  3. A quotation from Wendell Berry

    We know that war depresses public dialogue and debate, enlarges executive power, diminishes citizens’ rights, encourages governmental secrecy and deception, and deforms the outlines of human decency. Thus a government making war for the sake of peace, freedom, and human dignity — as it will never cease to declare — will curtail the rights of prisoners, resort to torture, deny its errors, exaggerate its virtues, demonize the enemy, and (as is inevitable in modern war) kill many innocent people, including, of course, many children.

    Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
    Speech (2005-05-14), Commencement, Lindsey Wilson College, Columbia, Kentucky

  5. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    Much has been said in this country about not wanting to participate in foreign wars and people who have said it, must now face the fact that foreign wars come very close to our own shores. We will always have not only the religious groups, but many groups who feel that war is wrong. I cannot imagine how anyone could feel otherwise with the picture before them today. But when force not only rules in certain countries, but is as menacing to all the world, as it is today, one cannot live in a Utopia which prays for different conditions and ignores those which exist.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
    Column (1940-05-17), “My Day”

  7. A quotation from George Orwell

    People forget that a soldier anywhere near the front line is usually too hungry, or frightened, or cold, or, above all, too tired to bother about the political origins of the war.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1942-08), “Looking Back on the Spanish War, ch. 1, New Road (1943-06)

  9. World War III scenario. UFO lands on a farm. Fearful farmer kills alien ambassador after being approached. Government agents seize the corpse and spaceship. Alien ambassador is dissected. Spaceship is taken apart for reverse engineering. Alien civilization is outraged by the primitive savagery of humans and decides to invade Earth in a punitive expedition.

    Pues no he intentado escuchar #Ivoox en Firefox últimamente, pero desde hace unos días no me funciona la aplicación de Ivoox para Android: tan pronto parece abierta, se cierra otra vez.
    Me fastidia porque, aunque tengo otra aplicación para podcasts que funciona mejor, en ella no puedo escuchar algunos podcasts clasificados como "Ivoox originals", como #ElAbrazoDelOso, #CasusBelli, #ElOcasoDeRoma, #ObservadorGlobal o #Medievalia.

  12. Ah, François Marcela-Froideval est décédé apparemment. Personnage controversé(*), mais important de l'histoire du JdR en France, et qui en plus dans le domaine de la BD a contribué à bien agiter les teenagers graisseux que nous étions. Et, après le départ d'Anne Vétillard, on sent bien que la génération des pionniers s'étiole 😢. RIP.

    (*) "FeuMeuFeu le Petit," l'appelaient d'anciens camarades de jeu qui l'avaient connu au club du Fer de Lance à Issy-Les-Moulineaux.
