hell’s handmaiden

Can you write for Blogs for Bush and still pen this…

The wonderfully “unbiased” staff of 60-minutes, that bastion of non-partisan, fair and balanced yellow journalism propaganda…

Using the Exception to Define the Rule

… with a straight face?

Apparently so. This last century, though, has proven without a doubt that humanity is capable of supporting all kinds of absurdity, cruelty and outright insanity with a perfectly straight face. Damn us all.

MikeGene is largely missing the joke, and he seems to be oversimplifying some things. He notes that:

• a) that ID is untestable and unfalsifiable and
• b) that various imperfections in nature argue against ID.

And further notes that these two contradict one another. He’s right… sort-of.

My dad was a veteran of World War II. I heard stories about how badly the Japanese treated prisoners during that war. It seems that no one in the nation approved such behavior.

My uncles were in Korea and Vietnam. I heard the same stories from them about the Koreans and the Vietnamese.

I heard horror stories about Stalin’s Siberian prisons and Hitler’s death camps. No one spoke of these things happily.

Yet…

America has deliberately driven hundreds, perhaps thousands, of prisoners insane.The US psychological torture system is finally on trial

How? Sensory deprivation and acid.

It looks like somebody named Ken is trying to take credit for the “Northwest Arboreal Tree Octopus” article at Conservapedia.

At last my 15 minutes of internet fame seems to be on the way!

The tree octopus article is mine, as well as a few other bits. Luckily, I discovered the site before they locked out new accounts. I’m hesitant to fess up on the bigger blogs, as I’m afraid that the admins at Conservapedia will notice, block me and remove my entries.

I suppose that if I thought that the environment was a myth, I might not worry too much about the moral implications of the idea. From where I’m sitting though, things look a little different. I’d say that cursing at least the next several generations– cursing our children and grandchildren– with with ecosystem after wrecked ecosystem is something of a moral problem. And frankly, it is amoral problem that ranks a bit higher than most of the items on Noonan’s list.
