Incredible

I logged into my pseudonym gmail account, where I keep all my political crap. I realized I hadn't read Alternet since last week, and I realized that I hadn't missed it, at all. Instead, I read about why Africa is the way it is, watched some dazzling historical fiction about England's defeat of the Spanish Armada, watched some really attractive reenactors make the Great Wall in China, learned about Muslims in Spain, reveled in the differences of Spanish culture, and began to really read my old Chinese history text. When I got off the train in Lafayette, I was sobered to see 4000
4000
on the hill. While I was gone, 10 young, healthy people died in Iraq.
