Today I replaced an Engine Control Board for an HP 4000TN laser printer. This board lies in the bowels of the printer. I now feel on more intimate footing with said printer. As well as being blessed with a patina of toner powder on my person.

In other news:

I have been watching Highlander, Season 4 on DVD. No, taogrl, no tattooed man, yet. It's strangely captivating, and still as bad as ever.

No, I did not watch the Season Finale of Angel. I still haven't watched the show past season 3, so I don't want to be confuzzled over missing two years of fine Joss entertainment.

Instead, I visited friends and read some of the Morals and Dogma of Freemasonry. That's wacky stuff, folks. I can't believe someone took the time to write it, first of all. I'll write more on this, later.

Hey, scarcrest! When will you be tramping around on the Liberty Server again? Let me know, and we can try to schedule some crime-fightin'.

Some interesting thoughts

Here's an article published in The Nation. It is entitled: "The Moral Case Against the Iraq War". Read it and let's discuss, folks. :-)

It starts out:
s the Iraq war continues into its second year, the Bush Administration's reasons for being there are more indefensible than ever. Prewar claims regarding Iraq's weapons of mass destruction have all proved to be wrong; the number of terrorists in Iraq has increased rather than decreased; more American troops were killed in April than were lost during the entire invasion phase of the war; the systemic and barbarous abuse of Iraqi detainees contradicts the most basic values the Administration claimed it would bring to Iraq; and the uprisings in Falluja and at least half a dozen other cities portend a nationwide insurgency by both Sunnis and Shiites against the US presence. Yet the latest polls--including one conducted after the revelations about the torture of Iraqi prisoners--show that about half of Americans remain convinced that the war was morally justified.
