So the latest news in nyc is that they're opening a new high school for gays, lesbians, transexual and transgendered students in the fall. I'm unsure how this is a good solution to the harassment problem. How does segregation foster understanding? Seems to me they're sweeping the problem under the rug rather than dealing with the real issues.

Found out about some blogs that I'd not known about before. They're linked.

I'm itching to play cards again. It's been so long since I've played. I think Augs would be happy to hear me say this. Guess it's been a long time since I've had any bad beat stories. :) As long as I stay away from planet poker, I think I'll be doing okay.

here are the pro scans of the photos I had printed. The slide mount covered the heavy vignetting in the 2nd photo; I didn't even know it was there. :( too bad.

The photos look great in these cherry wood frames we bought. Between my photos and Xavier's, the living room looks like a gallery now :)

Okay

So it's been forever since I've made any comments on here. Sorry :) I'm still alive, and there'll be photos for the new place on here when everything is ready. maybe in another week or two.

In any case, check out this article from the NYTimes: The Bright Stuff by Daniel C. Dennett

Very interesting article. I think Mr Dennett makes some good points but they're lost in the elitism that you normally attribute to the stereotype of athiests and agnostics - in particular when he compares belief in God to belief in the Easter Bunny and ghosts.

I'm also intrigued to hear that moral relativists like Mr Dennett believe they are the 'moral backbone of the nation.'

Thoughts?

Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.

George: Great. Lay it on me.

Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.

George: That's what I want to know.

Condi: That's what I'm telling you.

George: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of China?

Condi: Yes.

George: I mean the fellow's name.

Condi: Hu.

George: The guy in China.

Condi: Hu.

George: The new leader of China.

Condi: Hu.

George: The Chinaman!

Condi: Hu is leading China.

George: Now whaddya' asking me for?

Condi: I'm telling you Hu is leading China.

George: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China?

Condi: That's the man's name.

George: That's who's name?

Condi: Yes.

George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of
China?

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle
East.

Condi: That's correct.

George: Then who is in China?

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Yassir is in China?

Condi: No, sir.

George: Then who is?

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Yassir?

Condi: No, sir.

George: Look, Condi. I need to know the name of the new leader of China.
Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.

Condi: Kofi?

George: No, thanks.

Condi: You want Kofi?

George: No.

Condi: You don't want Kofi.

George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And
then get me the U.N.

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.

Condi: Kofi?

George: Milk! Will you please make the call?

Condi: And call who?

George: Who is the guy at the U.N?

Condi: Hu is the guy in China.

George: Will you stay out of China?!

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.

Condi: Kofi.

George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.

(Condi picks up the phone.)

Condi: Rice, here.

George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should
send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese
food in the Middle East?

For guitar lovers, environmental issues are sticky. On the one hand, we love our wood guitars. On the other hand, some of these woods are quickly becoming scarce.

check out this article :)

"For crying out loud," says Taylor, "you see musicians singing save the rain forest songs on Brazilian rosewood guitars."

lol..
