little bits of me: holding grudges

7.18.2004

holding grudges

They just can't let it go. Talk about pettiness. Charles Jenkins is a deserter, Bobby Fisher traded with the enemy and according to the US, both deserve to be punished. Jenkins disappeared in Korea 40 years ago. Bobby Fisher played chess in Yugoslavia despite a UN trade embargo against the country. This is the long arm of American law and in this case the law is an ass. I'm not even going to talk about Cuba.
