Heard a man singing outside my library.

I'm paraphrasing the verse here.

"A cowboy from Texas started his own war in Iraq. Some humans ain't human. Some people ain't kind."

USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C

?list=PLB8A7BFC74F06996F

The Ambassador-class starship was a step between the venerable Excelsior-class and the Majestic Galaxy-class.

The Enterprise-C served from 2332 to 2344 when she was destroyed at Narendra III while responding to distress call from the Klingon colony there. Upon arrival, she was met and overwhelmed by four Romulan warbirds.

The efforts of the Enterprise-C and her crew helped to solidify the alliance between the Federation and the Klingon empire.


The ship is featured in the TNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise". (S3E15) Watch it. It is seriously one of the very best episodes of TNG.

When the Catholic Church owns your doctor: The insidious new threat to affordable birth control

Angela Valavanis had already had one bad encounter with the Catholic health care system when St. Francis Hospital, the hospital in Evanston, Ill., where she delivered her second baby, refused to allow her OB/GYN to tie her tubes because of Catholic restrictions on the procedure. When she went to her doctor’s office for a check-up after the birth and asked about going back on the Pill, since she hadn’t gotten the sterilization she wanted, she got another shock: “My doctor told me that she couldn’t prescribe birth control because she had sold her practice to a Catholic health system,” said Angela. “My mouth dropped open. I was so confused to hear those words coming out of the mouth of an OB/GYN.”

I caught some of CNN today.

Tom Ridge was saying that the US is in more danger from terrorism than after 9-11.

Is anyone else sick of the constant fear-mongering by the GOP and the media?

I hate you.

I fucking hate you motherfucking smirking piece of sub-human swine. You beat this country to a bloody pulp and you raked it's citizens across the fire.

You sent thousands of young men and women to their deaths in a sand-blasted hell-hole. You and your money-grubbing cronies crashed the economy.

All you know how to do is cause pain and misery everywhere you go.

You goddamned murderous bastard.

I hate you.

An interesting article on Christianity and boundaries

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/excommunications/2015/05/christianity-has-a-major-boundary-problem/

The article describes how the concept of personal boundaries is completely foreign to the Christian religion, esp. in regards to sex.
