Brattleboro and Marlboro Take a Stand
via Significant Pursuit by Renaissance Guy by renaissanceguy on March 04, 2008
... The most misguided aspect of the resolutions is that the Congress approved the President’s decision to invade Iraq and have voted for the necessary spending bills. Unless they want to indict every member of Congress who voted for the war, including Senator Hillary Clinton, they are being disingenuous.

Bite Me!

... pay volunteers $4000 to allow a malaria-infected mosquito to bite them. Afterwards they will cure them. The purpose is to test some experimental vaccines. Would you do it? I had malaria once when I was living in Africa. It is the worst illness I’ve ever had with recurring fever, chills, headache, nausea, fatigue, and muscle weakness. Nevertheless, it’s a tempting offer.

Movie Review– Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
via Significant Pursuit by Renaissance Guy by renaissanceguy on April 24, 2008
... they have given a final death blow to the film’s credibility by saying that it is propaganda. Yes, it’s propaganda. So what? It’s no more and no less propaganda than Fahrenheit 9/11 or than An Inconvenient Truth. What matters is not whether the film is propaganda but whether or not its assertions are true. Unless someone convinces me otherwise, I beleive that most of them are.

... at a much higher rate in their community than among white people. They are even charging Planned Parenthood, hyperbolically, with genocide. They want federal funding of the organization cut. As a young lady named Lilly Epps [quoted by FOX News] said, “I am a mad black woman. Words cannot say how angry I am, how ignorant I was. But I thank God I came to the truth.”

... and future drilling for oil (Source: Neal Boortz, “The Truth About Polar Bears“) So now they’ve done it. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service has added the polar bear to the list of threatened species. They have classified a species whose population has grown as a threatened species. Why?

Update: The Flaw in the Quiz

... it. There are other flaws with the quiz. For example, the question about cutting taxing and spending is too specific. It asks if you agree with cutting both taxes and spending by 50%. Well, what if I believe in cutting spending by 50% and taxes by 30%, in order to pay down our national debt. What if I believe in cutting spending but not cutting taxes? You get the point.
