Libertarian Party Strikes Back at

Libertarian Party Strikes Back at ONDCP Ads. You saw the ads during the superbowl, they featured stoic young faces calmly discussing how they supported terrorists and killed famlies in Colombia because they purchased illegal drugs. The next phase of this media campaign by the Office of National Drug Control Policy uses the print media. Examples of the ads the ONDCP will run in major newspapers can be found here. But now the Libertarian party plans to strike back with print ads that argue that politicians who support the war on drugs are the true reason that drug money is being funneled to terrorist organizations.

Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!

I finally managed to fix a problem with URL Access that had me tearing my hair out for days. All I needed to do was add “Content-Length” to the headers. I had assumed that simply adding data to the body would set the content length.

I now have my application working with all 3 connection methods: direct IP, dialup, and URL Access (to support proxies).

Ethics is a Process. Morality

by

Ethics is a Process. Morality is quite possibly the scourge of mankind. [kuro5hin.org]

Ethics, like any art, grows and changes as the artist grows and changes. Morality does not grow or change–it is unchanging and certain, its pretense of being scientific preventing it from actually being useful to man.

This is important. Man does not find food once and then consider himself full for the rest of his life. Without thought put into where his next meal will come, hunger will overwhelm him in due time. Yet this is what morality seeks to do. Man is given one explanation, one right way, one ‘should’ and this is supposed to justify him for all time. He cannot go beyond these rules, because then he is acting immorally. Instead, all he can do is content himself with the single taste morality offers.
