silence and calm signifying everything

Yesterday was the day I was supposed to update. I’m working at updating every four days, but am willing to accept, for now, a slip to a post coming five days after the previous one.

I’d rather be vegging

Let’s get this over with and move on the important topics.I have two links and a brief statement.First up, the statement. During the last election, the sanctity of marriage was one of the big banners waved by the Republican party. Now they are saying, in essence, that in this case the marriage doesn’t matter. A quick bible search turned up the following statement by a Mr. Christ:Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?… What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

freiheit über alles

Earlier today I started writing out my currently held core beliefs. Part of my intended goal was to start picking at them, following the implications to see if they led me into the broom closet of doom or some equally evil place (such as the medicine cabinet of mediocrity). One of them is the belief in free will.

This post almost did not get written (no, not because the zombie llamas attacked again; their attack was nowhere close to that effectual).

the one man who welcomes jury duty

Category: society | 4 Comments

In a little less than an hour I find out if I will have jury duty tomorrow. Based on the reactions of nearly everyone when I mention that, I think I am just about the last person left in the country who actually wants to carry out this part of our social responsibility. I’ve been told that it is often just a lot of sitting around with nothing to do, which just sounds like a great chance to get some reading done. I’ve never been one who gets bored easily so that aspect doesn’t bother me.
More importantly though I look forward to the chance to be on a jury.
