Why I Don't Care If You Think I'm A Poopy-Head

Thu Jul 26, 2007 4:38 PM EDT

Lately, Newsvine has been abuzz with the latest 'You Guys Don't Play Fair So I'm Taking My Ball And Going Home' melodrama. I won't bother to discuss it in detail, as the matter has been talked to death elsewhere, and it stopped being interesting a while ago.

Fri Jul 20, 2007 11:35 PM EDT

I just, for the first time, clicked 'Ignore This Author', and I feel a little guilty about it. It's not that I shouldn't have done it - it's not that kind of guilt - it's that I would rather not have. I didn't really see any other choice, though.

On the Value of Life and the Nature of Society

Wed Jul 11, 2007 11:30 PM EDT

Just spent some time wallowing through (and, of course, putting in my two cents' worth) yet another abortion discussion here at Newsvine. As usual, I completely fail to understand the way that some people think.

Digging Their Own Grave?

Tue May 1, 2007 11:07 PM EDT

Anyone notice what's going on over at Digg (and at a number of other places about the internet)? It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. My money's on freedom of information and a relatively unregulated internet. We shall see.

Vote against monstrous behavior

Mon Nov 6, 2006 6:19 PM EST

Like many others, I have my suspicions about the timing of Saddam's sentence. The proximity of this decision to the mid-term elections casts considerable doubt on the legitimacy of Saddam's execution, not that it had any real legitimacy to start with.

Why Intelligent Design Cannot Win

Wed Apr 5, 2006 4:46 PM EDT

It's an old debate. It started almost the instant Darwin published his ideas on natural selection. And it was (and is) a debate that neither side could ever win. Mainly because it's not a debate.

.......what was I talking about?

Sun Mar 26, 2006 8:16 AM EST

The attempted impeachment of Bill Clinton was a major turning point for this country. Not because of anything Clinton did (or did not do), nor because of anything the republicans did (or did not do) in response to it.

Mon Mar 20, 2006 2:59 PM EST

I previously seeded an article about a standardized test given to eighth graders in Kansas in the ninteenth century. I received a decent amount of feedback about it, both here and elsewhere. There's some who feel that the test is not a real one (I think it is).
