Pope Benedict XVI blesses the faithful in the Paul VI hall of the Vatican during his weekly audience on August 27, 2008. The pontiff on August 27 "firmly condemned" Hindu-Christian violence in the eastern Indian state of Orissa, which he said had "claimed several lives" in the past few days. "I learnt with great sorrow the information concerning the violence against the Christian community in Orissa state which broke out after the reprehensible assassination of the Hindu leader, Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati," he said.

What are you doing, kid?

A child gestures as Pope Benedict XVI (not pictured) waves to pilgrims gathered in the courtyard of his summer residence of Castelgandolfo in the outskirts of Rome during his Sunday Angelus on August 24, 2008. The Pope told Spanish pilgrims at his weekly Angelus prayer on Sunday that he was praying for the 154 victims of the Madrid air disaster. "I must assure you that I continue to pray for the eternal rest of the people who died in Wednesday's tragic plane accident at Madrid airport, and for those who were injured," said Benedict, speaking briefly in Spanish to pilgrims gathered at his summer residence outside Rome.

Spanish Olympic teams, what bad examples you have been! (The Argentinians, you too!)
Paul Gottfried, More on Palin
It is we, and not the neocons, which the liberal Left is seeking to drive off the planet, and trying to get them to notice that we’re “antiwar” is a useless conciliatory gesture. Our task is simple but also dauntingly expensive. It is to create our own counter-media and counter-establishment, a task aiming at giving our side at least a seat in the public political discussion. In this work we can expect not help but torrents of hostility from the left. And if we go anywhere, the Robert Wexlers of this world would proclaim us to be the reincarnations of Hitler and Hamas.
Our work of consolidation must therefore be carried on alone, and we must never allow the words to fall from our lips or even to appear on our computer compositions starting with the indescribably stupid phrase “nice people right and left would agree.”

GL, The man who created paradise (a fable)
Gene Logsdon, Organic To Be
Remarkable story about strip-mining, farming and resurgence.
Wendell Berry writes in the Foreward: "... there is something wondrous and redemptive about ... [an effort that would] employ the technology of destruction to begin the restoration of what has been destroyed; and how this singular effort might inspire the efforts of others to do the same thing; and how finally a whole community of people might ally themselves with the inherent goodwill of any place to heal itself and become the Paradise it once was."

In the task of waking humanity up to the plight of resource depletion, the market is not very helpful, even if it occasionally does give useful warning signs. It’s a bit like the broken clock that tells perfect time twice a day.

Rod Dreher: The death of small-town newspapers
Maybe it's not a problem with the newspapers or the writers, but the small towns? The decline in the newspapers there might be a reflection of the state of small towns, if they are dying? (Or community, at least.)
