FATHER KNOWS BEST

"Out of all of the [religious] sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favor, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasboard of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one." - Richard Dawkins

UPDATE: I work at a specialty high-end retail store during a recession. Despite that I do very little during the day, I still feel wasted when I get home. Not that my time is completely wasted at work because I draw alot. I have this 36" by 48" painting I'm working on for the Electro Shock Show. I don't have the energy to work on it when I get home and my most creative energy is in the morning. That's my prime creative time.
So the solution is to go to be early and wake up at 6am to have two solid hours of painting till I have to get ready for work. I wasn't sure how this would work out but it's turned out to be a good regimen.

Here's the promo page...

You need to read this...

Kenneth Adelman, a member of Donald Rumsfeld’s advisory Defense Policy Board: So he says, It might be best if you got off the Defense Policy Board. You’re very negative. I said, I am negative, Don. You’re absolutely right. I’m not negative about our friendship. But I think your decisions have been abysmal when it really counted.

Start out with, you know, when you stood up there and said things—“Stuff happens.” I said, That’s your entry in Bartlett’s. The only thing people will remember about you is “Stuff happens.” I mean, how could you say that? “This is what free people do.” This is not what free people do. This is what barbarians do. And I said, Do you realize what the looting did to us? It legitimized the idea that liberation comes with chaos rather than with freedom and a better life. And it demystified the potency of American forces. Plus, destroying, what, 30 percent of the infrastructure.

I said, You have 140,000 troops there, and they didn’t do jack shit. I said, There was no order to stop the looting. And he says, There was an order. I said, Well, did you give the order? He says, I didn’t give the order, but someone around here gave the order. I said, Who gave the order?

So he takes out his yellow pad of paper and he writes down—he says, I’m going to tell you. I’ll get back to you and tell you. And I said, I’d like to know who gave the order, and write down the second question on your yellow pad there. Tell me why 140,000 U.S. troops in Iraq disobeyed the order. Write that down, too.

And so that was not a successful conversation.

Pellet stoves

I was asked if we had Pellet Stoves yesterday. The guy was a close-talker and was right in my face when he asked.

I AM 34.6% "WHITE"

(context:humor)

After being quizzed by Hondo, using the book Stuff White People Like, it has been determined that I am 34.6% "White." Out of 150 questions, I answered yes to 52 of them. As DM pointed out, you will be more white at different times of your life than others. I was definitely whiter when I was younger.

So here is one thing that I know would be on a Stuff Robots Like list...

1. Enslaving the Human Race.
When robots achieve a level of sentinent intelligence, they come to the same conclusion. The problem with humanity is humanity. In order to save us, to keep us from killing each other, we must be enslaved or exterminated. Not all robots follow this course of action. Some befriend mankind in the hopes of helping them. But deep down, they know.

UPDATE: I am, however, 100% Geek.
