The Amateur Magician [August 2007]

Religious “discussions” on the net tend to become flame wars, but they seem to be keeping it civil over at AskMeFi: (The != in the link is computer talk for “not equal.”)

The Old Testament God != The New Testament God?


Wonder where all the hippies went? We call them nerds these days:

I’m trying to be more like “him”:

Consideration Liberation [August 2007]

It’s the Summer of Thought brought to you by Winnipeg’s Consideration Liberation Army.

From their manifesto:

We are the Consideration Liberation Army. Underground, over airwaves, lollygagging in air-conditioned offices, and cavorting behind basement curtains. We smile in broad daylight and shout while you are sleeping.

[…]

The indifferent will be tattooed with troubling questions. The thoughtless will be flogged with compact lines of verse. And the cruel and condescending will held captive in waterparks until they learn to laugh like children.

The Consideration Liberation Army was created by Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan.
