Long time, no post

I have thought of hundreds of things to post about over recent months, but have not posted. This will be not much of an exception, rather a series of questions and observations.


Why is being a war hero supposed to qualify one to run the country?

Why are people such hypocrites?

Why is the air in Arlington Texas so horrible?

Why do "animal rights" bills that will actually harm animals appear with such frequency?

A note on that question. Michigan has a pet seller bill up, HB 6395 would make it nearly impossible to sell a home raised kitten in Michigan, or to place rescued cats. Only shelters and pet stores would be able to. To home raise and sell you'd have to have a $200 liscense for EVERY county where a buyer might reside along with being fingerprinted and have a police background check done, and it would not be legal to let your kittens sleep in bed with you or get on the couch or run around on carpet. Crazy.

How can people who try to pass themselves off as conservative fundamental Christians be so un-Christian, being pro-war and anti helping the poor?

When republicans talk about "winning" the war in Iraq, what exactly are they referring to? Didn't GW Bush declare the war to be OVER years ago? And what exactly are we trying to "win"?

Why don't the Human resource people and legal people and payroll people and administration actually research the laws that they quote when they change things around supposedly due to those laws?

As a corollary: Why is it that I, who am pretty dreadful when it comes to legal documents, finances, laws, and tax documents, am able to unearth and understand the actual interpretation and exemptions to said tax law in about 20 minutes, when the professionals at my Uni could not find said law or explain it to me in over an hour and a half of office hopping.

If human life begins at conception.. does that mean that most women trying to get pregnant are committing manslaughter everytime the pregnancy fails, or they fail to get measurably pregnant?

Eggs do get fertilized, but fail to develop most of the time.

If a fertilized egg splits and becomes two identical twins, do they have only one life, one soul between them?

If two fertilized eggs fuse and become one baby (it happens) does that individual have two lives/two souls?

Since when do we make religious belief (like when you personally or your church thinks "life" begins) law?

Finally

Why did the hot water hose break off the back of my washing machine?

You raise many good questions. Personally, I think the hose broke off the back of your washing machine because the air quality in Arlington is bad.

I think that when people encourage barbarism, (and what military action does not include it), They have to justify themselves by turning to their god or gods with even more devotion than usual. Either that, or blame someone they despise already, (Jews, gays, gypsies, socialists).
