Suspension of Disbelief

Since Google now owns Blogspot and reverted everything over to their servers, I was forced to make a few changes. Those changes included the now missing information in the sidebar. As Google likes to control how everything is done, perhaps more than you realize, I can't any longer alter it the way I had from it's original format. So, I may eventually figure out the new template language and how to manipulate Google's widget engine, but until that time, this is what we've got and I'm not going to stress over it. As for the new format in general, that was my change and had nothing to do with Google's meddling. I would like to pose one question though. At what point does Google become Microsoft? What I mean is at what point does the object of non-conformity become conform itself? Bureaucracy now abounds from Google, and I see the beginning of the end for their success. As always, FLYFREEFOREVER .

Mistaken stupidity sucks. I'll say it again: MISTAKEN STUPIDITY SUCKS. It has been the cause of more than its share of hurt. It's started wars even. One leader misrepresents the customs of another and we're a hair's width away from an "international conflict". (We don't call it war anymore.) Of course, the leader probably didn't mean what he said or did, most especially to the affect that it had on the recipient. And now the two nations are at odds over triviality and far be it for me to mediate the dispute behind it. I am not an unbiased observer in this game of life. I'm sure that at one point or another in my life I've caused others harm with the slip of my tongue. It wasn't intentional of course, just a slip. All I hope is that it was a slip, a mistake I won't soon repeat. For anyone I've wronged this way, all I can give is my apology and hope that in time I will regain your trust. I'm sorry, I truly am, for any such undue h...

This is the reason why God cannot exist.... Question: Can God heat up a burrito so hot that even he cannot bear to eat it? That's all, that's the answer to whether or not God can exist. The answer is no.

I want to know where the idea that I should accept everyone's beliefs came from. Yes, yes, I value that they have an opinion and that they are free to believe what they wish, but this should not also entail that I am barred from trying to change their minds. If one is wrong in math or physics do we not correct them? Is it not our duty to correct them? Then why are we forbidden to correct ones mistaken political or ideological beliefs? Some say because there is no absolute answer; but I would charge that neither is morality and the Church seems to like to do quite a bit of persuading. At any rate, it is the duty of all man to make their best attempt at fixing the problems in the world. Only whence we come together and debate and compromise can we make change. (Compromise of course is progressionary . Neither side gets what they want, but it provides progressives in America a leg up because they now have a basis from which to fight in the future for their absolute goals be those wha...

Man will walk the Earth in peace, not however, until the dissolution of religion. It divides us and submits us to another. Man cannot be free of itself until it is free of the slavery of their gods. A time will come when rational thought permeates our thick-headed foolishness. Gods are the justification of hate, of separation, of inequality. How can one be free of hate, of division, or of inequality when yet they stick to a sectarian community. Divisions in the heart are subject of division in community. And never shall we be free until we think ourselves at heart and in existence equal, thus banishing the sectarian divisions of religious belief. For the world to be good we must push aside the archaism of this life being a transience between birth and the next life, a way to suffer and earn eternal bliss. Until man focuses on the here and now, we will remain imperfect, we will remain divided, and hateful. Until we decide that this life, be there one after it or not, is worthy of effort...

V is for Victory and it's good enough for me. Haha, haha, hahaha. I told you so. True blue through and through. And dispose one bottle of Rum and we're set for a two year Duck season. Just so long as we don't go hunting in mixed company. Liable to get shot. Ah the feeling of a good firing... Two for the Nancy boys and six more in this Op's Ed. And remember never to count on a Red Virgin you'll always draw short. Long live Blue's clues.

What is man but the culmination of all their actions? We are what we make ourselves. No one can make these decisions for us. We believe what we choose to believe. We like what we choose to like. Hate what we choose to hate. We are influencible yes, but not stuck to conforming to that influence. In the end, we must make a decision and that decision guides who we are and who we will become. This is the person that others see in you and the person that they like or hate. That said, vote tomorrow. Vote for the way that your children will see you and your peers. Vote for the way you want to be perceived. Just vote.
