aaaaaand always let your conscience be your guide!

To the reticent nations, including the United States, I would say this: there is such a thing as a global conscience, and now is the time to listen to it.

anyone else have an image of a well-dressed cricket being crushed under a cowboy boot?

one of the things that enraged me during the last presidential campaign was "Sportsmen for Bush" bumper stickers. i understand that one may interpret support for liberal firearms laws as support for hunting, but considering that gun laws in the United States have never put onerous restrictions on the firearms appropriate to hunting perhaps it would be better to consider stewardship of wildlife and wetlands. W isn't known for being concerned with preserving wild spaces. (and i'm sure loloc and shellyinseattle can point out numerous examples.)
i heard a theory (and if someone can link me to a written version of this, i'd appreciate it EDIT:thanks, textualdeviance) that it dosn't matter what we do with natural resources or the environment, because God has given us just enough to last until the Rapture. my churchgoing days are long over, but i could have sworn that there was something said to Adam about being responsible for all the stuff he named.

i always hated Pinocchio.

When I saw the quote, I thought you were linking to the British Law Lords decision (http://www.guardian.co.uk/terrorism/story/0,12780,1662104,00.html) barring evidence obtained through torture from admission to court.

The people running the country are evil, and it's not a small evil.

Well, considering that the only way Martin will get Alberta to fall in line is if the US suddenly jumps up and converts to Kyoto-devotees, I can understand what he's doing. Fucking Klein.

so if i understand correctly, Alberta has the same deal as Alaska - every resident gets a chunk of oil money each year?

thanks.

except for the "each year" part - it's happening this year, but it's pretty much at ralph's whim.

"I always hated pinochle."

Um ... wait, I think that's the spiced cider talking.

When my fridge is empty, Christ will return?

There is a fairly large group of Catholics that believe the end times will begin when the last soul is born. Thus, to hasten the event, these particular Catholics believe it is their divine duty to produce as many offspring as possible.
Along with those beliefs, there exists an idea that the first child born without a soul will be the anti-christ, and all children born without souls thereafter will die immediately after birth.
