Jane Jacobs died this morning! She was in the hospital since Saturday, due to an apparent stroke, and I had no idea.
I should note that I don't know her personally; I've just hero-worshipped her for the past year or so. I should have written her a gushing fangirl letter like I told myself it would be stupid to do.

Well, now are you going to take up the mantle of urban planning?

Heh, that's what Ginny asked me too. Essentially.

Well, you know, perhaps you will never be able to live up to her brilliance, but that's how the student always is. You can only do your best to keep your master's vision alive.

Most of the world thinks Bush sucks anonymous February 12 2007, 17:31:26 UTC

Watch subject. Bush and the Republicans were not protecting us on 9-11, and we aren't a lot safer now. We may be more afraid due to george bush, but are we safer? Being fearful does not necessarily make one safer. Fear can cause people to hide and cower. What do you think? Is killing thousands of innocent civilians okay when you are doing a little government makeover?
Are we safer today than we were before?
The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren't living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.
