Fighting Words For A Secular America

While I value the religious beliefs of everyone, I view the increased tenor of religion mixing in our government as something to fear. Evidently I'm not alone, as Mr's Washington, Franklin and Jefferson agree with me.

Tomorrow may be too late

A wonderful quote from Martin Luther King Jr. (via William Gibson)

I call on every man and woman of good will all over America today
...to take a stand on this issue. Tomorrow may be too late. The book
may close. Don't let anyone make you think that God chose America as
his divine messianic force, to be a sort of policeman of the whole
world. God has a way of standing before the nations with judgement, and
it seems that I can hear God saying to America 'You are too arrogant!
If you don't change your ways, I will rise up and break the backbone of
your power! And I will place it in the hands of a nation that doesn't
even know my name. Be still and know that I am God.'" -- Martin Luther King, 4 April 1967

That man provided us with a lot of lasting wisdom, it's a shame he wasn't allowed to live longer. Along with him, I often wonder what our country/world would have been like if Robert Kennedy hadn't been assassinated.

Buster's Blog

It isn't a real blog. Not even a real fake blog. It doesn't have any chronological navigation. Buster from the Arthur kid's show has blog. At the end of his new show they show a screen shot of the website and I noticed the graphic "My Blog". What is the 'market penetration' of an idea when even kid shows make use of the concept?

re: problems

This is an excellent rant on "problems"; that a problem is half-solved once accurately described. This is an issue I frequently have with my children. While I'm driving "look at that"; look at what? The classic "the computer isn't working" by which is meant "the browser has stopped responding". Too many other examples to list. I am constantly on them to provide me with specific information, so I can attend to what interests them or resolve the issue they are having.

The internets is slow.
