Apologies and an important site
Scheduling problems are going to make it impossible to continue yesterday's post until tomorrow. (I will actually do it then, hopefully will get another one up, and will be reprinting another post in my "Another View" series, this one from "Drina aka Sudanese Thinker.")
However, I discovered something today (h/t Andrew Sullivan) which I have to pass on. It is called "The Euston Manifesto." There is a lot of liberal-bashing going on on many blogs, and an assumption that liberals and leftists are so blinded by a mindless, robotic application of 'multiculturalism' that they will not speak out against some of the problems involved in the war and in the relationships between Islam and the West. (Even I complained on my other blog:
http://jimbentn.blogspot.com/2006/03/where-are-my-fellow-liberals.html
The Euston Manifesto is a declaration by a substantial group of liberals and leftists that goes a LONG way to countering this impression, and is something that should be read by anyone reading this blog, and hopefully signed by most of you.
You'll find it at

Sorry Jim for not participating in your ongoing discussion and answering your questions. I'm busy with projects and my coming exams for this semester. I will be done from this semester officialy by 29th May. I think what you're doing is a very good thing and I truly admire it. I promise to get back to answering your questions and also engaging in the same sex marriages issue as soon as I'm free to answer them properly. Right now I'm stuck in my room studying for a finance test which I will be having in 4 hours.
My apologies and my email is sudanesethinker@yahoo.com
send me whatever questions you have and I will be gald to answer them.
One more thing even though I may be 19 (turning 20 this August) I still know a lot. So age is nothing but a number. My father is an anthropologist/sociologist. He earned his PhD from Madison Wisconsin and my mom was a former psychologist and now she is a housewife. I have been influenced greatly by their fields and that is one of the reasons I like to engage in these type of discussions.
