Journal Journal: Freedom of speech gets smacked down again 2

in the name of god

Western governments and a broad alliance of activist groups have voiced dismay about the religious defamation text, which adds to recent efforts to broaden the concept of human rights to protect communities of believers rather than individuals.

Journal Journal: And who wants to force you to buy insurance? 6

Who else? Hillary's golden goose. And this is another payment to her for dropping the nomination attempt. Makes me think she's actually the acting president. And why do they want it? For the benefit of the market, of course. It's certainly not for any of ours. I suppose the Wall Street guys are drooling over this. More free government money, only this time it comes straight from us. We need to throw the money changers out of the temple. There's only one fair way of doing this, but it hardly seems likely. Without our right to health, where's our right to life? Oh, yeah that's only for those who aren't actually alive yet. Fuck the living, right?

RG, you might be right. If this goes down, it would make this the worse president AND congress EVAR. Plenty of republicans are behind this. Mo money Mo money Mo money. Of course if they were to legalize the evil weed, it would go a long way towards mitigating that. Pretty safe bet that won't happen without a hail of bullets. Prohibition is big business. And the business of America is business. And they're ready to nuke the planet to protect it.

UPDATE: Here's a beaut(Butte?)..."Insurance works because policyholders pay into their plans when healthy, and have their medical bills paid when they are sick," Oh, do tell, Senator Baucus. Hmmm, let's see...Ah yes...Very elightening, but not at all surprising.

Journal Journal: Sometimes

The democrats really are the good guys. Baby steps, but it's still progress.

The State Assembly in the past had proposed repealing the drug laws, but the effort was always blocked by Senate Republicans, many of whom represent largely rural, Upstate districts where most of the state's prisons are located.

Says it all...

Gotta work harder on the feds.

Journal Journal: Finally! 3

I can put the keypad where it belongs. Well, there ya go, BD, I guess that would make me a "lefty", wouldn't it? Eh, maybe in a couple of years I'll be hammering on one of these.

I really hate people who put spaces in their URLs.

Enlightenment

Journal Journal: While you preach against stealing, do you steal? 14

You that forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You that abhor idols, do you rob temples? You that boast in the law, do you dishonour God by breaking the law? For, as it is written, 'The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.'

Blessed serendipity. No matter how hard I try to repress my Catholic upbringing, it always finds a way to crash the party. We can claim no thought as purely our own. Everybody else already knows.

Oh man! Pure Seinfeld! The best journal about nothing, ever.

D_R? Congratulations. You kept him going for five days. Most excellent. Bonus points for getting him to make the hyper jump from his room of mirrors to your place for another whole day.
