Elephants Books

Francis Boyle has some useful things to point out in this article. He begins by stating that George Bush did not have much of a mandate when he was made President. That's certainly true: Gore beat him in the election, but Bush was inaugurated anyway.

Boyle also has little love for the term "compassionate conservatism," and I agree about this as well. He indicates that Bush is a reactionary and a Machiavellian, and these seem to be reasonable criticisms.

Boyle complains that we Americans repudiated the Kyoto Protocol on global warming. And I doubt that we would have done this had Gore been President. On the other hand, had Gore been President, I think other nations would have been shamed into making the Kyoto Protocol more reasonable. I still blame Bush for this, but I think we need to consider the whole story.

On the other hand, I'm not going to find fault with Bush for our reaction to the International Criminal Court, which seems designed to come up with slanders against the United States and Israel. The ICC needs to be opposed, just as German National Socialist courts needed to be opposed. And I certainly do not find fault with Bush for opposing the horrible Durban conference on Racism. For Boyle to do so makes him look far more reactionary than Bush. And it makes Boyle look like a racist and a bigot. I do not want Boyle's support on any political issues: with a friend like Boyle, I would never need an enemy.

Boyle then gets into a very interesting question, namely what America's nuclear strategy is in this administration. But I can't trust Boyle on any of this, so what he says is of little interest to me. Should we imply that we might use nuclear weapons in case of a nuclear attack against Taiwan, South Korea, or Israel? Maybe. But I want to see a sane discussion of this, by someone who is willing to defend the United States and wants us to be a moral nation, not dishonest and racist propaganda from Boyle.

Boyle calls the United States a "rogue elephant." That is an exaggeration. The past few centuries have seen some genuine rogue Empires. We're not one of them. We might become one. And I think that Boyle is not helping with his cries of wolf, elephant, or whatever.

Tried it for 21 days as it specifies and nothing happened. As a person who has left smoking thanks to a 1hr hypnosis session i can say that hypnosis does work on me ( remember that our brains are all different) however the product, nor the workbook it directs you to delivers on what it promises, at least not for me. I suggest you save your money and stick to the Secret of any subliminal software, you are guaranteed that it works. Best of luck in your journey...
