R.I.P. F-22 Raptor

We have an oxymoron on our hands. Our president is an anti-war fascist. All the time and money invested by all the people who had anything to do with this machine has effectively been wasted. This plane has been in R&D since the 1980's (that means we personally have all spent a lot of money on this project) So the senate ordered only 187 planes...not all of which will actually be completed. This does not bode well for the F-35 and anyone who has any connection to the aviation industry (Non-commercial)

Clever Bumper Sticker Ends Abortion Debate

I'm sorry, but religion is retarded...it just is. FYI: isn't the last line kind of a misnomer? I thought that Jesus taught not to judge. It would seem that his followers have taken quite a fancy to judgment. It's one of their favorite tools. Insert rants in comment box.

Give Blood, Play Rugby

The ISU rugby team officially starts 2-a-days in August...Plan is to at least have some fun, and loose the spare tire. Worst case scenario, I'll get in better shape for the wedding. So everyone needs to learn some good rugger songs because it won't be too long until we are all together drinking and singing like the good old days. I'm thinking Nic should keep his stereo at his old house so we can party with some Dropkick Murphy's and Flogging Molly. Could be fun, just think about it!

I marvel that the flames do not wake you.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

Maybe it's just organized religion I have a problem with...maybe not, it's all up in the air. All I can say is if I were to pick one, I'm glad I was raised Catholic. I just don't understand creationists...It seems like a terrible joke to me. John Paul II said (in writing) that the Darwinian sense of evolution is no longer a mere myth. Catholics 1- Protestants 0.
