Obama's Birth Certificate

     Even though people are petitioning the Supreme Court to force Hawai'i to produce the document, the Obama campaign put this online months ago.  Notice anything odd about it?

     I noticed something odd.  The "race" field.  Could someone explain to me how this is relevant?  I suppose it could be used later to disprove that a person is who their birth certificate says they are ("Why, you're a white myn, but this here documents says you have two black parents!") but, gosh, lots of things we have now do that.  Blood type is reasonable.&bbsp; Foot prints are often taken. 

     Let's aim to erase "RACE" from public documents, like identity cards, just like we wouldn't (now) put your parents religion on your birth certificate, or put your religion on your identity card.

The Timeless Wisdom of F. M. Cornford

     We aren't electing Barack Obama because he has any special insight into the mix of Islam, Oil-ogarchy and terrorism.  We aren't electing Barack Obama because he's just the kind of Keynesian the current insanity merits.

     In 1908 F. M. Cornford wrote Microcosmographia Academica: Being A Guide for the Young Academic Politician. By "Academic" he is, in fact, referring to the politics of Oxford University.  That is of no moment.  His truths are timeless, as is in evidence when he describes two of the five Parties.

A Conservative Liberal is a broad-minded man, who thinks that something ought to be done, only not anything that anyone now desires, but something which was not done in 1881-82.

A Liberal Conservative is a broad-minded man, who thinks that something ought to be done, only not anything that anyone now desires; and that most things which were done in 1881-82 ought to be undone.

We should have gotten over this racism thing decades ago.
