OMAHA, Neb -- State Senator Ernie Chambers is suing God. He says it to prove a point about frivolous lawsuits.
Chambers says senators periodically have offered bills prohibiting the filing of certain types of suits. He says his main objection is the constitution requires that the doors to the courthouse be open to all. Chambers said, "Thus anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody - even God."
Chambers said he decided to file this lawsuit after a suit was filed in early September in federal court against Lancaster County Judge Jeffre Cheuvront. He's the judge who was hearing a sexual assault case, where the woman wants to use the words "rape and victim" during her testimony.
Chambers lawsuit, which was filed on Friday in Douglas County Court, seeks a permanent injunction ordering God to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terroristic threats.
The lawsuit admits God goes by all sorts of alias, names, titles and designations and it also recognizes the fact that the defendant is “Omnipresent”.
In the lawsuit Chambers says he’s tried to contact God numerous times, “Plaintiff, despite reasonable efforts to effectuate personal service upon Defendant (“Come out, come out, wherever you are”) has been unable to do so.”
The suit also requests that the court given the “peculiar circumstances” of this case waive personal service. It says being Omniscient, the plaintiff assumes God will have actual knowledge of the action.
The lawsuit accuses God “of making and continuing to make terroristic threats of grave harm to innumerable persons, including constituents of Plaintiff who Plaintiff has the duty to represent.”
It says God has caused, “fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects, and the like.”
The suit also says God has caused, “calamitous catastrophes resulting in the wide-spread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants including innocent babes, infants, children, the aged and infirm without mercy or distinction.”
Chambers also says God “has manifested neither compassion nor remorse, proclaiming that Defendant “will laugh” when calamity comes.
Chambers asks for the court to grant him a summary judgement. He says as an alternative, he wants the judge to set a date for a hearing as “expeditiously” as possible and enter a permanent injunction enjoining God from engaging in the types of deleterious actions and the making of terroristic threats described in the lawsuit.

Funny, the list of things that describe the type of person who would be vulnerable for exploitation and use in espionage all describe the President...
* Drug or alcohol abuse.
* Repeated irresponsibility.
* An "above the rules" attitude.
* Financial irresponsibility.
* Repeated impulsive behaviors.

FBI to restrict student freedoms

US university students will not be able to work late at the campus, travel abroad, show interest in their colleagues' work, have friends outside the United States, engage in independent research, or make extra money without the prior consent of the authorities, according to a set of guidelines given to administrators by the FBI.
Federal agents are visiting some of the New England's top universities, including MIT, Boston College, and the University of Massachusetts, to warn university heads about the dangers of foreign spies and terrorists stealing sensitive academic research.
FBI is offering to brief faculty, students and staff on what it calls "espionage indicators" aimed at identifying foreign agents.
Unexplained affluence, failing to report overseas travel, showing unusual interest in information outside the job scope, keeping unusual work hours, unreported contacts with foreign nationals, unreported contact with foreign government, military, or intelligence officials, attempting to gain new accesses without the need to know, and unexplained absences are all considered potential espionage indicators.
Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to monitor their colleagues for signs of suspicious behaviour and report any concerns to the FBI or the military.
"What we're most concerned about are those things that are not classified being developed by MIT [Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Worcester Polytech [Worcester Polytechnic Institute] and other universities," Warren Bamford, special agent in charge of the FBI's Boston office, told the Boston Herald. "It's to make sure these institutions receive training...[on] what spies look for. There are hundreds of projects going on that could be useful to a foreign power."
"My understanding is that what the FBI is proposing is not illegal, but it does raise questions about the chilling effect in regard to academia,"Chris Ott, Communications Manager of the ACLU of Massachusetts told WSWS. "What will it mean about feeling free to pursue information? People on the campuses will be afraid to ask questions or take on the investigation of certain areas, say, for example, nuclear energy. "
University administrators have expressed their appreciation of FBI efforts.
"It was a very nice offer," Robert A. Weygand, vice president for administration and a former Rhode Island congressman told the Boston Herald. "We are taking it under consideration."
Last year the FBI initiated the College and University Security Effort (CAUSE), in order to establish an "alliance" between the Federal agency and academic institutions.
According to the FBI, through CAUSE, Special Agents in charge meet with the heads of local colleges to discuss national security issues and to share information and ideas.

Learning something new...
I've always had ideas for stories that never get written. I recently started writing one of them... the problem is, I see my stories in comic book form. I've been trying to find someone to draw what I see, but I've had no luck finding anyone who is comfortable with their drawing ability...So... I've decided to try to teach myself how to draw.
Here's my first attempt. I know that the lines are too dark in some places and not dark enough in others... and that it makes my character look a bit lion-like... and that my character looks very tired and thin... like he's in a K-hole or something... but... again, it's my first attempt at drawing.
I'll post more attempts as I do them. Maybe I'll learn some patience from this exercise as it takes quite a lot of it!

Frack you, you fracking Nazi bastard. - A letter to the Pope.
I'm sick of dealing with people's fracking feelings. I don't give a damn if I "hurt your feelings". Frack you. You hurt more than feelings all the damn time... You hurt families and entice violence toward people! ...but heavens forbid anyone say anything against you or your "church." You have long said that I am a danger to children, marriage, family... and that I'm going to be the downfall of society. Seems to me more evils have been committed in the name of your God than I have *ever* committed. Heck, even more evils have been committed by you, you Nazi bastard ...and you call *me* evil!? Whatthefrackever. Then, you get mad and say it's "grotesquely obscene" when people displayed signs outside your church that said "No Vat" (as in Vatican). Yes... you can call people abominations, evil, and even be a fracking Nazi.... but when people hold up signs saying "No Vat" in protest to the Vatican's role in politics... it is *those* two words that you consider "grotesquely obscene." You're a fracking idiot. I wish there were a hell for you to go to.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell... We'll Come Looking
I got this bit of news second hand, so I'm not sure how accurate it is... but... if it is accurate, then apparently "Don't Ask" means that they will do their own snooping.
A friend of mine was recently dishonorably discharged from the Army because Army officials found her wife's mySpace website and found out that she's a lesbian. To me, "don't ask" also means that they won't go looking for answers.
Unfortunately, my friend was discharged after serving two tours in Iraq. She was the bread winner of the family and has since lost her income. The two have a son together who is the cutest little button. Now, their family has no health care, no income, and no recourse.
Don't Ask Don't Tell needs to stop. Just because of whom they love, we are losing valuable soldiers who have served our country honorably. When the government can just go seeking answers, it's the same as asking. So... a warning and a plea. Please help end Don't Ask Don't Tell... and please, if you are in a same-sex relationship with someone in the service, don't put it on your mySpace page.

Little Baby Cheney vs the FCC
First... check this out
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/images/20070523-4_v052307db-0034jpg-731v.html
Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne Cheney, welcomed their sixth grandchild, Samuel David Cheney, Wednesday, May 23, 2007. He weighed 8 lbs., 6 oz and was born at 9:46 a.m. at Sibley Hospital in Washington, D.C. His parents are the Cheneys’ daughter Mary, and her partner, Heather Poe. White House photo by David Bohrer
Now... check this out...
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/06/04/business/main2884093.shtml??source=RSS&attr=_2884093
The "reasoned logic" they speak of is something not mentioned in the article. They reasoned that because the President and Vice President (The Government) uses and has used the words publicly, that it negates the law saying that other people can't use it.
So... let's follow the logic here...
1) A law is created.
2) The government doesn't follow the law.
3) Since the government doesn't follow the law, it can't tell other people they have to.
4) The law is invalidated.
Ok... so right there on the White House website is a picture of the Cheney's holding their baby grandson. The page recognizes Mary and her partner as the parents. So... apparently the government MUST recognize same-sex partners, their families, AND that both moms are in fact the parents!
Oh yeah, and if to slap Cheney in the face, Bush's latest court appointment is a guy who has ruled that a gay parent raising a child poses a health risk to the child and has even ordered children to be taken away from their birth mothers because the mothers are either bisexuals or lesbians.

James W. Holsinger, the next Surgeon General?
I fucking hope not!
This asshole is supposed to be a doctor - a scientist. He may well hold a medical degree, but he's certainly not listening to *any* of the major medical organizations nor paying attention to science and peer reviewed research!
This guy is Bush's latest NeoCon, x-tian, gay hating, yes man, and nominee for the position of Surgeon General. That's right! The top doctor in the nation!
This guy founded an ex-gay group and truly believes that gays can be converted through a belief in God. Never mind the fact that every major medical and psychological group has found absolutely NO EVIDENCE that this is possible, and in fact say that trying to change someone's sexual orientation is psychologically damaging! (And I can vouch for that!)
Please please please call Clinton, and Kennedy and ask them to not allow this guy to be appointed.
The next thing you know he'll have us all in shock therapy and recommend reading the Bible to cure menstrual cramps... oh wait... we already had that Surgeon General...

Dishonoring Our Veterans
I recently attended a Memorial Day service in Green Bay, WI at Fort Howard Memorial Park. I was thoroughly disgusted by the service.
Memorial Day is meant to be a day to honor *all* of the fallen soldiers who have served our country. It is a day to remember *all* of the solders and to honor their sacrifice. It is not a time for religious propaganda nor a time for politics. Unfortunately, the people who were leading this particular service didn't understand that.
The service was filled with references to the current war in Iraq, the catch phrase "war on terror," and references to Jesus. The speaker referenced that God was on our side in the "war on terror" and that our soldiers would be victorious. He said that God would watch over them and protect them and that Jesus was to be praised.
Let's get something straight... Muslims, Christians, and Jews worship the *same* god. If there *were* no belief in this god, we would not have the fundamentalism that has caused this war. This war cannot be won through a belief in a god. God, or rather the belief in God, is the cause of the war in which we find ourselves.
*Not once* did the speaker make reference to the fact that our soldiers have different beliefs, that this country was founded by people of differing beliefs (Deists, Unitarians, Atheists, and yes, Christians), and that because of the sacrifices that soldiers throughout history have made, we are supposedly free to believe what we want. All of the speaker's references were of the "Praise Jesus and Pass the Ammunition" type. The speaker at this service did *not once* offer remembrance to any of the soldiers of over 40 other religions. He only referenced the Christian soldiers.
The speaker also referenced the freedom that all American's enjoy because of the sacrifices of our Christian soldiers. Well... let me tell you... I do not enjoy the freedoms that other Americans enjoy. I am not free. As long as Christian Fundamentalists, like the speaker at the Memorial Day service, continue to push their agenda onto those of other faiths and as long as they continue to make laws that take away my freedom, I am not free.
I considered those soldiers who are not Christian and yet died fighting for freedom. I believe that as long as fundamentalists refuse to honor and respect those soldiers, and as long as those of us who are non-Christian citizens are forced to live by laws that go against our beliefs, we are not free.
The type of behavior displayed by the speaker only furthers my disdain for the theocracy that this country is becoming and for the pride and audacity of these religious fundamentalists. The speaker's lack of respect for *all* of our soldiers is truly unpatriotic and disgusting.
It was as if the speaker at this service, by honoring only the Christian soldiers, was implying that all others died for nothing. To him, they were already forgotten.

Swallow it down...
This post isn't going to be one of my usual... this one... well, is more of a window into the inner workings of my head. It's an attempt at trying to focus in and understand all of the noise in my head... all of the screaming, doubt, anger, sadness, hopefulness, happiness, joy, and beauty that it perceives. It's an attempt to quiet the storm, to hush the voices (all my own of course... there's no one else living here), to find some solace, and to come to terms with the fact that this is not the world in which I wish to live. This post is free form, flowing thoughts, with no beginning or end - like many thoughts in my brain, only a middle.
blue pill... take the blue pill... why? why does everyone insist on taking the blue pill?.. Is it because they have not the capacity to deal with the wrongs? Is it too much to handle?... Prozak, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, why do we fell the need to medicate ourselves until death... why are we so anxious, so depressed, what is wrong with society that damn near everyone I know is on some sort of anti-depressant?... $3.50 a gallon, no freedom of speech, don't dare disagree with the administration, starving children right here in our own back yards, NEW JOBS CREATED they cry... yet all of them low wage, expanding health care costs while CEOs make millions off the backs of the working poor, religion influencing the laws that others must follow, laws which only serve to help a few and stomp on others, socioeconomic discrimination - legalized, my family doesn't matter... fuck the reich, those holier than thou hypocritical bastards... ignore the fact that it's all illusion, believe in the illusion, take the blue pill and it'll all be so much better... believe the way 'we' do, live the way 'we' live... No! Fuck you!... I find no solace in the blue pill... pretending everything's ok... EVERYTHING IS NOT OK!... open your god damned eyes!... fuck the blue pill!... but then it makes everything so much more difficult... is the path of least resistance really the best path? Take the damn blue pill? Ignore the veil and live in the illusion? Fucking fascists... that's what they would prefer... a dictatorial government where only they have privilege and everyone else has no rights... excuse me if I still believe in the American Dream and opportunity for everyone... not in privilege for few... why the hell should I blindly follow laws and morays created by those with greed for money and power? ...laws created by those whose IQs are significantly lower than my own and which only serve a handful of people? People are fucking stupid. I despise this world. I despise the blue pill. Oh, but just take it and you too will be able to function in 'our' illusion. Don't want to take it? Well we've got a solution for that too... we will force you to. We will medicate society and subdued them with fear... fear of eachother.. then we will be able to control them all because everyone will be too afraid of eachother to even communicate with each other... to afraid to learn that different is not bad, it's just different... yes, we will medicate and paralyze everyone... only then can we carry out our true plan of world domination... those who disagree with our own "values" will be socioeconomically bludgeoned into non-existence.. no one really cares about them anyway... cause they're different... and remember, the blue pill tells you different is bad and everything is going to be okay.. just do what we say and fear your neighbor... take the blue pill and just pretend right along with us that everything will be okay. Fuck the blue pill... then again... until I find a way out... it is easier... I do not want to live in this world which they are creating. I do not wish to live in their reality. This is not the reality which I choose for myself. Maybe I'm an idealist... but I don't see how this blue pill bullshit is benefiting humanity. It only makes us fear and hate one another while pretending that everything is okay.... EVERYTHING IS NOT OK... but for now, I've no way out... so... for now, I'll swallow it down, I'll give in, I'll pretend, and maybe... everything will be okay.

The king of veto power...
Well, today the White House vetoed yet another war spending bill. This bill gave the President full authority to ignore the suggested withdraw deadline, yet still he vetoed it. It is clear that he does not care that there are people dying every day. It is clear that he wants it his way or no way.
...remember, "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. "-W. ... and by "us" he means "me" ...and by "terrorists" he means "everyone who disagrees with me."
It's really no surprise... has everyone forgotten this great Bush quote?
"I will not withdraw even if Laura and Barney are the only ones supporting me." -W.
That's right... the Barney The Dog holds more weight than the voice of the American people.

Falwell's Death
Some people were wondering how I feel about Falwell's death.
I was taught that if you don't have anything nice to say... don't say anything at all. So that's what I'm saying about this... nothing.
Instead... I'll leave you with some of his quotes and leave it up to you to figure out how I feel about it.

Jerry Falwell Quotes:
Regarding 9/11 and terrorism:
- "The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'" --on the 9/11 attacks
- “I had a student ask me, "Could the savior you believe in save Osama bin Laden?" Of course, we know the blood of Jesus Christ can save him, and then he must be executed”
- "You've got to kill the terrorists before the killing stops. And I'm for the president to chase them all over the world. If it takes 10 years, blow them all away in the name of the Lord."
- “God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve”
- “I sincerely believe that the collective efforts of many secularists during the past generation, resulting in the expulsion from our schools and from the public square, has left us vulnerable”
Regarding homosexuality:
- "AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals. To oppose it would be like an Israelite jumping in the Red Sea to save one of Pharaoh's charioteers ... AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals."
- “Homosexuality is Satan's diabolical attack upon the family that will not only have a corrupting influence upon our next generation, but it will also bring down the wrath of God upon America.”
- “[homosexuals are] brute beasts...part of a vile and satanic system [that] will be utterly annihilated, and there will be a celebration in heaven.”
- “I do not believe we can blame genetics for adultery, homosexuality, dishonesty and other character flaws”
- "He is purple — the gay-pride color, and his antenna is shaped like a triangle — the gay pride symbol." –from a "Parents Alert" issued in Jerry Falwell's National Liberty Journal, warning that "Tinky Winky," a character on the popular PBS children's show, "Teletubbies," may be gay
- “Grown men should not be having sex with prostitutes unless they are married to them”
- "I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!"
- “Textbooks are Soviet propaganda”
- “Pat ran for president once and he's a very political person, and that is the way politicians talk. They all use intimidation and political strong-arming to hopefully pick up a vote or two.
- "Nothing will motivate conservative evangelical Christians to vote Republican in the 2008 presidential election more than a Democratic nominee named Hillary Rodham Clinton - not even a run by the devil himself ... I certainly hope that Hillary is the candidate. She has $300 million so far. But I hope she's the candidate. Because nothing will energize my [constituency] like Hillary Clinton. If Lucifer ran, he wouldn't." --at a "Values Voter Summit"
- “The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country”
- “The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi party is to Jews”
- “The whole (global warming) thing is created to destroy America's free enterprise system and our economic stability”
- “We visit prisoners on death row, and some of them are saved, but we believe their sentences should be carried out because they have a debt to society”
- “Joseph Farah raises a clarion call to action in his new book, 'Taking America Back.' He hits the nail on the head on every issue. What's more, he lays the blame for America's problems right where it belongs ? in the lap of liberalism. His insightful analysis of what he calls 'this evil ideology' is worth the price of the book. Don't miss it!”
- “What we've worked on for 30 years, to mobilize people of faith and value in this country, what we've done through these years is coming to culmination right now.”
- “Now we're looking at what we really started on 30 years ago, reconstruction of a court system gone awry.”
- “Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions”
- “Billy Graham is the chief servant of Satan in America”
- “If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being”
- “It appears that America's anti-Biblical feminist movement is at last dying, thank God, and is possibly being replaced by a Christ-centered men's movement which may become the foundation for a desperately needed national spiritual awakening"
There's a bear in the back yard!
This has got to be the funniest thing I've seen in a long time!

The Meaning of Life
For those of you who don't know, my grandmother, Baba (that's Slovak for Grandma), passed away a few months ago. She was a sweet woman with a beautiful smile and we are now learning that she was quite ornery and had a wit that was cutting as well! :)
Anyway, since her passing, I think I've talked with her and spent more time with her than when she was alive. She shows up quite often in my dreams and we hang out and have wonderful little conversations.
Here's last night's dream:
My sister, my dad, Baba, and myself are sitting in a little hotel room (these dreams almost always take place in a waiting room or hotel room... I'm not sure why). My sister figures that since my Baba has passed over to the other side, that maybe she can offer a little insight into things. So she asks her, "What's the meaning of life?"
I laugh and reply, "42."
My dad starts into this big long speech about how you have to define what the word "meaning" means before you can even answer the question.
My Baba just sat there and smiled. "Do you know?" I asked. Her eyes smiled at me and she said, "Yes."
"Well?" I say, "What's the answer?"
She replies... "Everyone thinks they need to drive a damn car."

WTF!?
So, I'm on my way to work today and I see this big ass SUV pass me going at least 10 over. On the back of this huge 15mpg Tahoe carrying one passenger is a window painting of a landscape with horses. Underneath the window painting is a bumper sticker that reads: "Save gas. Ride a horse."
Electric Vehicle Solution - maybe...
So I'm wondering what your thoughts are about solutions for electric assisted or fully electric powered vehicles. Sure they're great for short trips into town for work or school, but they're not so great if you want to go on a road trip.
So what I'm thinking is that they need to come up with exchangeable batteries. I guess it would work a lot like propane tanks. You pull into the fuel station when your battery is low, pop your battery out of your vehicle, pay a few dollars, and exchange your low battery for a fully charged one that you can pop back into your vehicle and be off!
The batteries could even be recharged using renewable energy resources like wind.
Now, I have no idea the amount of wind power would be needed to charge a battery for a 2 or 3 person small vehicle... but I'm sure that some of you out there have thought about it or already have it figured out.
So... what are your thoughts?

So... what are your thoughts?
Damned if I do.
Ok... so I've come to the conclusion that no matter what I drive, it's still a car and it still sucks.
If I buy gasoline for my car then I'm supporting big oil, war, and all of the atrocities, including human rights violations, that happen in countries like Sudan. As well, I'm definitely contributing to CO2 emissions.
If I fill my car with ethanol, since most of it is made from corn grown in second and third world countries instead of corn made here, and also because it's made from a food source that isn't very energy efficient, I'm supporting starving people rather than letting them have food to eat and still contributing near the same CO2 emissions.
Not only that, but the cost of producing 1 litre of ethanol is about $1.24 inculding tax subsidies. That's $4.59 a gallon!
Even worse, the good byproducts do NOT outweigh the bad byproducts! Corn crops contribute the most herbicide pollution and soil erosion that any other crop grown! Also, ethanol plants are not held to the same standards as other refineries when it comes to chemical pollutants. That means that they can, and do, produce and introduce into the environment more pollutants than other fuel refineries.
Ethanol from sugar cane costs $0.33 per litre. That's certainly better... and people don't need raw sugar to survive. Unfortunately, it also amounts to a net negative energy savings.
Apparently the only thing that *might* be a viable renewable fuel source is not a liquid fuel at all. It's a pellet. Switch grass pellets have an energy return of about 1:14.6 kcal. Pellets can also be a good alternative source of energy in stoves for heating. Unfortunately, I don't see any automakers rushing out to make pellet fueled cars and trains.
So... I guess as long as I'm driving a car and as long as the city continues its 20 year argument of *how* and *where* to build a commuter rail, then I'm stuck being responsible for killing and raping people in Sudan or starving people in South America.
Damned if I do. Damned if I do.

My car eats corn.
Ok... so I ended up getting a new car. I was really hoping to put off getting rid of the Subaru until I'm done with school... that way I can go carless. But I'm not as hard core as some of my friends. ;)
The Subaru was nice, quiet, and great in the snow. The gas mileage was... well... better than most, but certainly not where it should be. But then again, no cars are as efficient as they could be. It lasted me 160k with no problems. Then the head gasket started leaking oil into the radiator. :(
So... without much research and with absolutely no desire to buy a car... I went car shopping. It would have been nice to look around and get something I really wanted... like a light, small, biodiesel that I could feed Blimpie's or Hardee's. But... it's too cold to ride my motorcycle and my school/work schedule doesn't afford me enough time to bike back and forth between the two. And... I'm still waiting on that train they promised us.
Anyway... it seems that car salesman want to steer you away from anything "alternative." None of the sales people knew anything about any of the cars on their lot with respect to which would run alternative fuels and what type of mileage they got with it.
So... I drove 3 different used cars. The first two really sucked. One had compression problems, I'm guessing it was the catalytic converter. The other had seats that felt like they were eating you. The I drove the Chevy Impala. It was a quiet, smooth, comfortable ride.
I remembered seeing the Impala listed as one of the cars that could run ethanol, depending on the model. I had also looked into fueling stations and had found that there are quiet a few of them in the midwest. (Lack of fueling stations is the reason I didn't get the Civic CNG for $10k new.)
So, I got the car and brought it home and read the manual. Apparently the 3.5L 2006 Impala only runs flex fuel if the 8th number in the VIN is a K.
So, if it's a K then it's OK that it 8 e85. If it's an N it's NOT.
I checked my car and it was a K. So... I found the nearest e85 station and filled up. It was $0.50 less a gallon than gasoline and so far it seems to be getting better mileage than my Subie got on petrol.
Now... time for my hard core bike friends to tell me the bad news!
I know that cars are incredibly inefficient. I know that the US paves the hell out of everything. I know the chemicals used and the mining to get the materials cause damage. I know it takes a lot of energy to build a car. All that aside for the sake of this conversation....
What are the drawbacks to ethanol? I know the positives... they're played up a lot. What are the honest to goodness drawbacks?

Happy Easter?
You fucking sick people. How the hell can you even live with yourselves? How the hell can you dare call yourself "Christ-like?" This is just about the WORST behavior I have seen in a very long time!
This is absolutely disgusting!
...and people wonder why I don't care to associate myself with the word "Christian"...

A funeral service in the Carribean island of Jamaica has been disrupted by a mob attempting to attack a group of mourners.
The Easter Sunday funeral of Kirk Wayne Lester, a Jamaican businessman, was attended by "gay cross-dressers," reports Real Jamaica Radio.
A mob surrounded the church and attacked people thought to be gay with knives, stones and bottles.
Missiles where thrown through the windows.
The island's gay rights movement, the Jamaica Forum for Lesbians, All Sexuals and Gays (J-Flag), is forced to operate underground and anonymously.
It called on police to find the people who attacked the church in Mandeville.
Pressure group Jamaicans for Justice agreed that a urgent police investigation is needed.
JFJ said it is deeply disturbed by yet another incident involving mob violence against gay people latest incident is particularly daring because it occurred during a church service.
In February three gay men were stoned by a huge mob in a homophobic attack in Jamaica.
Police came to rescue the men from a pharmacy in Saint Andrew Parish, where they had been hiding for almost an hour.
An angry crowd had gathered outside the pharmacy, hurling insults and threatening to kill the men.
When the police arrived, the mob demanded the men be handed over to them.
The police tried to escort the men to their car, but the crowd began to throw stones at the objects of their hate, hitting one of them on the head.
Finally, officers were forced to disperse the crowd with tear gas. According to the Jamaica Observer, as many as 2000 people were involved in the attack.
International human rights organizations have described Jamaica as one of the most homophobic places in the world.
Gay and lesbian relationships are largely conducted in secret.
Sex between men in Jamaica is illegal, and punishable with up to ten years in jail, usually with hard labour.
In December 2003, a World Policy Institute survey on sexual orientation and human rights in the Americas said that:
"In the Caribbean, Jamaica is by far the most dangerous place for sexual minorities, with frequent and often fatal attacks against gay men fostered by a popular culture that idolises reggae and dancehall singers whose lyrics call for burning and killing gay men.
"Draconian laws against sexual activity between members of the same sex continue to be in force not only in Jamaica, but in most of the English-speaking Caribbean."
According to Amnesty International, the gay and lesbian community in Jamaica faces "extreme prejudice" and are ‘routinely victims of ill-treatment and harassment by the police, and occasionally of torture."
Amnesty has highlighted the growing problem of vigilante action against gays and lesbians – Wednesday was just one example of this.
In 2004, the organisation revealed that "gay men and lesbian women have been beaten, cut, burned, raped and shot on account of their sexuality," and that they are one of the "most marginalised and persecuted communities in Jamaica."
Political parties have ignored the issue of gay rights. Indeed, homophobia is flourishing amongst politicians and the police.
For example, opposition leader Bruce Golding vowed last year that "homosexuals would find no solace in any cabinet formed by him."
This is absolutely disgusting!

Anne Coulter is a bitch
...but I guess we all knew that. So... what did she say at the 2007 Conservative Political Action Committee meeting that has conservatives and liberals up in arms? View it here. She outwardly displays her hatred for gay people and democrats all in one swoop.
Why are conservatives upset? Because they were the ones caught laughing at her remarks! Their hatred is finally "out of the closet!" They can no longer say "no we don't HATE people... we just don't agree." They've finally been revealed as the hate mongers they are!
Why isn't the media all over this one like they were all over Isaiah Washington? Why haven't you heard about this? DAMN GOOD QUESTION!
Why don't you go ask the so-called LIBERAL MEDIA!?

MLK Day - Why some white and some black people piss me off.
I'm pissed off at white people and at black people.
I'm pissed off at white people for treating Martin Luther King Jr. Day as if it is a 'black holiday'. It's an AMERICAN holiday. All Americans should be proud to celebrate MLK Day because it marks an important time when America moved one step closer to opening up the American Dream for ALL citizens of this country.
I'm also pissed off at black people because they completely ignore Bayard Rustin's role in securing equal rights for African Americans. Mr. Rustin organized the 1963 March on Washington as well as acted as a mentor to Dr. King and taught him the leadership skills and nonviolent resistance that Dr. King used to help further the cause for equality.
I'm pissed because when it comes to gay rights most black people ignore their own gay brothers and sisters and even go so far as to vote to discriminate against gay people in their state Constitutions. A gay black friend of mine was even told that he couldn't join the Black Student Union at our school because he was gay, and that meant he wasn't black!!!
This is just plain fucking wrong. Do they not realize that Mr. Rustin, the mentor and key player in the fight for their civil rights, was a gay black man?
Face it black people! Without this gay black man, you would not have the rights you have today! Gay black people do exist and it's time to start fighting for their rights too!
