Wake alone in the hillsWith the wind in your faceIt feels good to be proudAnd be free and a raceThat is part of a clanAnd to live on highlandsAnd the air that you breatheSo pure and so cleanWhen alone on the hillsWith the wind in your hairWith a longing to feel ..Just to be freeIs it right to believeIn the need to be freeIts a time when you dieAnd without asking whyCant you see what they doThey are grinding us downThey are taking our landThat belongs to the clansNot alone with a dreamJust want to be freeWith a need to belongI am a clansman

Whaddaya Mean Obama Hasn't Done Anything? Posted: 4 weeks ago by theclansman
A blow-by-blow breakdown of the young president's first year reveals that today's frustration stems not from a lack of policy so much as a lack of common ground. The myth of the American center looms in this, the second part of a week-long series on our country since the 2008 election.

Republicans, religion and the triumph of unreason Posted: 3 months ago by theclansman
Excellent article about the state of politics in the US. Discusses how the media presents itself as an unbiased "umpire" between two rival sides, even when one side has absolutely no legitimite evidence to back it up. How faith-based thinking allows people to believe in something that has nothing to back it up.

Marijuana is Safer: So Why Are We Driving People to Drink? Posted: 4 months ago by theclansman
Sure, all Americans know that marijuana is illegal, and most are aware that the government purposely spreads misleading information about the drug’s allegedly adverse effects. But how many of you have stopped to think about the ways that other entities are directly or indirectly involved in maintaining cannabis prohibition? After all, the government could not uphold the status quo all by itself. It requires the assistance of private and public employers, athletic associations, and the mainstream media.

It is our fault they don't believe Posted: 5 months ago by theclansman
It is the job of the church to give people an encounter with God, not an argument. I don't blame atheists for not believing in God, because those of us who do believe have done a poor job of representing Jesus.

Great Wall of Facebook: The Social Network's Plan to Dominate the Internet — and Keep Google Out Posted: 5 months ago by theclansman
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg envisions a more personalized, humanized Web, where our network of friends, colleagues, peers, and family is our primary source of information, just as it is offline. In Zuckerberg's vision, users will query this "social graph" to find a doctor, the best camera, or someone to hire—rather than tapping the cold mathematics of a Google search. It is a complete rethinking of how we navigate the online world, one that places Facebook right at the center.

This is a crazy story, like straight out of law and order(seriously, I have seen this episode). A prominent defense lawyer, whose favorite phrase was "No witnesses, no case." orchestrated the murder of key witnesses, as well as bribing them to skip town. Guaranteed this will be a movie one day.

Article on the use of "sleep deprivation," a term we will now have to always render in quotes, as the irony of describing one sort of torture as a means of covering up three or four other kinds of torture is both diabolical and morbidly depraved.
