Memes suck. The internet is one of mankind’s greatest achievements. We can connect with people all over the globe in a matter of seconds and minutes. We can expand our base of experience, knowledge and opinion. The internet allows for greater discussion than ever before possible. And like any powerful tool, it is just a tool […]

First, I know I promised to write more. My thought was that I could get a post a day completed during this month. However, real life again intervenes: between job searching and taking care of a sick family (myself included) for the past two weeks, I haven’t found the time to accomplish my resolution. That […]

Read this story. Seriously. Read it. Okay, now take a moment to let out the anger, the rage, the pure, unadulterated insanity. Still not satisfied? Cause I’m not either. The sheer stupidity of people is amazing. This is why we should have parenting laws. Okay, no, not really, becuase I don’t trust that our society will […]

Okay. This is ridiculous. The President’s health care legislation requires that health care plans offer contraceptives. That’a good; if someone wants contraceptives, they should be able to get it. What about religious organizations? Well, recognized churches are exempt, based on their religious beliefs. (I say recognized because there are some religions that our government doesn’t […]
