1)..........SUBHEAD 1—RICHARD COLLIER ANALYZES FURTHER, WITH ARGUMENTS BASED ON EMPIRICISM AND SOLID LOGIC! LARSEN AND HE FRIENDS AGAIN!

....................I'm not sure I wish to get into a prolonged debate about the nature of G's
..........excrement (although I guess that's been done, given the number of papers
..........written on Swift's scatological vision); but my understanding of the text
..........is that he likely produced well-formed turds rather than diarrhea. Gulliver
..........is, after all, a seasoned traveler and sailor, and would therefore be used
..........to a varied and often peculiar diet, so that his intestinal processes might
..........adapt more easily than would those of us land-lubbers. As well, he says
.........."it being almost two Days since I had last disburthened myself"; if his
.........."uneasy Load" were diarrhea, he would not have been able to contain
..........himself that long without extreme difficulty. Even the word "Load" itself
..........suggests some degree of solidity, an observation supported by his calling
..........what the two servants hauled away "offensive Matter". Finally, a close
..........reading shows that Gulliver is quite regular in his bowel movements:"my
..........constant Practice" and "as soon as I rose, to perform that Business."

....................No matter, however—I found your squib on the whole matter of Gulliver
..........and the contest quite amusing. But your wonderful, nay, excessive praise
..........of shy, retiring, modest, unassuming, and utterly unambitious "xp" turned
..........my usually pale cheeks quite red with embarrassment at such delightful
..........overstatement. If only a portion of what you said—and in public, too!—were
..........half true, I'd swell up with Augustan pride and pop. Thank you, my friend,
..........for these very kind words.

2)..........SUBHEAD 2—SADDAM HUSSEIN HANGED BY NECK UNTIL DEAD!! BUSH, BLAIR, CHENEY, RICE IN- EXPLICABLY, CONTINUE TO LIVE, BREATHE, WALK!!

From "Information Clearing House"
"The Barbaric Lynching of President Saddam Hussein"
Press Statement
By Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad
in "Global Research," 01/01/07

..........On the Holy day of Eid, the world watched in horror at the barbaric lynching of President Saddam Hussein of Iraq, allegedly for crimes against humanity. This public murder was sanctioned by the War Criminals, President Bush and Prime Minister Blair.

..........This sadistic act broadcasted to the whole world is a travesty of justice, and was meant to demonstrate the imperial power of the United States and serves as a warning to peace loving peoples that we must either bow to the dictates of the Bush regime or face the consequences of a public lynching.

..........The lynching was also an insult to all Muslims, as it occurred on the Holy Day of Eid, whereby Muslims devote themselves to prayer and forgiveness. It is all too clear that the war criminal Bush has no sensitivities whatsoever for Muslims on their pilgrimage to Mecca. This barbaric act is a sacrilege!

..........The entire trial process was a mockery of justice, no less a Kangaroo Court. Defence counsels were brutally murdered, witnesses threatened and judges removed for being impartial and replaced by puppet judges. Yet, we are told that Iraq was invaded to promote democracy, freedom and justice.

..........A peaceful country has now been turned into a war zone. Over 500,000 children died as a result of the criminal economic sanctions, and the latest findings by the medical journal, Lancet reveals that over 650,000 Iraqis have died since the illegal invasion of 2003.

..........The War Criminal Bush has killed more Iraqis than President Saddam ever did, if in fact he was guilty of any crime. If President Saddam Hussein is guilty of war crimes, then the world must find Bush, Blair and Howard equally guilty and the International Criminal Court cannot but prosecute these war criminals. The inaction thus far by the International Criminal Court against Bush, Blair and Howard exposes the double standard of the said Court, when it does not hesitate to prosecute war crimes committed in Dalfur, Rwanda and Kosovo.

..........If we support human rights and justice, we must condemn this barbaric lynching of President Saddam Hussein. There can be no excuse whatsoever for this injustice under any circumstances. War Criminal Bush and the puppet regime in Iraq have made a mockery of the Rule of Law.

Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad—Member of the International Committee
For the Defence of President Saddam Hussein,
30th December 2006

3)..........SUBHEAD 3—MYRIAD VOICES SPEAK ON WAR, JUSTICE, CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, AND CRIMINALS WHO HANG THEIR OWN CREATIONS BY THE NECKS UNTIL DEAD!!

A NOTE TO THE READER: It's obvious to all how large a role Information Clearing House played in my gathering together of this typically important collection of analytic journalism of an outspoken kind seldom if ever found any longer anywhere in the U.S. If you're not a recent visitor to this indispensable site—that's operated by only one person—I recommend it highly. If you are a visitor, then you already know its enormous merits. Either way, I'd urge all to consider making a contribution to its support by clicking here, and then clicking on "donation," as I myself have already done. ........................................................................................................................—EL ........................................................................................................................—01/02/07 >EMAIL ERIC LARSEN>> >GO BACK TO IDEAS>> (Read, Print, or Download in a href="FOOD FOR THOUGHT 11.4.F.TEMP.2.pdf" target="_blank">>PDF>> Format)
