Today went by as quickly as the last one did - mostly because it was a clone of yesterday, for the most part. There's still plenty of memesheepage to go around in the previous entries, so don't be shy.

This case is why you need to proofread. Period.

And while welfare recipients can't study for their bachelor's, maybe they can work at Wal-Mart and take community college courses that will make them management material. Will we be seeing Wal-Mart College soon?

More AOHell: Even the dead can't unsubscribe. Oy.

In an example where both things being done seem reasonable, a German gent protesting Bush using the swastika for the s is in trouble. Since Germany still sees the swastika as Nazi symbolism, which is banned, the protest gets lost and the guy is probably going to be fined. Let's return the swastika to what it was, while still remembering what happens when people corrupt symbols to their own purposes.

Something that will be sure to piss off [livejournal.com profile] sharpsight: Church of Scotland expert calls for nanotech watchdog. Something to keep an eye on the scientists, but using hopefully scientific ethics rather than blindly lashing about with nonscientific reasons. I wouldn't put money on it, though.

Girlfriends, a shop that has it all. Well, maybe it's just a furniture store. But if it's more than that, maybe we'll find love there.

Nanotube capacitor-batteries - charge uberquick, hold charge for a long time. This might be the battery innovation that Tesla Motors is looking for.

In terms of an angelic choir, I'm a tiny little kid with pink cheeks and a childlike disposition. Or something.



Or maybe it's something else. Considering what I've gotten for non-compliments anonymously, I'd say that result fits pretty well. The turnip comment is sticking in my head, and I think it'll be a useful phrase, much like "Stupid, stupid rat creature". Oh, well. I'm not perfect, as the universe proves to me time and time again, and in matters of the heart, I am not necessarily my brother's, sister's, or friend's keeper. Still trying to find the balance between total empathy and total stoicism. I'd rather not be a doormat, but I'd rather not be an arsehole, either. Such is life, I guess. I just wonder what I'll be like when I'm the one who's moved to unfamiliar territory.

however, there is that rather large holocaust museum down in DC, as well as the display at the Statue of Liberty. I think we're covered for quite a long time on not forgetting it.


My kids will get told about their grandfather's parent's family that died at the hand of the Nazi's if only because it's part of our family history, and explains why there aren't any family members on that side of the family.

Absolutely, and this is something I don't think we should forget. Nor, for that matter, should we forget any of the other genocides that corrupt politics and history are doing their best to obscure.

Rather, what I hope for is that someday, German culture will be able to revitalise the good points of its past and regain many beautiful things that were lost, instead of being afraid of the immense cruelty of its past at every turn.

Have teh best
