Ignorance is bliss

"Why ask useless questions? How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky? Who is John Galt?"

All questions that any rational person could see the value of answering. In fact, you would think that anyone paying any attention to science in the 50 would certainly have had some interest in two of those topics, given the progress in sea and space exploration.

Of course, if you were busy navel gazing and building a cult of personality I suppose you might not have noticed - L.Ron Hubbard probably didn't think stuff like that was important either.

There should be a law

I think it's about time that we all agreed that anyone who has ever had sex should not be allowed to have children. Think about the possible impact on the child of finding out that one, or maybe even both of their parents had engaged in something as dirty as sexual intercourse. It might scar them for life!

Original article: Will "Orphan" hurt orphans?

Yes, of course

Just like "Bad Seed" led everyone to stop having children at all after it came out.

Original article: Adieu, sunkissed breasts

Really?

"Or is it just another part of a woman’s body, designed, among other things, as a feeding device for young mammals?"

Designed? Really? Designed? While I certainly see your point about breasts in general, I think I will go with evolved. Though I think that evolution has probably had a role in the sexualization of this particular body part as well.

It's not just Ikea...

I know many people that were upset when Apple switched from their custom Garamond variant to Adobe Myriad in around 2002.

Original article: Quote of the day

So...

No coverage for abortions, but also no coverage for maternity.

Why doesn't he just come out with it and admit that he would like to just outlaw wombs and all their nasty, expensive implications altogther?
