“AMERICA has told Britain that it can ‘kidnap’ British citizens if they are wanted for crimes in the United States.” Methinks this sets a dangerous precedent. I’m sure if, say, Iran decided that some random US citizen was guilty of some crime, and even as much as tried to kidnap them to bring them to Iran for trial, we’d nuke Tehran to kingdom come faster than you can imagine.

What Is This Mess?
You've stumbled upon my mixed bag of ramblings about economics, politics, news, human stupidity, programming, and geeky stuff in general ... all from the perspective of somebody who scored as a 100% libertarian on the Nolan Chart.
I'm a Chattanooga resident, Web developer, Mac user, and amateur photographer who really likes taking pictures at night. I'm a Krystal Lover! I (used to) drink too much Coke, and own a General Electric refrigerator from the late forties. I'm currently servinc as the Chair of the Hamilton County Libertarian Party, President of ChattaMac (our local Mac Users Group), and I organize a PHP Developer's Group locally.
To find out more about the refrigerator (or to chat about anything you read on here), email me at j.clifton@four-eight-four.org.
