There is no ban or a call for a ban. Love this crazy sh it! So stupid, and dishonest to say there is a ban -
Letter from a Birmingham jail: https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was "well timed" in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word "Wait!" It rings in the ear of every ***** with piercing familiarity. This "Wait" has almost always meant "Never." We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that "justice too long delayed is justice denied." We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God given rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jetlike speed toward gaining political independence, but we still creep at horse and buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter. Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say, "Wait." But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate filled policemen curse, kick and even kill your black brothers and sisters; when you see the vast majority of your twenty million ***** brothers smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society; when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six year old daughter why she can't go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see ominous clouds of inferiority beginning to form in her little mental sky, and see her beginning to distort her personality by developing an unconscious bitterness toward white people; when you have to concoct an answer for a five year old son who is asking: "Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?"; when you take a cross county drive and find it necessary to sleep night after night in the uncomfortable corners of your automobile because no motel will accept you; when you are humiliated day in and day out by nagging signs reading "white" and "colored"; when your first name becomes "*****," your middle name becomes "boy" (however old you are) and your last name becomes "John," and your wife and mother are never given the respected title "Mrs."; when you are harried by day and haunted by night by the fact that you are a *****, living constantly at tiptoe stance, never quite knowing what to expect next, and are plagued with inner fears and outer resentments; when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of "nobodiness"--then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait. There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair. I hope, sirs, you can understand our legitimate and unavoidable impatience. You express a great deal of anxiety over our willingness to break laws. This is certainly a legitimate concern. Since we so diligently urge people to obey the Supreme Court's decision of 1954 outlawing segregation in the public schools, at first glance it may seem rather paradoxical for us consciously to break laws. One may well ask: "How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?" The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that "an unjust law is no law at all."

This is an interesting thought. -
The Generals didn't send our troops into Iraq, a stupid president did Did you know that G W Bush claimed to have read like a hundred books in 2007 while the war was going on? How could that be? I can't read that many and I'm not the president. How would it be even possible to read that many books in a year while president? Can't blame the military for either of those wars, Vietnam was different, though. The military leadership was pretty gung ho for that conflict, sadly.

Random Political Thoughts Inc.

A few weeks ago, I had dinner with some friends. One of them pulled out his phone and asked me if I thought I had written more than 200 pieces or so at this stage of my career. “Probably,” I said. “Why?” Sign up for a weekly roundup of thought-provoking ideas and debates “You know, the way things are going, artificial intelligence is going to be able to write articles and books just by analyzing your writing style.” I was initially incredulous, maybe a bit dismissive. Then my friend went to a program on his phone and put in a query, asking it to write a 1,000-word Christmas story in the style of Charles Dickens. To my amazement, the program started churning out paragraphs within seconds — and not just a jumble of random words. The grafs had sentence variation, color, plot development. He did another query: Think of a title for a children’s holiday book aimed at a Black audience. Within seconds, a list populated — and the winner was something to the effect of “Zahra’s Big Holiday Surprise.” I was stunned. I thought of that convo as the news came down this week that the popular electronics site CNET has been using AI to write full articles. Frank Landymore at the Byte documents how eagle-eyed marketer Gael Breton figured out that CNET had quietly published more than 70 articles using AI since November, under the author name “CNET Money Staff.” Clicking on the author’s note reveals the truth: “This article was assisted by an AI engine and reviewed, fact-checked and edited by our editorial staff.” On top of that, it appears these AI-generated articles have benefited from Google traffic, despite the fact that Google has said it will prioritize human-generated content. Landymore wrote that a Google spokesman had clarified, “Our ranking team focuses on the usefulness of content, rather than how the content is produced.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/01/13/ai-writers-performance-enhancing-steroid/
