TODAY'S WISDOM:
HOW TO BE UNHAPPY
--Make little things bother you. Don't just let them, MAKE them.
--Lose your perspective on things and keep it lost: don't put first things first.
--Get yourself a good worry, one about which you cannot do anything.
--Be a perfectionist, which means not that you work hard to do your best, but that you condemn yourself and others for not achieving perfection.
--Be right. Be always right. Be the only one who is always right, and be rigid in your rightness.
--Don't trust or believe people, or accept them at anything but their worst and weakest. Be suspicious. Insist that others always have hidden motives.
--Always compare yourself unfavorably to others. This guarantees instant misery.
--Take personally everything that happens to you.
--Don't give yourself wholeheartedly to anyone or anything.
-- Always remember that if your partner loves you, he or she can read your mind. There is never a need to share openly with them how you feel.
--Surround yourself with only people that agree with everything you say. The last thing you need is contradictory opinions!
--Break that promise.
--Lose your faith in all that's good.

HEY, COMRADES--DON'T WANNA BE COLD-WO NO MO

WAKE UP, BUSH ADMINISTRATION
U.S. "inattention and parsimony" has contributed to the growing possibility of nuclear proliferation, delaying for years a U.S.-Russian project to eliminate 1.9 million chemical weapons housed at a rickety and vulnerable facility in Russia.
http://www.hpronline.org/news/437679.html?mkey=796243
"the turn to the free market did not solve the matter of Russian capital left over from the Cold War: stockpiles of highly enriched uranium and plutonium as well as 200,000 nuclear scientists, engineers, and technicians employed in weapons-related work. The confluence of Cold War material and the neoliberal spirit has led to a "nuclear industry", as Russia encourages resource maximization and profit seeking, even at the price of global brinksmanship."
"The United States has failed to provide the material incentives necessary to dissuade Russia from questionable nuclear alliances that the Russian government has condoned. Ironically, such partnerships might be the only way possible for Russia to fund the nuclear conversion projects championed in the post-Cold War world."

''I'm Howard Dean,'' he shouted, ''and I'm here to represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party!''
NY TIMES MAGAZINE ARTICLE 6-1-03
"DR NO AND THE YES-MEN"
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/01/magazine/01DEAN.html
"In this first campaign of the post-Clinton era, the coalition of interests the former president so deftly managed to patch together is on the verge of spinning apart. Democratic voters are venting more than a decade's worth of pent-up hostility, and at least one poll shows they don't think they're going to win anyway. In Dean, they see someone who will at least go down fighting and give voice to their dissent. Against that backdrop, touting your electability -- because you're a war hero or a Southerner or a social conservative -- might turn out to be the worst argument a candidate can make."

Mennonite Weekly
No Justice In War's Violence
"When celebrations broke out in Iraq on April 9, one was tempted to believe the war was nearing its end, or at least an important turning point. In a little more than three weeks, the military objectives the coalition had set for itself largely were achieved. But the effort to establish an administration of order and integrity in Iraq is only getting started. Moments of great uncertainty are still to come, and success is far from assured."

Where are the Weapons of Mass Destruction?
Dual-Use Material and the Weapons Search in Iraq
Alistair Miller | 05.07.2003

"During 12 years of sanctions on Iraq, the US and Britain blocked billions of dollars in Iraqi purchase orders on the grounds that the sought-after goods could have "dual uses," one entirely innocent and the other military. Today, it appears that the most obvious evidence of dual-use material can be found in US and British arguments attempting to justify the invasion of Iraq."

ON BEING A DESERT
Being a Desert
There is an ancient teaching that is at the core of true spiritual development: in order to connect constantly to the Light of the Creator we must develop and become like the desert.
The desert is un-owned, open space within which anybody can do anything they want. This is the level to which we are supposed to develop. Being like the desert means that you do not care what people do to you, what people say to you, or what they do not do for you or say to you. It means being free in the deepest sense.
Our nature is usually the opposite of the desert. We are extremely and constantly concerned about what people do, say or even think about us. We are captive to almost everybody, for their actions, words and even thoughts can influence our feelings and life. In order to develop spiritually we need to constantly work on becoming like the desert, feeling open and free like the desert. It is not an easy process but one that not only greatly enables our spiritual development, but also brings to a level of equanimity and peace that cannot be reached any other way.
It is a process that takes constant focus and effort but one whose spiritual and practical effect is immense.
Rabbi Michael Berg

OPINION-
NEW YORK TIMES
Who Lied about Iraqi WMDs? NY Times Demands Investigations
"The failure so far to find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the prime justification for an immediate invasion, or definitive links between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda has raised serious questions about the quality of American intelligence and even dark hints that the data may have been manipulated to support a pre-emptive war. These are critical issues that require thorough review not only by the C.I.A. but also by high-level oversight bodies in the administration and Congress... Bush should ask the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board... headed by Brent Scowcroft... to assess the record on Iraq, and the Congressional intelligence committees should conduct their own reviews. When Bush and Powell repeatedly assured the world that Iraq's unconventional weapons were a threat to international security, they relied on America's intelligence agencies. The country needs to know if the spy organizations were right or wrong."
