Get Busy Living

Good Morning. A few new posts today ...

• The cult of living long for long life's sake is reducing our quality of life to a matter of slavery to the medical-longevity complex. A little suicide now and then is a good thing, should meaningful life have run its course. See Pierre's Tuesday column, "Get Busy Living, or Get Busy Dying..."
  

• The question isn't "why is the sky blue?" but "where do lists come from?" And why on earth would The Atlantic stoop to the Cosmo way and give us the so-called 100 most influential Americans of all time? See "The Most Important Lists. Ever."
  

• It might as well be a daily chronicle: the death watch of American journalism. Next in line, "A Dumber Wall Street Journal?"
  

• Images from Beirut: The faces of Hezbollah, front and back, like you've never seen them before...

Plenty more in the Daily Journal...Thanks for reading.pt
