What Do These People Have In Common?

61  French, 58  Brazilians, 26 Germans, nine Chinese, nine Italians, six Swiss, five British, five Lebanese, four Hungarians, three Irish, three Norwegians, three Slovaks, two Americans, two Moroccans and individuals from Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Demark, the Netherlands, Estonia, the Philippines, The Gambia, Iceland, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Sweden and Turkey.

Give up?  These representatives of 30 nations were aboard Air France flight 447.  It is completely possible that this tragedy is the furthest reaching of its kind.  Every inhabited continent.  Countries poor and wealthy; large and small.

I can’t remember such a far reaching tragedy since the World Trade Center collapse.

First They Came For The Pornographers…

And I said nothing…


Thank you Reason.  Now I am not going to debate the merits of bondage pornography, but I will fight a government that uses the blanket of “War On Terror” to combat something social conservatives find morally perverse.  Government is not here to protect us from ourselves; only from each other.

Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk

by Tholan — Categories: Pontification, Review — Tags: Comments Off

The latest novel by Chuck Palahniuk (pronouced paul-a-nick) is a fast and entertaining read. It is not as disturbing as his previous works like Haunted or Invisible Monsters, or as ground shaking as Fight Club or Choke, but it is Chuck in all of his element. Controversial fiction at its finest.
