"We should learn to tolerate others."

"No one should tell us what’s right and what’s wrong.  That’s pushing you’re values on someone else."

Do these quotes sound familiar?  They are commonly spouted by "civil rights" groups.  The common response to these lines have often been, "Well, then, how far is too far?"

Obviously, murder should be, right?

According to an Australian news web site, two teenage girls killed one of their friends simply because they wanted to know what it felt like to kill someone.  "We just did it because we felt like it."

Frankly, I’m not at all surprised by this.  We live in an increasingly permissive society that doesn’t want (read: want) consequences.  Instead, we want nothing short of complete and utter liberty to do what we feel like, whenever we feel like.

I think the ACLU, along with the rest of us, should celebrate this as a leap in civil liberties.

The site looks like it did before!  Feel free to look around.  If something stops working, let me know.

The Virginia Tech shooting has, no doubt, raised fear and concern about the safety of schools and even our lives.  Many of us are wondering if the next shooting is going to be at our school, work, or any other public place.  We feel less safe and are on the border-line of panic.

However, when we think about the shooting, we often think about the victims of the tragedy.

But when it comes to the perpetrator, we have nothing but loathing for him and if he were alive, we’d want justice to be served.

Why is it that society, as a whole, demand justice for others but seldom want it for ourselves?  Why is it that we always want grace?

You may noticed a starking difference on my web site.  Yes, I’m the process of upgrading my site…several weeks late.

Don’t fret!  I’m hoping to have everything finished today. 

This is a global e-mail announcement.

As a result of getting so much spam a day (over 300 in fact), I will no longer be sorting through my spam folder. Any e-mails that get flagged as spam will now be automatically deleted without warning. While this may affect a minority of people that send me e-mail, I feel that the number of spam I receive and the havoc that it creates on my server outweighs the one or two e-mails that sometimes end up in my spam folder as a false positive.

You may fall into the category of affective people if you e-mail from yahoo.com, hotmail.com, or other popular web-based e-mails (gmail, for now, seems unaffected). If you are e-mailing me from one of these providers, you may prepend your subjects with "[NOT SPAM]".

If you get a reply, it means that I’ve added you to my whitelist and will no longer have to prepend your messages.

Sorry for the inconvenience folks.
