You know, I hadn't planned on putting anything about the latest execution in here. Not one solitary thing. After all, there wasn't much I could say about it, really. And then, while cleaning up my bookmarks file, I ran across this journal entry from abroad. The parts about the execution are interesting enough, I suppose, but what was more interesting to me was his view on how the US is constructed, how its governmental philosophy operates. I must admit, I hadn't thought of how it could be viewed in this particular way, but then, I live here. You don't think about air until it's not there, after all, and there are some ways in which you may not be able to see your home because it's all around and you take it for granted.
