Anya ,'Bring On The Night'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Best creationist quote ever?
From Ken Ham, founder of Answers in Genesis:
All scientists start with presuppositions. If you're starting point is 'we can explain the origin of the universe without the supernatural,' that's a bias.
eta: from a blogger:
Of course, what that bias is called is "science" and Ham is ag’in it.
Thanks for all the happiversary wishes!
Sadly, all the links everyone's providing to indications of rampant and ramping-up major crazy in the current administration are making me really depressed about just why the fuck Zmayhem thought it would be a good idea to bring another child into this world. Or at least this country. It's just that I'm not sure that, at already closing in on 40, my fertility would have held out until the next Gore administration.

Because we're going to need a new generation of liberals to fight this sort of thing, that's why!
We need more Buffista sprog to take over the world and not allow this sort of thing to happen again.
All you Buffistas who want kids? Get to it!
I just got the fax numbers for my Congressman and my two senators. I'm going to write a letter tonight and fax it tomorrow. I'm so done with this administration. These three need to stand up and not allow this shit to continue.

Puh-leeze! If people didn't have children during the Black Plague then Europe would be one big, dispopulated garden right now. Hmmmm, maybe she's got a point.
People always get bent out of shape about the news. Historically, this is not such a bad time. No influenza epidemic. No WWII. No Civil War. No Black Plague. No fall of Rome. No slavery (not in the American South sense anyway). No lynchings.
Of course, this doesn't change the creeping sensation that Bush is gradually going publically insane.
During my nihilistic yout, my favorite professor said something that really turned me around. "Every generation has reason to believe it will be the last."
Of course, this we during the nuclear mayhem that sent me on the Great Peace March, (i.e. REALLY good reason to think we would be the last--dont' get me started on why we are even less safe now, but I digress) but the truth is, all through human history terrible things have either hung over our heads, or come to horrible fruition. cue Elton John But we are still standing.
A senior federal law enforcement official tells ABC News the government is tracking the phone numbers we call in an effort to root out confidential sources.
I'm thinking we're going to have to start breeding homing pigeons again.

If you don't reproduce, the world will be overrun with wee tiny neocons, who will turn into big bully neocons, and THAT will suck.
Happy Anniversary! And Happy Birthday! And Happy Graduation!

I've had similar thoughts, but no, I think it's actually a good thing for smart, liberal-minded folks to have more children. I realize that's rather eugenical thinking, but that's how I think these days.
