I’m probably the most unfollowed blog on tumblr, and this post definitely will help me keep that title.
There was a libertarian vlogger named EagleEye1975. He wasn’t an anti-statist and he straw-manned the fuck out of us. It has been years since I referenced the “non-aggression principle” in any…

From Jarrett Walker of Human Transit
He says this about Transit, in his Book, which I am putting on my list,
“I. “It takes me where I want to go.”
2. “It takes me when I want to go.”
3. “It’s a good use of my time.”
4. “It’s a good use of my money.”
5. “It respects me.”
6. “I can trust it.”
7. “It gives me freedom to change my plans.”
These are goals that the HSR should, like all...

U. S. President Obama
“Their philosophy is simple: we are better off when everyone is left to fend for themselves and play by their own rules. Well, I’m here to say they are wrong,” Mr Obama said.

This came in at number 10, way too low on the list, but it was there
10. Don’t be afraid of admitting what you don’t know. I was traveling once through the Sinai to Israel and I caught myself thinking “Is English the main language in Israel?” Nah, it couldn’t be, but, what is it then?

If the target audience for an advert on the HSR is the transgendered community then it is cowardly but sly. If the target audience is the ‘straight’ community then it is only cowardly augmented by homophobia.

Byron Parker vs Garney Henley
9 career interceptions returned for 7 points. If it stops a drive its worth 14 points. Think about that. Byron is incredible. But the best?
15 interceptions in a season still has the record, by Garney. In a 16 game season. And you were avoided like the plague. An interception was a rarer thing in a non passing game.
Think about that. Byron is incredible, and so was Garney, who is in his...
My mild excuse for violent paganism
According to the american versions of the english bible, and according to its self proclaimed experts, the world and its attendant universe started a few millennia ago. It will all end -well the precise date you understand is in gods hands, but it will end soon, any day now. Real soon.
And so it is written.
According to the best computations of science, the universe began, from what we know...

Two out of three ain't bad.
Here is how you know I have had a stroke.
Forgetting stuff is part of getting old. Forgetting new stuff is a bad sign, but forgetting old is somehow worse, in a social sense, but its the constant new stuff gone that sells that forgetting disease (edit and add later).
Sometimes there is old stuff we would rather forget but we treasure the old stuff we want to remember, we constantly remind...

This is why religion should be banned and vilified
Making science the bad guy makes sense to these whack-jobs.
People who can give credibility to an old text, and more credibility the older it is, are too far gone to be allowed an opinion. This shit has got to stop, The vigour of your faith has nothing to do with the veracity of your beliefs. Holding your breath until you turn blue will just get us to call an ambulance.

..the Mother Jones piece afore. My neologism of the day-Christo-fascism. This is the small god of this, this aptly named Cain is Louisiana.
How pathetic is it that this is an almost only in America phenomenon? We need history to equal it, from Rome to Berlin, from B.C. to WWII.
