[random thoughts]

just read a news headline announcing that another 7 us soldiers were killed in iraq, and it dawned on me how asymmetrical the conflict actually was: normally to make headlines, you'd need either a very unexpected conflict, or massive numbers of casualties, far more than just 7. but the headlines never mention the number of iraqis killed. im sure it's usually higher, but the world just doesn't care. life is cheap in some places, sure, but this brings numbers into the equation: one american life is worth 10, maybe more, iraqi ones. life has never seemed more unfair.

'holidays' have started: thats about the time i start getting to work. :/
