My problem with Fisk is his naivete Tom Send a noteboard - 15/09/2009 05:10:00 AM
I certainly agree with a lot of his propositions, but he starts to make moral equations between people who target civilians and people who don't, and then blames weapon manufacturers for illegal resales without accepting that nations must defend themselves. Furthermore, he does it with such a sense of self-righteousness that I'd like to just beat the crap out of him first before talking to him. After I did something like that I feel like I'd enjoy discussing things with him.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
