I know youapos;re supposed to love rain when you live in a drought-prone place. I love the "idea" of rain, but the reality gets me soggy and cold and causes the dog to track mud in the house. Brrrr and eeewwww.

Now, if I were home relaxing on the couch with a book...yes, please. Raingods, please send weekend rain.

In completely unrelated news, the Heather taco from Taco Deli is among my very favorite foods now.

Hey, FYI thereapos;s only a few of you that can see this post. Thatapos;d be Mark, Eva, Mike, Jen, Kristen, and Brenda. Iapos;m using this since Iapos;m a dumbass and donapos;t have your email addresses in my webmail. :P

At any rate, Mark had I had a brief text message conversation yesterday, and I invited him down Saturday, and I figured why not invite all of our small group over? Not that Iapos;m asking you to come down for the Shim Sa; thatapos;s up to you. But Iapos;m wondering if anyone would be interested in coming down in the afternoon to hang out. Thereapos;s Rock Band, of course, but we could also throw on a bad movie or something else.

Eva, I know youapos;ll be out of town over the weekend. But I didnapos;t want you to feel as though you werenapos;t welcome if you were. ;)

At any rate, Brenda and I were thinking we should do this since we havenapos;t been able to hang out as a group in some time. What say you all?

american idol season 2 dvd




Yesterday a lady came to the Honolulu temple with her three children. All four of them were very nice and cultured; however, they had been left homeless due to the present economic climate. After they left i checked my email and had to filter out several items of spam telling me how to find foreclosures in my area. Greed and lust have broken out from their hiding places and are running amok in our sand castles. Without the KC perspective, it would be easy to be very depressed about how humanity is turning out. -- shallow, cruel, and ridiculously opportunistic. Only a person who can reason that little further, and allow the Absolute a chance to get into the equation of life, can find some reason to be optimistic about human nature -- or soul nature. Itapos;s at times like this that i wish i had the intelligence and openness to be able to chant Hare Krsna incessantly.

After thinking about this some more, I am thinking about writing a letter to the author of Truth-Driven Thinking, that I commented on in my last post. It would go something like this:

Dear Mr. Gibson:

I recently listened to the audiobook of your book "Truth-Driven Thinking". I have some comments to make on the book, which, in the end, I found incredibly frustrating.

I donapos;t think Carl Saganapos;s quote "there are no experts" means quite what you think it means. Sagan meant that we shouldnapos;t take any "expert" as an authority, but should question and ask for evidence to judge for ourselves. However, barring our ability to check every fact in every arcane field, experts are important because they spend the time studying and questioning a topic in detail that we canapos;t do. "Expertise" is earned, not bestowed. This goes directly to your assault on the science of climate change.

You did a disservice to your readers by using an economist to rebutt claims of climate change rather than a climatologist. Thatapos;s a little like using an English professor to rebutt claims of evolution. Climate change is informed by a variety of lines of evidence, not only modern temperature spikes, but hundreds of years of testing atmospheric CO2 levels, the physics and chemistry of CO2, astronomy and 400 years of solar observations together with the physics of solar activity, orbital mechanics, ice core data going back 600,000 years and more, dendrochronology, amber gas bubbles, volcanic strata in rock layers, fossilized pollen and other plant and animal data, and on and on. What does an economist know of dendrochronology? Economists are fine people to ask for economically viable ways to approach a solution, but they cannot be relied upon as a serious critic of climate change.

Donapos;t you think, that as science searches for the truth and we get closer to it, that challenging "conventional wisdom" that is based on science would more often lead you to mistakes than new insights? And the irony is, you are rejecting the scientific consensus of climatologists around the world, and then you turn around and tell us we should rely on science and the scientific method. This isnapos;t nutrition, where we are getting conflicting studies on a regular basis. The only question with climate change is how much, how fast. And Peter Mooreapos;s claim that to affect climate change we need to "control the weather" is totally specious.

DDT is a poison. Why should we be shocked that itapos;s poisonous to more species than just mosquitos? Furthermore, DDT probably wouldnapos;t have been nearly so controversial if it hadnapos;t been used with wild abandon, not just to control typhoid and malaria, but also in agriculture. The thing about poisons is that there is a dosage level. Small amounts might not be terribly harmful, but larger amounts will kill. The idea that this was not considered beforehand is insane and short-sighted. While certainly there is a fear factor involved in not allowing wider usage to kill disease-bearing insects, it is also quite rational knowing that it has been abused in our lifetimes, and could be so again without carefully crafted regulations. But you did not make the claim, as some do about marijuana, that just because some will abuse it, does not mean it canapos;t be used appropriately quite safely the vast majority of the time. I donapos;t know the answer to this question about either marijuana or DDT (what level of use is "safe"), but not to comment on the irrationality of using it without considering the consequences in the first place makes you sound like an anti-environmentalist shill, and not a rational moderate searching for the truth.

And your discussion of taxes and whether the rich are paying their "fair share". The data you gave was deeply flawed. While the numbers may very well be true, the data you used was straight forwardly biased. You didnapos;t even provide an alternative method of looking at the numbers which would have served to make one of your points far better... That numbers can be manipulated to say what we want them to say, when we donapos;t understand the details very well.

Your heart is in the right place. But I found it particularly ironic that for all of the suggestions you made, your book committed several of the errors you warn readers against, particularly the ones mentioned above.

With regards,...

cindy lynch savannah





Ok, so all week I had been looking forward to go seeing this show. I know, I know, some people might be thinking, " Why would you want to go see this?" I love theater, and everything to do with theater. Theater is what I want to do in college. So as I sat down in the theater, I thought to myself, " I really hope other people can appreciate this as much as I do." The show began and I was on the edge of my seat. I heard the people start to sing and I knew that I would hopefully be there one day. One aspect that I thought was really interesting was the staging they used on this production. I am not sure what point they were trying to convey, but if it was supposed to be dramatic, then it worked. Going along with Mr. Heidkamp's views, I also was more interested in Caroline's family. I was more drawn to her actions, and her beliefs than to Noah's families. I am still not sure why that was. Was that the intention to be drawn to them? What parts of the show didn't you get? Did you enjoy the fact that there wasn't much talking, or were you more annoyed by that?

Kate and Ryan saw Jimmy Fallon at RIT Saturday night.� Robert is visiting Dennis in Chicago, they saw the main stage show at Second City, last night.� Saturday night I came across an ad for a Josh Blue show in Buffalo, last night.� I didnapos;t want to go to a show in Allentown alone and all the people I would normal expect to enjoy that show were out of town.� I thought that Dennis the Younger normally had Sunday plans, but I asked, just in case.� He was available� So Dennis the Younger and I saw Josh Blue last night.�� I love spending time with all my kids but simply by virtue of the fact that Dennis doesnapos;t live with me, I donapos;t see him as often as the others.

Kristen Becker opened for Josh.� Iapos;ve never seen her in person before, canapos;t remember where I have seen her, YouTube, maybe....� Sheapos;s polished enough but I had pretty much heard her material before.� I wouldnapos;t go out of my way to see her again.

Josh on the other hand I like a lot.� From the beginning he reminds me of someone who would have been a regular at my motherapos;s house.� I can easily see him at her kitchen table or sitting around the pool with a beer.� George Carlin is another in that catagory. I find Josh� so damn funny that I wished heapos;d repeat some of his material.� I wish Dennis could have heard about Josh hailing a cab.

Josh had T-shirts, CDs and DVDs for sale afterward but since I bought the tickets to Joshapos;s show and tickets for Second City, Toronto yesterday, I had already spend $200. On comedy in one day.� Thatapos;s a new record for me.� If McCain wins the election and privatizes health insurance, Iapos;m going to need every penny...� Besides, Iapos;m thinking at 56 I maybe getting too mature for graphic Tapos;s.
