I love the show Heros, but I'm a little worried that they may get into left wing propaganda with their portrayal of the evil Home land security. Also the whole time travel thing can get messy. I don't mind ignoring the laws of physics that do not allow time travel, but I hate it when stories are not consistent in their own world's laws. From ( Read more... )

I've noticed something that seems to cross many aspects of society, that is showing up at work.  I believe the work load of corporate bureaucracy is kept at an equilibrium state by the people whose job such bureaucracy depends on.   Therefore when ever productivity is increased by better production systems, the complexity of bureaucracy will ( Read more... )

M&D are in town for Christmas.  Whenever they visit I get home sick.  I don't really think "homesickedness" is based on missing the good old days, but more of,  I wish I had more time left.  I don't really wish I was younger as much as I just wish I had more time left.  No, I'm not dying of some chronic disease, I'm just sad that we've all got a ( Read more... )

To lay hatred on them just for that status could be considered the equivalent ( Read more... )

The old axiom of, "there are no stupid ?'s" only applies to small children; yet, I've noticed many adults that still seem to believe this - and I say they seem to believe it because they ask stupid ?'s ( Read more... )

A Supreme court case has brought this debate into the main stream recently. I find it very silly since, following the rules of logic, there can be no debate. This is because the known fact behind both ideas have too many holes to fully guarentee on over the other ( Read more... )

I had a depressing thought recently. Actually, it's not depressing in as much it undoes a hopeful thought I've had for years. It all started when the movie rain man came out and all the news shows were about idiot savants. I used to think there is some way to unleash that power in every one, the key is to keep the savant part but lose the idiot ( Read more... )
