Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled. Ezekiel 23:19-21 Lo siento. Ellos no hablan Inglés en Qué. Contact: Yahoo! / AIM

Shit. Severe mobility restriction due to inexplicable back pain. Can't look down. Can't bend around about bottom-of-sternum level. On top of that, I feel like I might be getting a cold. 10 comments

SO. MUCH. SENSE.

The government kills people.    2010-02-23 02:19:06 ET

http://www.slate.com/id/2245188/?GT1=38001 Basically, the federal government is responsible for 10,000-ish deaths during prohibition, because they intentionally poisoned the industrial alcohol stocks that they knew bootleggers would sell to alcohol drinking customers. This is apparently NOT well-known. The results were immediate, starting with that horrific holiday body count in the closing days of 1926. Public health officials responded with shock. "The government knows it is not stopping drinking by putting poison in alcohol," New York City medical examiner Charles Norris said at a hastily organized press conference. "[Y]et it continues its poisoning processes, heedless of the fact that people determined to drink are daily absorbing that poison. Knowing this to be true, the United States government must be charged with the moral responsibility for the deaths that poisoned liquor causes, although it cannot be held legally responsible." As far as responsibility goes, I've heard from a lot of people saying that responsibility for such a thing goes to the voters. I can't agree less. How much is kept secret to them? And aren't politicians liars? Everyone wants someone to blame, that's all. 9 comments

Ethics for Machines    2010-02-21 02:14:42 ET
I really like this. It's about applying ethics to the functioning parameters of machines, at least partly. It's beyond the idea of the three laws, though. A great read. Some of the philosophy textbook stuff gets a bit harder to follow (where it cites principles that it doesn't really explain), but by the end the point is still made. http://autogeny.org/ethics.html
