A few points on same sex marriage while watching the debates at the Supreme Court and reading posts about it. First, to those who state that marriage did not originate with government, it did though. It originated among early human groups, maybe living in cave. That was...
Well, I was listening to conservative talk radio (and calling into some shows) on the issue of marriage equality for gay couples, as this issue is before the U.S. Supreme Court right now. Now, one of the hosts stated that those young people who think of their elders...
Everyone of my age loved Mr. Rogers growing up. My age being the same age of watching the Incredible Hulk and MASH on television. Simply, Fred Rogers is one of the greatest and most wonderful men that our nation has ever produced. Although I an atheist and he was a...

I was listening to a conservative Jewish talk show host who I will only go by his initials, D.P. because I don't want to give him any unnecessary publicity. D.P. is of the opinion that agnostics should attend a church 26 weeks a year. Or a syngogue. To him agnostic means...
Cracked is one of my favorite websites. I read it every chance I can get. Very talented writers. It is a comedy website by the way, but it's not mindless comedy, like the early 90s' T.V. show, Step By Step. Which was barely a comedy, anyway. Cracked's articles are a series of...
Issues in the News: I. Global warming is the worst that has been seen since 11,000 years ago. That's a darn long time. It took 4000 years for the earth to warm 1.25 degrees C (which is over 2 degrees F) from 11,000 years ago to 7000 years ago. Tiny marine organisms were used...
Bunch of issues in the news: I. Two gay high school girls had a picture in their school yearbook removed by the school adminstration. The reason given is that it was too much of a display of affection. Maybe, or maybe not, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it was because...
Some interesting things happened in the news. I. A Republican legislator in Oregon is stating that there should be increased taxes on bicycles, because bike riders produce more global warming gases than cars. While I have my doubts that he even believes in global warming, I...
Clint Eastwood, and a group of other Republicans, filed a brief in support of marriage equality for gay men and gay women in the state of California. Good. Mr. Eastwood has always been a libertarian Republican, not beholden to the superstitions and dogma of the Republican...
Is there a god? Maybe, maybe not. But if a god exists, I strongly doubt it is the god of the Christian bible. It would be more like the god that many of America's Founding Fathers believed in two hundred years ago, a prime mover who set the universe in motion. The universe...

Congressman Rush Holt, a physicist by profession, gave a speech praising Charles Darwin on his birthday, February 12th. Strangely, Congressman Holt is not on the House Science Committee but Congrassman Broun is on it. Broun by the way, stated that evolution, embryology and...
I have written before about how the National Rifleman Association, or the NRA, is engaged in character attacks on President Obama. How it has opposed universal background checks while pretending that it isn't doing just that. Well, Jon Stewart put a slapdown on the NRA and...
