“In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.”

This is one case of transparency that is particularly painful. Does anyone other than the rich and the yacht company owners really believe that this failed trickle-down economics will actually work? Ask anyone who’s watched the fatcats get fatter and they’ll give you a resounding…HELL, NO!

How Tsunamis Work | LiveScience
A short, but informative article on how tsunamis work…minus the human element of what it would be like to see one of these bad boys heading straight for you. No article could really explain that.

If King Harald of Norway approves, and even has his own outrageous curling pants, then it’s official–these pants do indeed take the prize for most original (and successful!) marketing method of the decade. Before the Olympics, before the argyle pants, before the Facebook fan page, can you honestly say you really cared about Olympic curling? I rest my case.

Created via Microsoft Word and revised 27 times in 2 days, something about this just doesn’t ring true. He was a software engineer, and he used Word, of all things, to create a web page? That, and the fact that he completely lost track of the fact that the people in the office building over on Hwy 183 were just that…people. People with children, people with parents, people with brothers and sisters and husbands and wives. To commit suicide is one thing, to force others to participate is murder, or at least attempted murder, and a savage, criminal act.
