The Illuminated Draconian Pharaohs Wish to Continue Their Mind Control of the Sheep Masses

I'm too tired to write up anything about this article. Opinionated? Of course. We don't live in a world where everything is black and white, but our government appears to think that way or would like us to think that way.

Fixies

SF boys showing you how its done. I need to flip my hub over to fixie... and save up for lots of wheels with all the skidding.

Just got a new surly 39t chain ring and it rides beautiful.

That is all.

The End Is Nigh

Texas governor Rick Perry has appointed a creationist to head the Texas State Board of Education

"Texas Freedom Network president Kathy Miller … noted that in 2003, Dr. McLeroy was one of four board members who voted against proposed high school biology textbooks because he felt their coverage of evolution was “too dogmatic” and did not include possible flaws in Charles Darwin’s theory of how life on Earth evolved from lower forms."

"It is wrong to teach opinion as fact," he said.


Because I don't care to put it nicely, how does belief differ from opinion?

It is also unconstitutional to teach religion as science, so I'm not sure what he's expecting to accomplish. This country has always had God woven into its blood. The puritans came here seeking a life where they could practice their beliefs without persecution.

It's on our money, "In God We Trust". It's in our pledge, "One nation under God" and it's everywhere you look in government buildings. Gazing downwards from on top of our Capital Building which houses the Supreme Court is a statue of Moses holding the 10 commandments. Bible verses can be seen on buildings and monuments throughout Washington D.C. You can't build a country on nothing, our forefathers understood this. But they also understood the right of every individual to have their own beliefs.

"We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God" -James Madison

"It can not be emphesised too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians... not on religion but
on the Gospel of Jesus Christ" -Patrick Henry

A model to live by, that is all.

Texas:Doomed Article

Outside the box

"A classroom full of 10-year-old students is asked to solve a problem with children crossing the street on the way to school. The children come up with ideas that have been used successfully in other places: traffic calming devices, overpasses, fluorescent jackets and speed limits. All these ideas are conventional, exactly what the teacher wants to hear.

Except for one. A student recommends that the school board sell the property and move the classroom online. This is not what the teacher was expecting.

This idea may not be practical, popular, or even possible, but when it’s ridiculed by the class it might be the last independent thought that the student dares to express — the death of another independent thinker."

Reunited

After about 2 months of no World of Warcraft, I return. I immediately created a new character to meet up with Chris and level together. I miss hours of playing WoW in my room at the house with him sitting on the bed, shouting back and forth giving orders or laughing at something no one else would ever get.

The Wizard the Tower & the Internet

As I desended from the tower the cold of the stone stairs bled through my soles, and the leather began to become brittle with every step. Reaching the forest floor I gazed skyward thoughtful of what the old wizard had said. His hair so white, and his beard peppered with the sands of time, "Sometime between 1 and 5pm the cable guy will be there, just keep your phone on you".

And so here I sit waiting for my own tv and internet which I haven't had in well over a month.

edit: bleh decent

A new hope

No not the movie (I don't know why I don't own any of them), but a new blog. Okay so it's not as earth shattering as it sounds, but I thought I should start something new. A new place to put down my thoughts. Not what I ate or omfg look at these shoes but maybe something a bit more meaningful. In a world full of meaningless, mundane, trivial, useless jargon maybe I could write about something a little more, if you will... from the heart. So here it goes.

edit: Ok I lied, I will be posting about stuff in my life. I'm not that boring.
