I just thought of the rhetorics for the preemptive war today. Those rhetorics sound plausible to many people. The country really needs a true leader now, who can perform well under great pressure and lead American people out of the current dilemma and headless situation. Only a real leader can go [...]

As a normal individual, how do you support a candidate you like? Here are some ways I thought of. Feel free to add more.
If you blog, write about this candidate;
If you do arts, make arts about this candidate, for example, make videos on youtube, or write songs (I just noticed that Gravel’s campaign videos are [...]

The Python Principle is a principle of playing. Python makes it easy to play with programming.

Note: below is what I said during a Buddhism discussion about Buddhism Economy. Here I just revise a little and put it here.
The way I look at human history is somehow different. I view human history as a history of how human beings organize together, how organizations/institutions arises under various forces in the historical context. [...]
