Two Excellent Reads

I stumbled upon these two articles....Both fairly short, and both very, very well written. The first deals with the false gay marriage scare the Religious Right is trying to manufacture. Some excellent points made in this article. The second deals with a former Neo-Con, who has changed his ways. He points out reasons Bush is the farthest thing from a Christian President. Couldn't agree more!

How very Chrisitan.....

This sure doesn't help the case for teaching creationism is public schools....Honestly, what is wrong with some people?!? If you must teach this version of events, why not go to a school that specializes in that way of thinking, where the parents all agree and support your position?!? (Although to be fair, I don't think anyone would support burning their children.)

Oil From Bug Poo?

I posted this yesterday on another site, but forgot to include it here. How will Gino ever read it?!? (He's the only one who may eventually look at this page.....)

I stumbled upon this story, and I sincerely hope it is not a fake....While it would not address the issue of carbon emissions, it would address the need for oil we currently have, as well as break our dependence on foreign nations that use oil as a bargaining chip. Perhaps this is not the final solutions, but it could be a way to bridge the gap until we find cleaner, renewable energy sources.

And for the record:

"The company claims that this “Oil 2.0” will not only be renewable but also carbon negative – meaning that the carbon it emits will be less than that sucked from the atmosphere by the raw materials from which it is made."

I still hope the story doesn't end up being a fake.....
