1. having swine flu is preferable to having “regular” flu
2. wouldn’t give the “dangerous” swine flu shot to his kids

More confirmation of my own suspicion that, while potentially dangerous, H1N1 is as much about power grabbing and hysteria as it is about genuine public safety. (Although claims are that some 3500 have died worldwide, the majority have been folks who had serious underlying conditions. Seems to me if that’s a “pandemic,” there are a lot of pandemics around.)

Just for the record: It is impossible for a fossil to demonstrate that humans descend from another form of animal life. Just because it would be impossible for evolution to be true unless there were transitional moments does not at all imply the roughly converse – viz, that an animal appearing to be somewhere between humans and other animals is a transitional creature proving the evolution of humans.

But evolution is every bit as much a faith as Christianity is. In this case, apparently quite a lot less logical.

But the solution to the problem is to demand more funding to deal with health issues which “disproportionately affect” the homosexual community. It is due to homophobia that Canada is not spending untold additional dollars to defuse the effects, not of heredity or environment, but of a lifestyle.

The path of destruction is clear, including homosexual men with a life expectancy 20 years less than heterosexual men. Suicide, drugs, alcoholism, depression, and cancer (oddly enough, including anal cancer)… these are the fault of others, sez the Coalition.

I grieve for homosexuals, but trying to deal with the symptoms rather than the root issue never works.

A Muslim businessman starts a TV network to help give Islam a better image in North America. And then he beheads his wife.

1. Thomas Sowell, Marxism. I’m about halfway through this. Sowell here bypasses 20th century Communism and expounds and summarizes the actual thought of Marx and Engels – rather interesting, as it turns out to be quite different from later “Marxism,” although certainly flawed in its own right. (Sowell does not critique throughout; he leaves that to the end.) Interestingly, the result seems to be that the Western democracies really are becoming genuinely Marxist in many respects.
2. Thomas Sowell, Basic Economics. Yes, I’m reading two books by Sowell simultaneously. I’m roughly 65% of the way through this one, I think. It’s a very substantial hardcover textbook, but it’s not nearly as tough sledding as you might think. The examples are usually real historical ones, and the thorough use of statistics nonetheless doesn’t bog the book down. An absolute must if you want to understand how interference in the market ends up destroying wealth, not just for the few at the top, but for all.
3. Patrick Buchanan, Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War. I’m about three quarters through this fascinating (albeit sometimes repetitive) read. Without excusing Hitler whatsoever, Buchanan convincing shows how the Western nations, and Great Britain in particular stumbled into two wars devastating in effect – through bad judgment. If you regard Winston Churchill as a great upright statesman who saved the West, this book may well change your mind….

Desert Yahweh, and He will turn you over to blindness.

Of course, I’m presently reading The Case Against Barack Obama, and Freddoso makes a compelling case that Obama has a long history of working hand-in-hand with the corrupt Machine of Chicagoland. So why not have more of the same nationally? He’s not a reformer (at least, not in any sense having to do with fighting corruption); that’s already been proven.
