Comment Info and Policy:
1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
Not in the least to detract, certainly, but in a nearby part of the world, Thailand: Buddhist School Teacher Shot Dead in Front of Pupils, excerpt:
"A Buddhist teacher Prasarn Martchu, 46, was on Monday shot dead in front of a class of schoolchildren in Thailand's southern Narathiwat province - home to most of the country's 4 percent Muslim minority. Martchu's killers disguised themselves as students, police said. They blamed Muslim militants for his murder. The killing prompted some 20 local schools to close indefinitely, an official was quoted as saying.
"The attack is the latest in a series of violent incidents in the Thai south, where more than 1,300 people have been killed since a separatist insurgency began in January 2004. At least 30 teachers have been killed since the beginning of the insurgency." emphases added
Same, as reported in the China Post, excerpt:
"Prasarn is the 44th teacher to have been killed by suspected Muslim militants since 2004, said Sanguan Jintarat, head of the Narathiwat Teachers' Association."
