John Perry Barlow on George II and the New Empire - One of the reasons for this personal blog. After a bunch of inocuous posts about arts and food, this one gets serious.

There is a issue with the new empire's clothes, however. While we can beat up anyone else on the block, we have to find them (Osama, Al Kaida, Bali bomber, Anthraz, Beltway Sniper) first. So why not go after George I's sitting duck embarassment to redeem the family name? It feels like a case of picking on the low-hanging fruit, since we can't seem to climb any higher in the tree of terror.
