MSNBC Interview Not medically related, or about me, but this lady is a nut. I don’t want to say that I support the occupation of Iraq, I don’t, but mothers making emotional appeals help no one. Should we get out of Iraq, yes. Immediately, I don’t think so, but I’d really like to hear more from Iraqis and less of Cindy Sheehan. Listening to Cindy Sheehan is a waste of time.
It’s one thing to look at time and see how much of it there is. From the outside, I can see lots of hours in the morning, night and in between classes, on the train into school, there’s lots of time. In practice it dries up, gets wasted or lost to TV, family and fatigue. What’s really hard is that I’ve mostly learned my lesson. I’m good at procrastinating, which doesn’t help one bit.
Tempus Fugit, time flies.
Intelligent design is not science and does not belong in a biology class.
Intelligent design cannot be proven or dis-proven.
True or not it is not science. Philosophy, yes. History, yes. Theology, of course. Science, no. There are no two, equal sides. There’s science and religion. We should be far removed from this sort of discussion by now. It’s been almost 150 years since Darwin published The Origin of Species. That’s a lot of progress to ignore. This discussion is ridiculous, I have no problem with intelligent design (I have lots of problems with creationism...) though I feel that it’s an attempt by otherwise rational people to explain evolution in biblical terms. I’ve already given this more time than it deserves.
Phhttt.
It’s so close now. Just a couple of weeks away and I’ll be back in school. After, really, six years I’m going to school. The downside of all this is that I’m a freshman and very nearly 26 years old. The good news is that I’ve got enough credits to be a sophmore after this semester, and after this year I should be mostly out of the crap general classes that I have to suffer through.
I never seem to be at a loss for words or for opinions on controversial issues. Yet here I am, unable to write anything coherent. (What you can’t see about the last sentence is that I had to pause for 30 seconds before I could come up with the word coherent.) I think that I have a hard time writing something I think is incomplete. So, I know what to write about, but I don’t have the volumes of research, links and quotes to back it up. Interesting dilemma, can’t write because I don’t feel like I can back it up sufficiently. So I change layout and fun stuff like that. At least I got a Darwin Fish out of it. Feel free to leave me a note on the tagboard, or lots of notes, so I feel like someone actually sees what’s here.
