The new Zero Point Zero is up early — forgot to change the programming date on it so it wouldn’t come out till tomorrow, and don’t feel like changing it for the sake of half an hour or so. Considering I sometimes put it up a day or two late, think of this as a bonus.

Too sleepy to continue tonight — more tomorrow.

Adios.

I’ll get blunt this time:

I perceive that there’s a qualitative difference between the way the deaths of brown people are treated and the way the deaths of not so brown people are treated — both in the media and in the larger public consciousness.

I think this may contribute to a difference in perception between brown skinned and not so brown skinned Americans about this war.

I think the long history of government involvement in/winking at the harrassment/deaths of brown activists and community leaders is part of the reason that some folks are so quick to see possible government involvement in the Berg killing — the timing being so suspiscious and all in its ability to pull critical spotlight off the Abu Ghraib situation.

Of course, I could be fulla shit. What do you think?

And please — a little more logic and less drama, folks?

I deleted the journal entry that asked about the beheading.

I did this honestly because I was tired of the debate. We had reached a point of no return, and there was heat being generated but very little light.

For the record, there are too many dead people in the world for us to not pick and choose who we reserve our sorrow and outrage for; but we ought to recall that the difference between a terrorist and a soldier, an innocent victim and collateral damage, a righteous cause and an unjust one, frequently depends on where you stand in relation to the deaths you’ve chosen to mourn.

Enough. Enough. Enough.

I inadvertently deleted the subsequent one about race in relation to the issue. That was just dumb. I’ll try and recreate it, or y’all can just jump in…
