Reading the comments on this blog entry: http://medienkritik.typepad.com/blog/2004/05/spiegel_online__2.html

The linked Speigel Online article is full of HATEFUL things about how we're systematically torturing and killing Iraqi's. Another thing I showed to same colleague from last night and said "can we say 'out of touch with reality'?" and he just shrugged and went away. Which either means he doesn't agree with me and doesn't want to get into it or doesn't think it's appropriate to speak about politics at work. I think I'll just stop mentioning these political things at work.

Remember the golden rule for work and parties DO NOT SPEAK ABOUT RELIGION, POLITICS, OR SEX!

Still, hold your ground. That's all I'll say.
