I just dearly adore so much of Jane Galt’s Asymmetrical Information – while I don’t always agree with everything she says, this tickled me in particular:

“…don’t think I’m letting you guys off, here. A lot of you act like big fat jerks. Just because evolution designed you to act that way doesn’t mean you shouldn’t let civilization overcome those instincts. Nature also designed you to sleep in the woods and die at twenty, and if you can’t be civilized, I suggest you oblige. If, for example, I hear a male adopt the pro-life side, he’d better be willing to step up and shoulder his responsibilities with a ring.”

Hee. Not that I’m saying you should get married just because there’s a kid involved, because that’s a whole other sort of Gothic tragedy, but hee.

This statement by Assaf Oron, an Israeli refusenik who was one of the first fifty-three soldiers to sign a petition refusing the Occupation, is brilliant. I salute him and all those who have the courage to speak truth to power, no matter what the consequences.

Just so ya’ll can’t tell me I haven’t spoken to you recently, I give you this exciting tidbit (and my thanks to jinxmalone, a fellow nano):

You are the exotic pin-up. Nothing about you is ordinary. You are mysterious and lean toward foreign places and exciting men.
