I like the way Bill Whittle puts many things and really like the way he puts things in this video. I warn you though, there is a very frightening and horrendous clip played from about 0:55 to 1:10 in this video:

I am a fan of the collected works of one Ian Thornley and have mentioned such several times. I was excited for a few minutes when I found out about this contest:

A few years back the band I was in played a show that benefited Operation Smile. This was the first occasion that I had heard of this organization that helps mostly kids with cleft lips and/or palates and other facial deformities. After that show, even though I was a dirt poor college student I gave money to the organization cause it seemed to be a very nice cause.

The young boy that I put in the end of this list named Erik Martin passed away. He made it quite a long way for someone with so many obstacles and you have to admire that.

The title may be a bit overly dramatic but we should all be at least a little disappointed. Some time ago I saw that Nike had filed for a patent on something that got me very excited. I saw an announcement the other day that I thought would be the realization of years of hopes. Sadly this was not the case and I must voice my disappointment.

I am a big fan of capitalism. Although it is not my pie-in-the-sky favorite dream system, I see it as a system that truly reflects what is in the character of the people. I see it as a system that can automatically punish those who have poor character. I have argued that what we have in the U.S. is really an ugly hybrid of capitalism and various oligarchical traits.

If you know me you know I am incredibly hard to please when it comes to selecting someone to represent me. I have paid some attention to Marco Rubio and have found him to be a person who understands a great many principles that I espouse myself. That is not to say that I agree wholeheartedly with anything he has said or will say. I just see him as one of the few who understand important principles. I saw this video today that pushed me even further into his camp, in spite of my not agreeing 100% with everything mentioned by him. It is just too bad that I can’t vote for him in anything coming up.

You gotta be quick. I just move too slow I guess. This is almost as bad as the time I invented Twitter (true story) and then Twitter beat me to it. This is a good one.
