Go Huskies!

I am not a “school” spirit type of person but given the incident at my school, I say it because I want to express my defiance in being victimized and my steadfast belief that life is good. Situations like these are the exceptions which cannot govern our everyday life and behavior. The best we can do to cope is to engage in the things we love and are passionate about: the creative, the productive, our nourishing relations with others. As I mourn with my fellow students and faculty, I am surprised and touched by the outpouring of support from all around the country. Thank you.

Presidential Vote

Take my survey regarding the presidential vote. It consists of two questions. You can find the link right under “polls and surveys” in the sidebar.

Nutso Supreme

Tom Cruise always seemed a wee bit strange to me, apart from his involvement with Scientology. But this recent video floating on the internet takes his irrationality to a new level. Does anyone understand his palaver?

What is funny to me though is that to some Scientologists’ beliefs are irrational while those adhering to major religions such as Christianity are not. Really, what is the difference between believing that an evil galactic warlord Xenu wreaked havoc on humans when he sent disembodied spirits implanted with false memories to Earth 75 million years ago, and believing that a virgin gave birth? Both beliefs are the product of evading and denying reality and the means by which we come to know it: Reason. Sigh…
