dixit

«Does this mean that a great creator or ” god ” created the universe with which we live, and within that universe are certain laws and principles that apply.
So there for, the god created that which we know and still don’t know, but that science applies within this realm of living which was created by a higher power.When you combine the two, then you can open your self up to a greater understanding of life and what it’s purpose and meaning is.
Both apply and both are very real.

Kinda like a power ranger and his mega zord or whatever it’s called.»

RT @antonyjohnston: “Society doesn’t need newspapers. What we need is journalism.” Excellent essay: http://tinyurl.com/bpxulr

Journalism

«When we can’t compete with a comic in terms of speaking truth to power, then it’s more clear than ever that journalism in the US has lost its way. It comes as no surprise then when, as newspapers crumble around the country, a report like the one released by the Pew Research Center this week says that only 33% of people would miss their local newspaper “a lot.” When you lead with a story about an interview that happened on a comedy show–and it’s the very same story that almost everyone else is leading with as well–what’s to miss?

What’s to miss–the refrain is always repeated–is the investigative reporting that helps to keep our leaders honest, our water clean, our businesses pure. What’s to miss is people asking fearless questions to those that need them asked. What’s to miss is the deep pockets that can fund a reporter to dig and dig and dig until she’s able to uncover some fragile truth. And yes, that stuff is vital to the functioning of a democracy. It also, let’s speak the truth here, doesn’t happen very often.

Traditional news organizations have nothing to lose right now. Why not take a gamble at the one thing they haven’t tried: being fearless. Stewart would probably appreciate the company.»

dixit

«Would a gnome risk being seen? Captured? Hurt? or even worse would a gnome try and harm a human? I personally do not think gnomes would do something like that and I personally do not think that a gnome could project his/her voice loud enough to be heard, even for a whisper. But then again, I have never seen one, so I cannot say this for certain.»
