MONEY MONEY MONEY You think about a mega-church like the one they are visiting, that has a day-to-day operation cost of ~250k. That's 91.25 million a year, just for running the building. These places turn profits, if you don't believe me, go Google some of these mega-preachers and the homes they own/lifestyles they live. And remember what Jesus said.

So the Israeli Government, decides to start an illegal nuclear weapons program; much as we assert that Iran is doing. It kidnaps an Israeli citizen, who was fired for attendi
is a video of Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins discussing Harris's new book "The Moral Landscape". It's 1 hour and 17 minutes, so be ready for a lengthy lecture if you are looking to watch it. Taped at The Sheldonian Theatre, University of Oxford, April 12th 2011. I'll also link to
, which is Sam Harris's TED Talk on the same subject, because it gets referred to. I'd post a transcript of the book, The Moral Landscape, but I don't have one; here's the wiki. I know what I think, but if someb
Here is a series of short videos from Christopher Hitchens. I highly recommend watching these tid-bits if anyone thinks they might be interested in his books. It's good stuff, IMO.
Alot of people want to know why Afghanistan matters, well there you have it in one good example. Would it really be in the interest of the American people to break our promise to the Afghan people, for the second time; and let them fall back under the influence of Wahhabist suicide-murderers? I don't think it is, granted there's alot of money being spent, but we have already committed to them, and "pulling out" now is more than just an act of saving the US from excess military expenditures.
So, here's the videos, there's 25-minutes in this post to watch.
Female circumcision in Islam is fairly commonplace, and a pretty gnarly practice; with even more grotesque related practices. Women in Sanaa Wahhabi Sunnism on the rise, spreading it's cultural standards onto the already second-class women of other regions in the Middle East. Young and Invisible Domestic worker abuse (a fairly global issue), but something that buds from the arising middle class in Yemen.

We do have serious ecological issues to hash out. Paul does sound like a bit of a liberal-hippie whack-job, but he's a pretty smart guy; the work he's done with DARPA and the DoD and bio-defense stuff is ground-breaking, along with just about everything he's into now. Here's an interview w/ Paul Stamets, parts

I'll repeat he does sound whacky. So yeah, there's that.
All I can say is there should be a Bill of Children's Rights, and among the rights is protection from obviously mentally defective parents like this one.
Mormon Prophet: Blacks Represent Satan On Earth Mormon Prophet Testifies Blacks are EVIL A Mormon Explaining How Blacks are Cursed What's funny is you can find black people promoting the Mormon Church nowadays. I don't think Voltaire was just talking about acts of atrocious nature, like genocide and what not; but atrocities of thought; like black people promoting a Church that was officially racist until 1978-79, an atrocity of common sense if you will. Do some research on the Mormon Chu
Here's the vid. (3:45) Betrand Russell was so damn smart.
(1 minute) Local news reports covering this story. More news stuff. I like how the possession of a substance that is less harmful than legal ones (like alcohol) is enough for the SWAT team to show up at your door and kill you. They also didn't let the paramedics see him until after they cleared the house with a robot for other threats, and after they evacuated his wife and kid. It's a good day to be an American, no?
