onehundredsixtythree. ecember 24, 2010. "political views: moderate."



(series: the book i just finished).

read 100 pages in "God's Politics" today.

"September 11 shattered the American sense of invulnerability. But instead of accepting the vulnerability that most of the world already lives with, and even learning from it, we seem to want something nobody can give us - to erase our vulnerability. We want it to just go away. If the government says more wars can do that, many people will say fine. If they say suspending civil liberties can do that, many will say fine...But we simply can't erase our vulnerability, not in this world and not with the human condition being as it is."

applications:
