Just believe

Post by **_Bond...James Bond** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 6:35 am

I'll believe in God when I meet him/her.

I'll believe I'm marriagable material when I get married.

I'll believe in true love...um when it happens to me. Till then I believe in sour grapes.

I'll believe in Free Bird...but only when sung by Ronnie VZ.

I'll believe in diet soda....it keeps me thin...ish.

I'll believe in flying monkeys, cause that would be damned awesome reality.

I'll believe in sleep...now hopefully.

I believe I have moments...which I usually screw up with unwanted belches or flatus.

(awkward silence...)

Scary s***.

And how...good stuff. Helped me get over wisdom teeth. Apparently I was a bit out of it. My friends kidded me for years for some of the crazy crap I told them on the phone (none of which I remember...damn drugs).

I am a mathematician, Jazz fusion guitarist, male primate from the species homosapiens, I enjoy nature, beautiful women, reading mathematical physics and philosophy books.

The Jazz Fusion guitarist aspect has just saved you from complete and total oblivion. Don't squander it...

OK, I vote on an issue by issue basis if possible, I prefer greenery to concrete, I am not a big fan of continuing affirmative action, I believe I should be able to own a gun, I believe there is such a thing as welfare abuse and I also beleive that there are people who deserve a helping hand or second chance. I do not oppose all war but I think the Iraq war was ill advised while the war in Afganistan was a good idea. I do not think that this country is automatically better than all other nations in every way but I am proud to be an American. I admire the thinking Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Pain.
I think that Rush Limbaugh is dishonest and a jerk big mouth who is factually wrong regularly. He foolishly mocks science that he doesn't understand.
I believe in separation of church and state and I oppose any form of government endorsement of religion.
I have been a registered Democrat for about 1/100th of my life.
Excessive political correctness bugs me and I think we the universities are inflating grades of undergraduates everywhere with some exceptiosn and certifying incompetance all to often. I am not a fan of radical feminism and do not buy some of the weird theories about gender that I have heard.
On the issue of same sex parenthood, it is in need of study and I have only my hunches. I do not think gays are evil or lesser citizens.

Yeah, quite a cocktail. Looks a lot like a mishmash of standard social and political liberalism mixed here and there with small doses of libertarinism. What is lacking, of course, is any conservative sensibilities. In other words, what we have here is Bill Maher in a lab coat.

Taking this at face value, It still looks as if tarski is primarily well to the left of center in most areas (his views on AGW are at the extreme end, and while one issue cannot define an entire worldview, its provides a barometer for the rest of the system). I only notice that he attempts to float down the middle of some issues that really should be rather easy to take a strong and passionate stand on. I just notice that he mentions excessive political correctness. I'm not aware that any degree of political correctness is acceptable in a free society.

His statement about Rush just indicates that he has never listened to him, as is the case with virtually all liberals who criticize him.

Well, good show old boy, your way, way ahead of some other folks here.
