silveradept...it's really here. Like, it's really here. The last week of summer. School starts again. On the houseguest front, while there's progress, it doesn't look like healing in the walking sense is going to be happening soon - this crunches an already compressed time schedule. It's not good.
Inflicting on your eyes this thought, of plastic dolls, even though they are not anatomically correct, in pornographic positions. Yep, it's Barby porn. Not that many of you probably wanted to see that. Others of you are already trying to figure out how to rebroadcast it in an even more mindscarring way (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
idan_cohen, and laundreu, I'm looking in your directions).
Something showing that money goes to all places for silly things - Study finds conservative views a set of neuroses. Yep, that's your tax dollars/tuition at work, America. At the same time, those conservative views are shutting out the JAGs when it comes to new military trial guidelines. It's also throwing money fighting in a foreign country while the homeland is falling apart.
Representative Harris, saying that the founding fathers did not intend our nation to be governed by secular law is incorrect. While many of the founders were religious, at least one President, in a treaty to another country, said that the country is not founded on the Christian religion. Considering our origins as British colonies, I suspect that English common law is the tradition from which we derive our legislation. At least some of the Republicans there said her comments were offensive. The President was likely trying to find her a cabinet position in the next Administration, headed by him or his successor.
Finally,greyweirdo tells us why the idea "being brilliant is bad" is bullshit. It's probably not a "better to rule in Hell" sort of thing, but it does make sense. People who have become aware are frustrated often because of their awareness. That doesn't mean that it's bad to become aware, just that there will be a few who go mad trying to make the trip. And even the mad have their purpose. (Delerium of the Endless is wise in the childlike way.) Not to mention things like fairy doors, which will be spotted immediately by children, and that adults could pass by their entire lives and never notice. I'm not necessarily fully aware, but I do hope that I get there at some point.
Random thing for Postscript - speaking of awareness,hollygrahm, the picture that inspired what you use as an icon - the gent in the bowler hat with the apple? A picture of that is hanging on the second floor of the Ypsilanti District Library. Had you not had such an icon, I probably wouldn't have noticed it.
