Malevolent Design – The Evil Genius Option
Why is the Universe like a watch ? Maybe its more like a big Lobster or an Avocado. What if the analogy to a vast machine is not accurate. Sure, if it is like a human artifact, than there might be proper basis for a sound inference. It will not be achieved by any ultimate deduction that is irrefutable. The Idea’s current adherents even accept the possibility that some alien intelligence could be the source of the design. Hume and Descartes picked up on that a long time ago. It does not guarantee an infinitely wise, good and powerful being. An evil genius could be the source of the world as we know it. Spinning ‘Darwinism’ as a type of fundamentalism or evolution as an ‘ideology’ and then reaching the conclusion such spurious ‘reasoning’ justifies its replacement with a choice religious tract is absurd. Perhaps it is not so much fear, but pitiable disgust that has allowed us to forget what was otherwise a good ending to a monkey trial.

The Bloody Nose Statists: Fistfights for Peace
Just after the WTC & Pentagon attacks an email circulated amongst those seeking immediate revenge. It described a situation where anybody spouting the pacifist jargon should be immediately punched. If the whiny peacenik continued to turn the other cheek or resist the idea of violence, they should be hit again. The idea was that anybody who was physically attacked would eventually retaliate with like force. Barring any larger metaphor or parallel to modern state behavior, this allowed the some Americans to feel better about an undeclared war against a state who sheltered OBL’s folk.

Whiskey & Domes: Rejecting the ‘Junk Car’ Law
I feel these laws exist to punish the ‘white trash’ element in society. Sophisticated professional people don’t dirty themselves with the old heap out back. If they did, a spotless garage with the best tools would no doubt hide their guilty pleasure. The guy who doesn’t have a garage and can’t afford a mechanic, sometimes keeps an old wreck to fix up. Maybe it has some nominal value or sentimental worth. He might not have a good answer because his dog just died or his old lady is pissed. Who really knows or cares ?
