A little taste of political logic (with a side dose of insanity and humor to make things interesting.) My life will occassionally be brought in with some journalism.

Free the Sahrawi Democratic Republic
This is an odd moment in my life. I have often looked to rebellions in negative ways. Seen them as breaking the order. I of course have a modern viewpoint. Colonialism is one in which I believe uprising and rebellion was necessary, that's how the United States came into being. I've looked to the Tamil Tigers, Laurent Nkunda, the ICU followed by Al Shabaab and observed the destruction in their purpose. They fight for their people, but are just as quick to kill their own as the opposing forces. However, in practice the Polisario Front fought a war in standard warfare. It had to fight underground against two nations, however civilians for the large part were spared. Their constitution lays the groundwork for a nation with a multi-party democracy and a free market economy. This is why it is an odd moment in my life. Few rebel movements that I have seen have looked at the situation they have, and stated that when their fight is over they will drop power and become a political party or disband once their freedom is achieved. I've rarely seen an open commitment to such a nation during the rebellion. They have the groundwork for a peaceful, democratic, free nation and the world is allowing Morocco, a considerably neutral nation towards us, to prevent this free nation from forming in the middle of a desert. My problem with the issue is why would Morocco, with the primary civilized and wealthy areas in the North, fight so much for a barely sustainable southern region? Polisario condemns terrorism and sent condolences to the families victim to the 2003 Casablanca terrorist attacks. They want independance, not bloodshed or revenge. Just their freedom. Meanwhile they face the Moroccan army. Morocco put the effort and the skills of an army nearly the size of the entire Sahrawi population at work preventing them from crossing a wall that stretches from North to South in the Western Sahara. Walls that divide people must be brought down. Reagan told us this. Germany was a clear example of why walls that seperate people must be torn down. (North Korea, shut up the wall is in your own territory unmanned by anyone and you can tear the fifty year old relic don if it makes you happy. Just stop lying about us using it to seperate the Korean people, you shut down the railroad and limit the number of visitors into your country every year. Anyway.) Yes, allow the Sahrawi Republic to be formed. Buy off Morocco if you have to. Two free, cooperating nations are better than two bitterly entrenched warring neighbors. I plead for the world to recognize this and act upon it.

Episode of Distraction 1
Now already I've broken the promise to write a blog every single day. This is because for two days I had no ideas of what to write. Well, for days that I have nothing to write, I will detail, piece by piece, a game. A new game. A board game. Yes a board game. A new board game. Since I refuse to post pictures on this blog, I will have to explain it with words. This means I will make this a simple, yet exceedingly complex game as I run out of ideas. If I finish figuring out what the game rules are, I will then detail strategy. So lets begin the game with two squares. Simple, four sided, connecting at one of the sides. They are right next to each other. One is standard blue, the other is standard red. The standard blue represents a single soldier for side A. The standard red represents one soldier of side B. You roll two dice. Standard 1-6 sided dice. Whoever has the higher number goes first. The objective is to take over the board. The person who goes first can either stay, or move forward. If they chose to move forward, they roll the dice. If they tie or get above the other person's dice, they move forward. Thus, they win. If not, they stay put. Then the opponent chooses. Same rules apply until there is a victor. This has been an Episode of Distraction. Thank you for coming. Meow.
