Things

SO I read an article about the Tea Party today, which if you ask me is getting scarier and scarier (the article) To completely generalize it, but I think accurately, it's a bunch of uneducated ignorant white religious zealots wanting someone to be angry and violent towards. The article is very very biased against the Tea party, doing it's best to point out how ignorant the majority of them are. But still. Tea party is scary, anybody who threatens violent revolution in relatively moderate times is frightening. I mean in times of Hitler murdering thousands of a race, yeah, probably a good idea to rise up. But in terms of a President doing possibly questionable things in order to attempt to help the vast majority of American people in a more transparent way than any president before him? I don't know about that. Moral of the story, Tea Party scary, worried to see how they progress.

Second topic. Wasteful science. So I love when I hear of some break through piece of science that further understands the human genome, or takes a step towards curing a disease, or making a more fuel efficient energy source. I think to myself, AHH what a good day to be a part of humanity. Then sometimes I go on CNN and see a new study that says, "Malaria is probably what killed King Tut, yup, we've spent thousands researching this. We finally know what killed this king thooouuussands of years ago" and I'm like, "God Damnit" Why would anybody spend their time researching that. I mean researching fossils and dinosaurs or human ancestors or the history of the cosmos is one thing, but something as specific, non-relevant and who-caresey as what killed King Tut, Why do people waste the time?

No more topics. Actually quick third topic. I like First Lady Obama's keep kids fit movement, I do not like people who appear on the news criticizing her, claiming she is going to make fat kids feel self conscious, when she has said several times that it's not about body image but health. Dude just wanted to promote his book, what a stooge. Also, I believe, or at least have heard rumblings, that there is a legitimate connection between obesity and poor health. hmmmmmm.
