It Matters

I just finished sending emails to my state's senators, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson regarding this impending bill. I think that a comprehensive overhaul of the system is completely uncalled for. The lack of responsibility on the majority’s part by wanting to push this so hastily through without full disclosure of every single item and their implications of each item is simply appalling. They haven't even read it word for word. I am planning on giving them a call later today.

You can find your senators information by visiting the senates website. You should email them, and get everyone you know to email or give them call. It matters.

Expelled

 This morning I watched the film, "Expelled". It is the brainchild of Ben Stein and was very enlightening. Quite a breathe of fresh air, actually, to know that there is someone out there who is on the mission to air out the "Academy's" dirty laundry.

In a nutshell, Ben Stein is on the crusade for scientists who support intelligent design and their freedom to legitimately challenge "Big Science's" orthodoxy without persecution. Along the way he also exposes how modern thinking attempts to cover any efforts of the intelligent design community. 

Stein takes the issue of current day persecution in academia to some of the most notable minds in the modern field to hear them defend what they stand for. What we quickly see is that they have turned all of their efforts from proving what they believe to be accurate (the evolution of origins) to bashing any sign of life in the intelligent design community.

If you have an hour or two and would like to know exactly how present day scientists face persecution, sit down and watch this film. I highly recommend it. 

Australia on Fire

Australia is seeing some of the worst fires it has ever seen.

I rarely hear about the animals affected by such fires because most of the attention goes to the danger faced by humans, but humans are not the only ones at risk.

Man vs Wild: Marsh

Today I went back into the marsh but this time I went in alone. This would have been fine if I would have only done what I went out to do. I, however, wanted to do some exploring that took me way out into the marsh. One wrong step and I was in to my knees. I was stuck for almost ten minutes. It could have been much worse but I did not panic and I followed protocol for self removal. Thanks Bear! Unfortunately I did not bring any extra clothing with me. The mud filled in my boots and my jeans were plastered with mud. I used my trusted Swiss Army to cut them off. It was a fairly high cut to make sure I got all the mud off before I got into my car. Thank goodness I did not have to make any stops between Skidaway and Statesboro or I might have been mistaken for Daisy Duke.
