LINK: I was both entertained and informed by this interview with Jeff Jarvis, a blogger I check on occasion and will now be checking more frequently. Nothing like a man with his head screwed on the right way:
"I called myself a pacifist early in the age of Vietnam and did not change my mind until September 11. There's an old joke that a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. A hawk is a pacifist in the foxhole."
And it's also nice to hear that he shares my biggest annoyance in life:
"What personal fault do you most dislike? > Open-mouthed chewing. Drives me nuts. Drilled into me by my mother. An obsession. Can't bear to hear somebody else smacking. Trivial? Absolutely. But profoundly irksome."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
