the world becoming an increasingly common occurrence (the latest being in London, Delhi, Jordan). Except for all the world leaders coming out to condole the blasts, is there any concrete plan that any one is talking about to combat the menace of terrorism. And Kevin, my definition of terrorism is killing of innocent humans for a political cause. Political causes used to be just until a few decades ago but the way today’s politicians behave (anywhere in the world) I doubt they can ever come up with a “just” political cause, they just believe in propaganda politics, which will help them retain their chair.
