Hitch's last interview
Hitchens on the left-right spectrum
RD I've always been very suspicious of the left-right dimension in politics.
CH Yes; it's broken down with me.
RD It's astonishing how much traction the left-right continuum [has] . . . If you know what someone thinks about the death penalty or abortion, then you generally know what they think about everything else. But you clearly break that rule.
CH I have one consistency, which is [being] against the totalitarian - on the left and on the right. The totalitarian, to me, is the enemy - the one that's absolute, the one that wants control over the inside of your head, not just your actions and your taxes. And the origins of that are theocratic, obviously. The beginning of that is the idea that there is a supreme leader, or infallible pope, or a chief rabbi, or whatever, who can ventriloquise the divine and tell us what to do.

In order to judge this, I would need to know the guy's views on hell etc.
Maybe he believes Hitchens was a good guy who would be with god despite unbelief, for all I know.
Anyway, for the curious, he closes his not-bad article with this:
Officially, Hitchens’s creed was one with Larkin’s. But everything else about his life suggests that he intuited that his fellow Englishman was completely wrong to give in to despair.
My hope — for Hitchens, and for all of us, the living and the dead — is that now he finally knows why.

When was that written
(and more important,, it should be amended)
Reminds me of many outdated laws that are still 'on the books'
[Link: www.legalzoom.com...]
Women in Florida can be fined for falling asleep under a dryer in a hair salon.
In Illinois, for example, it's illegal to give lighted cigars to your pets
True. But I think this is rather morally offensive. It's more than say a law "banning black cars from being driven on Sundays unless they are part of a funeral procession."

Again. That's indeed an absurd law but it does not have anything to do with an individuals religious identity. There is no offense inherent there. But I was thinking about what you're bringing up. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

I don't know. Wishful or magical thinking might be a part of it. Take a look at how people react to symptoms which may be signs of serious illnesses and delay getting proper medical treatment. Most notoriously in recent events is the case of Steve Jobs. Things like illness, disease and death of course cannot be wished or denied away.

Chicken Soup for Killgore's Soul
New York (CNN) -- New York police arrested 50 protesters Saturday on what organizers from Occupy Wall Street were dubbing a day to "re-occupy," coinciding with the movement's three-month anniversary.
Those arrested were charged with trespassing after they attempted to scale a fence belonging to a church in lower Manhattan, NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said.
Browne added that the arrests "may have stymied plans to cut through the fence on multiple sides."
The fence protected an area of Duarte Park that is owned by Trinity Church. Though supportive of the movement, the Rev. James H. Cooper, the rector of the church, said he does not believe setting up a tent city at Duarte Park enhances its mission or that of the protesters.
"The vacant lot has no facilities to sustain a winter encampment," Cooper said in a statement Saturday. "In good conscience and faith, we strongly believe to do so would be wrong, unsafe, unhealthy, and potentially injurious."
A spokesman for Occupy Wall Street expressed disappointment that the movement did not get more support from the church.
"Churches have been supportive venues -- it is a shame that this came to this," Karanja Gacuca said.
Protesters are looking for a new home after being evicted last month from the city's Zuccotti Park -- the movement's physical birthplace -- when a New York Supreme Court judge ruled that they could protest at the park, but not camp out.
Upon hearing of the protesters' plan to set up camp at the church, officials from the Episcopal Church, which oversees Trinity, warned Friday that demonstrators would be subject to police and legal action should they attempt to trespass on the property.
Good on the NYPD for forcefully blocking a direct invasion of private property.

Successor
Kim Jong-il on North Korean stamps.
Kim's three sons and his son-in-law, along with O Kuk-ryol, an army general, have been noted as possible successors, but the North Korean government has been wholly silent on this matter.[69] Kim Yong Hyun, a political expert at the Institute for North Korean Studies at Seoul's Dongguk University, has said, "Even the North Korean establishment would not advocate a continuation of the family dynasty at this point."[70] Kim's eldest son Kim Jong-nam was earlier believed to be the designated heir but he appears to have fallen out of favor after being arrested at Narita International Airport near Tokyo in 2001 while traveling on a forged passport.[71]
On 2 June 2009, it was reported that Kim Jong Il's youngest son, Jong Un, was to be North Korea's next leader.[72] Like his father and grandfather, he has also been given an official sobriquet, The Brilliant Comrade.[73] It has been reported that Kim Jong Il is expected to officially designate the son as his successor in 2012.[74] However, there are reports that if leadership passes to one of the sons, Kim Jong Il's brother-in-law, Chang Sung-taek, could attempt to take power from him.[74]

He actually has several, and has been trying to name his son as his successor. But the generals don't like that, and China can be expected to have a major say in who leads the Norks next. But it is indeed a dangerous situation.
We are, however, announcing a food aid shipment to North Korea tomorrow, so that should keep them from shooting for a short time at least.
