Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason
and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all,
then accept it and live up to it.
--Buddha

Our nephew is staying with us for a couple of days. Last night I went into the guest bedroom/library/game room, and do you know what I saw? My nephew and my wife jumping on the bed! I asked him if that was something he was supposed to be doing. He said, "only if Aunt Vic is doing it too." Good boy.
"In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion."

I need to know if she really thinks dinosaurs were here 4000 years ago. That's an important... I want to know that. I really do, because she's going to have the nuclear codes.

Let it be known to those whose habit it is to admire the disregard of authority, that there may be great men even under bad emperors, and that obedience and submission, when joined to activity and vigor, may attain a glory which most men reach only by a perilous career, utterly useless to the state, and closed by an ostentatious death.

Quote of the day: "hell yeah, I like it when my box is hanging off of someone's belt."
We're driking kiwi-watermelon smoothies and watching Bible Mysteries: Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. We came up with a new party game. Or rather, I came up with it and forgot to mention it to her. Every time you see a pot, you have to say "pot" and take a hit. It's pretty fun when watching archaeological documentaries.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

A quote from House Representative Tammy Baldwin (WI), the first openly gay member of Congress:
"So, if you dream of a world in which you can put your partner's picture on your desk, then put his picture on your desk... and you will live in such a world.
And if you dream of a world in which you can walk down the street holding your partner's hand, then hold her hand... and you will live in such a world.
If you dream of a world in which there are more openly gay elected officials, then run for office... and you will live in such a world.
And if you dream of a world in which you can take your partner to the office party... then take them to the party. I do, and now I live in such a world.
Remember, there are two things that keep us oppressed...them and us. We are half of the equation. There will not be a magic day when we wake up and it's now OK to express ourselves publicly. We make that day by doing things publicly... first in small numbers, then in greater numbers, until it's simply the way things are and no one thinks twice."

Bottled Water Isn't Healthier Than Tap, Report Reveals
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/02/0224_060224_bottled_water.html?source=rss
Humans' thirst for bottled water now tops 40 billion gallons a year. But campaigners say the portable potable really isn't any safer than tap water in most countries.
