Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Indiana High School Puts Graduation Prayer Up for a Vote; Valedictorian Sues – The whole point of a constitution is that we are not a pure democracy where whatever the majority wants it can impose. We have laws and restrictions and freedoms for all that are protected by the Constitution. Putting it up for a vote is no more legitimate than having the student body decide whether to have an orgy after the graduation (something I suspect the pastor quoted would have a problem with).
- Make it so tiny – Where no man’s eyeball has gone before. Very cool.
- GLBT community pressing for census question to declare sexual orientation – The Denver Post – All fine and well. But there are any number of other questions or interests or demographics that could be included, too, that aren’t.
- Lesbian couple speak against Boulder Catholic school that rejected their kids – The Denver Post – They are far more generous and faithful than I woul dbe.
- Fighting Vampires in Office Max – One must always be prepared for vampire attacks. And zombie invasions, too.
- Signs: The most useful thing you pay no attention to. – By Julia Turner – Slate Magazine – Not surprisingly, even in this era of GPS units, road signage remains critically — even fatally — important.
- Adorable? – Fun with Quantum Physics!
- Robert Kuttner: The End of an Illusion – While I applaud a desire to build consensus — and am not sure that, in his position, I wouldn’t have done the same — sooner or later you realize that turning the other cheek just provides an additional target.
