[edit] Things that amuse me

I'm an attorney & an entreprenuer, specializing in innovative legal education through means such as the Washington State Bar Association's Section on Peace Through Law^[1] (including our program of educational events, see peacelaw.wikidot.com/. I'm also reprinting the Memoirs of William Sampson^[2], the writings of an important early American/Irish human rights lawyer.

[edit] Quotations that should be less obscure

"I often wonder why men set so much value upon ancestry. For as all moralists agree, that fraud and violence prevail in this life over gentleness and virtue; so to say that we had great ancestors, is too often the same as to say, that we descend from great knaves." - William Sampson, "Causes of the Troubles in Ireland" (1817), [1]

"When a man finds a conclusion agreeable, he accepts it without argument, but when he finds it disagreeable, he will bring against it all the forces of logic and reason." - Thucydides

""Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living." - General Omar Bradley

"Any time you hear the United States Government talking about wiretap, it requires --- a wiretap requires a court order." - G.W. Bush

Vancouver Expedition - an important part of West Coast history.

[edit] Other

AFROMET - a project for cultural repatriation of looted Ethiopean goods
Angel of Hadley - truth or legend? a rippin' yarn either way!
Confederated Tribes of Siletz - I gotta family connection

List of Iraq War Resisters - like it says
Metallic Metals Act - a remarkable hoax cited in a study; but was the study itself a hoax?
Solson Publications - I briefly owned a copy of their comic Reagan's Raiders. It was just as aweful as rumors

[edit] Pages I like to keep an eye on

Hamdan v. Rumsfeld
Peter Puget - explorer and sea dog
Saint Edward State Park - I'm an alum of the school that later became this park. It's even better now that it's a park!
Raymond Hunthausen and Society of Saint-Sulpice - added info about St. Ed's
Sigilverse: a universe destroyed by bankruptcy. Kinda ironic
Signing_statement
Theobald Wolfe Tone - added information gleaned from the memoirs of William Sampson (attorney)
