hell’s handmaiden

Having long been a strongly Hobbesian socio-political thinker, it was with something like morbid curiousity that drew me to the literature of modern anarchy, and I confess that I read with a fair amount of skepticism.

I am an antichrist
I am an anarchist
Don’t know what I want but
I know how to get it
I wanna destroy the passer by cos I

I want to be… Anarchy!

First off,… that’s not it.

Get pissed … destroy !

That’s not it either.

It is magnificently ironic that Evolution News and Views has a ranking of Slithering Reptile at The Truth Laid Bear. It is equally sad, though, that a junk science site can manage such a high rank.

While researching Graduate Schools in Philosophy, I stumbled over something rather interesting, and sad. Take a look at the following paragraph from one of the University College London’s admission pages. The highlights are mine.

United States
For entry into UCL’s undergraduate degree programmes, students who hold A-Levels or the International Baccalaureate with good grades will be considered. The US High School Graduation Diploma on its own does not satisfy UCL’s general entrance requirement for undergraduate degree programmes. To be eligible for consideration students must have usually obtained passes in four, full year Advanced Placement (AP) examinations at grades 4/5. Alternatively the High School Graduation diploma plus a minimum of 1300/1600 or 1950/2400 in SAT I plus the successful completion of one year at a recognised US university would be considered.

I haven’t taken a shot at Mark Noonan for awhile. Luckily, StealthBadger has taken a shot for me.
