I really do enjoy reading your posts. You have a truly gifted talent for word manipulation (and I don't mean that you manipulate ideas. I shouldn't have to say that, but just so we're clear). Have you ever considered writing a novel or short stories? If you could get past the what has become the corporation of publishing, I really think you'd be a hit. Just food for thought.
I do agree with the inconsistency issue (philosophically speaking), but I was thinking in a legal context. That is, whether or not the constitution relegates to the federal government or states to decide the issue. I'm really not familiar enough to address the issue accurately. I've just heard the issue raised. Again, I'm pro-choice. I'm just addressing whether or not states have the right to self-determination or whether the constitution deprives them of that right on this specific issue. Does the constitution have the right to abrogate individual state legislation regarding reproductive rights? I'm being redundant, so I'll just shuttup.
That was one of the cutest videos i've ever seen, even when watching it in the Psych lab with no sound. I really, really wanted to hear the noises that the crow was making. The suspense is killing me.
BULLETIN FLAH - I have only a crappy-ass wireless connection at the moment, but I am, technically, reconnected. Hopefully this will also be only temporary, and I'll be back on a cable connection soon. Wireless hasn't impressed me much, so far, and I'm not likely to be using it often or for sustained periods of time.
To anyone who cares, my computer has died. This means that I will not be able to access the site with any regularity at all for the immediately foreseeable future. That's why I'm cold and unresponsive. Of course, I've no idea whatsoever how long I'll be thus deprived.
If you send me a message, it will be routed to my email (which I can check... Read More
If it's any consolation, I'm about to throw my comp out the window 'cause it only works for about 10 mins at a time. I guess I gotta get ready to drop some dough on a new one...
My old entry had sixty-two comments, so I reckon it's time to update. I have nothing in particular to say, so here's a letter I just wrote to the White House:
"I urge you to stop the Iraq escalation.
"I am a patriot. I am justifiably proud of our Republic's historic role in the defeat of Fascism and Bolshevism. Our nation was born in a... Read More
Your letter is perfect. I thinik the only way anyone in the white house would have read it would have been to write it in crayon. That is about the level of intelligent thought they can muster. The effort is worthy, even if the results weren't there.
I'm an atheist. I don't believe in reincarnation. Let's get that out there, first.
I'm a Buddhist, of course, but a pretty lousy one. I eat meat, swear, drink, and have sex when I can (all too rarely, of course). And I'm also a Buddhist who follows the interpretation that while the characteristics of ourselves may be repeated through lifetimes, our egos die with the... Read More
I guess it is glorious, and depends on what side of the bed I roll out of. Though my boss, and the ovaries are making it less glorious by the day.
It is just work. Some days I do wake up and go "holy shit! I'm in ant fucking arctica", but mostly I just do not take notice. I will say this though, since being here I now realize I will never paint my walls white again...
So, I'm reading The End of Faith by Sam Harris. I can't say as agree with his thesis entirely - for my own part, god-based religion is always delusional, but not necessarily always pernicious - but I appreciate the militant note he supplies to the arguments in favor of secular realism, and I appreciate further the wedge he's attempting to drive between liberalism and relativism....

I haven't a boyfriend or roommates and I called everyone I cared to speak to last night when I got home and realized I was alone and still drunk and still annoyingly friendly. So I turned to the internet and started a thread.
The calendar that's still up on my wall is one of those Magnetic Poetry ones, which I thought I'd use like crazy throughout the year. I was wrong. I think maybe I'll look for something with baskets of dogs this year. (Side-note: I love how in type, usually, no one has an accent. Sometimes when I'm writing shit out I'll say it aloud, and I said that last sentence out loud, and had to laugh at how horrible an accent I have--"I think maybe'll'look fuh somethin' wit' baskets of dawgs this yeeah.")
