Right, then.
Aug. 24th, 2006 12:40 amA pair of funnies - The insidious nature of LJ, and the inability of quantifying love.
Something not funny at all - baby found in the backseat of a car. The driver was DUI. Similarly, mother refuses to get her children rabies shots. Even though there were bats in the house that were very much around them.
Back to funny - I, for one, welcome out new insect overlords.
Scooter girls - proving that there are pin-ups for everything.
Drug defeats recall, but improves intuition. So you do learn a few things, even without remembering what you've already learned. Trusting your gut instinct is worth something, sometimes.
A T-shirt is apparently sufficient reason to prevent someone from boarding the plane. Well, it's more like the people who have bought into the lie that anything Middle-Eastern, including the Arabic script, is automatically a terrorist signal. Complaint, with the ACLU's assistance, has been filed. There is nowhere in the law that prevents a person from wearing a T-shirt on a plane that I know of. Wearing it in an airport was almost guaranteeing that the person would be pulled aside.
I'm really tired of the assumption that because some people who come from the Middle East and profess to follow the law of Mohammed are interested in the destruction of non-Muslim civilizations, that everyone who either comes from the Middle East or professes to follow Mohammed's law is in league with the extremists. Of course, it doesn't help that people who profess to follow Jesus's teachings but do nothing of the sort are the most visible face of the Christian religion. If both sides could rein in their extremists, I think the world would be a better place. Now, how do we go about doing that...?
