Harold Pinter RIP




Nice post, David. Eartha Kitt was a fine lady, a great actress, and a wonderful singer. And neither should we forget Harold Pinter, who came in for a fair bit of criticism at least some of it undeserved by folks who call themselves libertarian. It's worth remembering his principled stand against the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

"The invasion of Iraq was a bandit act, an act of blatant state terrorism, demonstrating absolute contempt for the concept of international law."

"How many people do you have to kill before you qualify to be described as a mass murderer and a war criminal? One hundred thousand?"

Democracy

There's no escape.
The big pricks are out.
They'll fuck everything in sight.
Watch your back.

I'd quote his poem "Democracy", but it's arguably obscene and abusive, hence violating the rules governing HNN's discussion boards.
