I am finished with school, for now - got a degree in Environmental Science with an emphasis in Geology, think slip-n-slides are a hoot, and am a strong supporter of the National Baseball League adopting the designated hitter position. Since I'm from the Seattle area, I love the Seahawks and Mariners. I play the guitar, ski, and climb. I read a lot and love my wife more than anything. I like chocolate chip cookies, and Henry Weinhard's private reserve. I also love to travel. Been all over this country and Europe a few times and so far my favorite places in the world are: of course Seattle (well, the northwest for that matter), Montana and the Rockies, New York, Washington D.C., London, Florence, Rome, the Alps, Scotland, Prague, Mendoza, Buenos Aires, Uruguay, and a few other locations in Eastern Europe that will remain nameless in a futile effort to protect them from flocks of rude tourists. I consider myself to be a staunch liberal even though I regularly attend church. How can someone be a liberal and a Christian in today’s polarizing society? Well, I believe the two really don’t have much in common. One’s a political stance – the other, a religion. As for politics, living in the greatest country in the world, we should take care of our own more than we are. Instead, over five billion dollars are being spent on an unjust and illegal war waged by W and his billionaire cronies. (The UN has stated that it could feed and medically meet everybody’s need on the face of the earth for half what the war has cost, and that was in 2005.) Meanwhile, here at home, security at the borders is lacking and is completely absent in most major ports, children have turned in the lowest standardized test scores in history under No Child Left Behind, veterans wounded in W’s war are not receiving the medical attention they deserve, and the deficit is higher than it has ever been in the history of our country. W has borrowed more money from other countries than every single president before him combined. That’s ridiculous! And now he wants to remove detainees’ rights to a trial and go straight to torturing them. I’m ashamed this is what our government has resorted to and hope that soon a reasonable, respectable person filled with positive ideas and diplomacy assumes the role of president. Well, virtually anybody would be better than the divisive uneducated man full of hate and war in there right now. As for religion and science, I think there are amazingly simple, beautiful, and undeniable parallels between the two. There’s no reason for a debate, they actually compliment each other quite nicely. I’m tired of people from both sides trying to refute the other, especially religious leaders trying to argue against evolution. They have no idea what they are talking about and just end up sounding uneducated. Get over it, we came from monkeys! Besides, in my opinion, evolution does nothing to disprove religion, so, if you think I (as well as the whole scientific community) am wrong, do yourself a favor; before you say anything, go get a proper education about evolution and make an attempt to really understand it. You’ll realize there is not a serious argument that can be formulated to stand against or disprove evolution. Now you probably don’t think I’m a Christian anymore; well, that's what a polarizing society does, forces you to pick a side. But no matter what side you're on, one thing everybody can and should agree on is the preservation of our environment. It has been estimated that by the end of this century, over half the species living today will go extinct if we don't do anything. Shoot, no matter what, a quarter are doomed to perish. This problem is here and real, do something about it. Oh, one more thing, I don't think FOX News is either fair or balanced. That is completely misleading and manipulative. That station is doing nothing but creating negative propaganda that only causes harm to our country.Cursor by www.Soup-Faerie.Com
