"Rafael Paliero has been using ear plugs recently to deal with the boos he's been receiving."
- Oh, poor baby. Ya know what? You shouldn't have cheated and then lied about it before congress!
"Peace Mom" to go to Maine to protest the flying of the Blue Angels. Claiming that we should not "worship the 'gods of war.'"
- No no, the 'gods of fame' are far better. We should rather have a far less technologically advanced military so that we require more boots on the ground and definitely more casualties. Great idea. Another protester thinking through her emotional knee-jerk feelings!
"Ask Amy" in the Boston herald has recently been using her advice column to spread her own political views and agenda! She received a scalding letter from a man who'd been married for 60 years chastising her for encouraging people to shack up before marriage. She sited imaginary studies that claim there is no difference between the divorce rate of people who do cohabitate prior to nuptials as compared to those who don't (and chose to ignore the people who live together with the intention of marriage who never even make it to the alter). She then said "and based on your view of marriage, I'm sure you are hoping that those who currently are not allowed to enjoy the security of marriage will soon be able to marry each other." She also encouraged a 14 year old girl who thinks that she may be "transsexual" (not homosexual, mind you, transsexual) to read up on it and see if she is indeed a boy trapped in a girls body.
- What part of advice does she think means agenda? There is good advice and there is using an "advice column" to promote your own opinion. I understand that a large part of advice is opinion, but there is a difference between advising based on viewpoint and promoting controversial agendas. Especially with the marriage issue. The writer of the letter made no mention for or against homosexual unions, but she saw it as a chance for her to lobby for her own political views.
There's a group of eight people in a London zoo posing as an animal exhibit. There's a sign near them that says "Warning: Humans in their natural environment."
- While this may seem innocent and somewhat humorous (or juvenile and stupid) there is a serious message that they are attempting to softly portray. That there is no difference between people and animals. Of course PETA is eating this up (not literally because PETA can only eat things that rhyme with Kung Fu) but this is where evolution has led us. We are no longer any better than the tuna I had on my sandwich today, or the kelp that tuna fed on. If this is true, let's close every hospital because the old and the sick are the first to go for every other species on the planet so that the young and the strong can survive. Sorry Grandma.
