03:33 pm - unintended consequences
"Indeed, courts — citing the Equal Access Act, which requires public schools to provide equal access to extracurricular clubs — have consistently ruled against schools that try to block [Gay-Straight Alliances] from starting. (The 1984 law was the brainchild of Christian groups fighting to allow students to form religious clubs in schools.)"

Passing on a worthwhile message from my friend Andy:
----
You'll recall that earlier this month I told you about a site called ideablob, where I had posted my idea for green microfinance and was in the running for $10,000.
Well, thanks to your votes, I am now one of 8 finalists (out of hundreds of entries) and I just need you to vote one more time to assure I win! (even if you voted the first time, you have to vote again because the finals start from 0).
To vote for me, just go back to www.ideablob.com and you'll see my project listed on the main page (it's called Green Microfinance For People and the Planet).
Thank you very much. This money would go directly into a loan pool and would then be lent out to the low-income entrepreneurs in the Providence community.

01:51 pm - Political Label Test
This is the first draft. Please give me feedback.
----
Determine your political label with this hypothetical situation.
Due to the poor economy, a man is laid off from his job, losing his health insurance. He then learns that he has cancer. Also, he is gay and wants to marry his partner. Should the government ensure he receives health care? Should it allow him to marry?
- No health care; no marriage. You are CONSERVATIVE.
- No health care; no marriage. Send him to prison if you catch him in the act of sodomy. You are REALLY CONSERVATIVE.
- No health care; no marriage. God gave him cancer for being gay. You are RELIGIOUS RIGHT.
- No health care; the government is not involved in marriage. You are LIBERTARIAN.
- Mediocre health care; no marriage. You are CENTRIST-REPUBLICAN.
- Mediocre health care; no marriage, but he can have a civil union. You are CENTRIST-DEMOCRAT.
- Good health care... but he's in prison just for being gay. You are CUBAN COMMUNIST.
- Good health care; civil union. You are DEMOCRATIC PARTY or WESTERN EUROPE.
- Good health care; civil union. Also, he wouldn't have been fired in the first place. You are FRENCH SOCIALIST.
- Good health care; marriage. You are PROGRESSIVE or CANADIAN.
- Good health care; the government is not involved in marriage. You are PROGRESSIVE INTELLECTUAL.

Putting my mobile phone in the toaster oven may have worked, but putting my iPod in the freezer did not.
