… and that’s how I like it.
R in today’s edition of txyankee: “Let me remind you: Evolution is not a theory, it is a scientific fact. There are many theories as to the driving force(s) behind it. And the Holy See issued a statement or whatever they call it that ‘Evolution is not in conflict with the Bible or the teachings of the Catholic Church’ some years ago.”
J’s NyQuil-ridden and off-the-cuff remark on those who benefit from science yet ridicule it: “I have a cold and the doctor says medicine won’t work. Well, I’ll just get another opinion and have my anitibiotics and then I’ll sue you (even though I have no concept of what you’re doing or talking about) and then … OH NOES why are these bacteria eating my flesh?”
I’m not a nerd. Of course, Dr A is one and proud of it too…
Now is your chance:
It is ashamed that this country has lost focused on what is important during these election debates. On every major media source, on line, radio and TV talk shows, everyone is talking about the war this, or the war that.. It make me mad that nobody is talking about Katrina, New Orleans, the gulf coast and FEMA and how this adminstration clearly showed its true colors at home in a time when it was even more important than most of the Iraq stuff. Here is what I am going to be posting at these sites:
“Some people might consider all this “stay the course” and other Iraq war talk debatable. But, when you look at how this administration handled Katrina and the Gulf coast it becomes very clear how incompetent they are at governing and taking care of the real important issues. The issues at home. More than 750,000 people lost their homes. Many of them still have no relief and the billions spent on recovery was mostly sucked up by Halliburton and other middle companies that were not from the devastated areas. Small businesses that were ruined in the disaster areas have not received the relief they were promised. Why should Halliburton and other cozy companies, receive the lion’s share of relief dollars? Why were people left stranded for days?
“
The biggest thing these guys want to do right now is steer the national debates away from this foul up. lets not let them do this. You guys should go to these web-sites and help keep these important issues alive in these discussions. Speak up New Orleans! Call in on these national radio shows and ask the question “Why aren’t we talking about Katrina, Fema, and Global warming?”
Nerds?! You CAN’T mean me in this group. I would never admit to being one of those. And in fact, if I find out you did include me, right after I finish watching Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica, I shall pen you a strongly worded letter denying it completely.
Happy weekend.
I wish I could be a “Nerd” but I have to settle for “Sophisticated Technologist”.
I fancy myself more of a classic geek, thank you.
