I've been fascinated by history my whole life. Some of you who knew me back in high school might remember that besides being a troubled kid who did plenty of stupid things, I passed Mr. Culley's History class in the first week of our Junior school year when he gave us his post-test to see how we'd do. He had repeated one question twice, giving the test a possible 101 points and that was the only question I missed, twice!
The other day I saw an article from Think Progress about a Pennsylvania school district that has found a way to save money using one principal's sheep to keep the grass mowed. That brought howls of laughter to my friends, and to me at first. But then I realized that because the school district where I live is just like everyone else's, broke and desperate, we could be doing the same thing - soon.
I saw this 5:13 minute long video about Social Security. I guess the critics would like Social Security to not be socialist in nature, but then it wouldn't provide for the general welfare of the nation.
It is assumed by many of us who are practicing atheists that everyone left on earth after the 6PM local time rapture are fellow atheists. Join in celebrating the removal of all of the self-righteous smarmy people as they disappear from our lives forever! Since 89-year-old Harold Camping and his minions will be leaving the rest of us today, I thought it would be wonderful we could plan a post-rapture world-wide get-together.
