How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have.
They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.

Free Starbucks, Anyone?


Just checked and this offer is still good.  Click here to sign up for some info on the new Hyatt in Las Vegas and you will get a $10 Starbucks card!  You can even give it to me if you like!  ;)

Back of the loaf is the snowy flour,
And back of the flour is the mill;
And back of the mill is the wheat, and the shower
And the sun, and the Father's will.

Pro-Life Club is "Antiabortion Club" to Media

I saw this headline this morning at washingtonpost.com: "Teen Wins Fight for Antiabortion Club at School."  Of course it isn't called the "Antiabortion Club."  In real life (as opposed to the imagined and hoped-for world of our media elites) it's called the "Pro-Life Club."  But why bother reporting obnoxious details like that when your mainstream media style guide won't let you use bizarre phrases like "Pro-Life."  I'm glad the girl won the case; she should have won.  As she says, "It's not a radical thing to expect equal treatment."

The club promotes teen sexual abstinence as well as opposing abortion, so obviously school administrators had initially turned the club down "on the grounds that it was not tied to the school curriculum."  Ha!  I imagine the club's goals are rather in opposition to the school curriculum.  Good thing.

Safari Browser for Windows

Some time back I posted about "Alternative Browsers" for Windows.  At the time I gave plaudits to Opera, and I still do.  I also tried, and have used intermittently, Flock (a Firefox-based browser), Chameleon (on the boys' older computer running ME), in addition to Opera, Firefox, and (every now and then for kicks) IE.  Opera really is the quickest, and seems to have better compatibility now with Google apps like "Docs" than it did when I first tried it.

The one area, however, that Explorer continued to be superior in my opinion was in its rendering of fonts.  They just looked cleaner, sharper, and overall better with IE than in any other browser. Until now.  I just downloaded Apple's Safari 3 Public Beta for Windows, and I love the way this page looks in it!  The fonts are very much like IE, but it's not IE!  Safari seems to have some other interesting features which I haven't checked out yet, but I had to go ahead and comment because I so much like the way the internet looks with it.  Worth checking out.

Abortion and Slavery

Charles Moore writes a very interesting column in the Telegraph of London about his vision of a future denunciation of abortion such as we have seen with slavery.  He says,

It is not hard to imagine how a future Museum of London exhibition about abortion could go. It could buy up a 20th-century hospital building as its space, and take visitors round, showing them how, in one ward, staff were trying to save the lives of premature babies while, in the next, they were killing them.

It could compare the procedure by which the corpse of a baby who had died after or during premature birth was presented by the hospital to the mother to assist with grieving, with the way a similar corpse, if aborted, was thrown away.

It could display the various instruments that were used to remove and kill the foetus, rather as the manacles and collars of slaves can be seen today.

I pray he is right.
