Help me stop a global pandemic!

I've decided that I'm going to stop believing in evolution. If I don't believe that living things change over time then bird flu is a figment of my imagination. If enough people don't believe it can happen, it can't happen, right? We've been duped by the liberal media to think that bird flu is a problem. Hell, we've been duped into thinking evolution actually happens. I mean really, so what if proof is everywhere we look? So what if children look like their parents, or farmers have bred cows to produce more milk, or the Cold keeps coming back in a new form year after year. It's all bunk! How naive we have been! If only we pray harder and suspend all belief in reality things will be ok. It's like clapping when Tinker Bell is dying. If we clap loud enough, those little viruses won't mutate and sweep the planet.

Who's with me? Down with evolution! Clap, clap, clap.

You'll have to forgive me, I've been reading a book on the Scopes "Monkey" trial back in the 1920's. How sad that in almost 100 years (!) the argument from the Christian right hasn't changed. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. They don't believe in evolution after all. At least they practice what they preach.

Absolutely. Glad you spoke up. Even the Catholic church now has no problem with evolution. According to this site:

"the Church does not have an official position on whether various life forms developed over the course of time. However, it says that, if they did develop, then they did so under the impetus and guidance of God, and their ultimate creation must be ascribed to him."

Making Eye Babies

Colleges often have a lot of rules the students need to follow. After all, a bunch of 18-21 year olds can't really be expected to self-govern on their own, at least not 24/7, no matter how vehement they are that they can do just that. (I was 18-21 once myself so I know it's annoying to hear that. I don't mean all 18-21 year olds individually, I mean when they all get together in one place.) Then there are Christian Colleges which have more rules, often based on biblical teachings and moral dictates. Further down the spectrum is Bob Jones University* which considers the Christian colleges just too darn liberal so they piles on a bunch of morally based codes of behavior. Not to be outdone by the crazy liberal heathens at Bob Jones, Pensacola Christian College goes hog wild with the rules and moral imperatives and makes the Taliban look almost liberal. An article in the March 24th edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education explains some of the rules and regulations the stu...

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge...

Addendum to Resolutions

I'm adding two things to my New Year's Resolutions - 5) Read more using this list as a guide: 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. I have no idea how many I've already read. I'll have to make a spreadsheet. You can do anything with a spreadsheet. Not that you should , but you can. 6) Get a massage every 6-8 weeks . This probably doesn't need an explanation. I had one for only the 3rd time this week. It's been at least 4 years since my last one. My gym has a spa attached to it and they had an intern doing free massages. Hello? Sign me up! Now that I've had one I'm wanting more. If I eat out less I might even be able to justify it. I wonder if I can write it off on my taxes?
