A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.
"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell
Texas now requires religious instruction in school. Oops. Sorry. Christian religious instruction in school. You're kid's a Jew? A Muslim? A Buddhist? Tough. They have to study the Christian Bible. Welcome to Jesusistan.
What astounds me is that people are objecting to Obama's speech to schoolkids tomorrow because he's "indoctrinating" the children, but they don't have any problem with indoctrinating kids this way.
