I know the Americans think me an opponent of their drone wars. They are right; I am. Singling out people to assassinate, and killing nine of our innocent children for each person they target, is a crime of unspeakable proportions. Their policy is as foolish as it is criminal, as it radicalises the very people we are trying to calm down.
Then many of us, who are also opponents of drone wars, could also at any time be targeted if we travel far overseas. Think that now that the US are using drone domestically, and doubtless the spineless UK and European governments will probably follow suit, as they often do, then will any of us face a future when death suddenly descends from above simply for objecting against perpetual wars or not cowing before the Masters of the Universe?
Fuck them and fuck the boat they threw up in.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
