Why a gay man like me is going to make it hard for Indiana businesses to exercise their ���religious liberty���
Governor Pence? Perhaps you can provide an answer to this.

California Is Turning Back Into A Desert And There Are No Contingency Plans
Serious stuff, here. Doom-n-gloom prophecies are often exaggerated, but there’s a lot of careful research behind this. We really need to face the fact that our way of life is not sustainable.
I do disagree with one statement made here: that the world eats more food than we produce each year. Nope – we throw away enough food to feed all the hungry people. And most of what we grow goes to feed an overabundance of animals that we then slaughter for food. This is highly inefficien...

We Are (Not) Special: Anthropocentrism and the Evolving Universe (Part 2), by John Halstead
There are interesting thoughts, here. Opinions? What do any of you think of evolution and our part in it?
Originally posted on Humanistic Paganism:
Cosmic Evolution
As mentioned in Part 1, if we were to go back in time and reset the course of evolution, it is highly unlikely that we would be here the second time around. On the other hand, according to some theorists, it is highly likely ��� perhaps inevitable ��� that some form of tool-using, self-conscious species would evolve....

Welcome to the Summerlands, or Everyone Talks About the Weather
I know some of you are dealing with horrendous winter weather at the moment. I wish you good luck and warmth as you deal with it. That said, it’s too bad you don’t live here. We are having a heat wave of sorts, with temps in the high 70s. ��Blue, blue skies, occasional wispy clouds, and very happy birds and squirrels. We’re opening windows and kicking off covers around here. It’s gorgeous.
We tend to have warmer weather east of the Berkeley hills, than the rest of the Bay Area experiences (exc...

Three Muslim Students Were Killed in a Tragic Attack Carried Out by an Atheist
My heart actually hurt for the three people who were killed. They were good��people, kind, generous, ��compassionate… and they were senselessly killed by a deranged idiot. Did he do it “because” they were Muslim? I don’t know – although I’m sure his insane mind latched onto the current issues regarding Islam and terrorism, and used that as justification.
Atheism had nothing to do with this. This man is insane.

Middle Earth Living
I like round houses. Don’t know why, but when I see ��a picture of one, I get happy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a round house in person but a tour of round houses would be an awesome vacation.
I’m going to make a confession.
Sometimes I look at round-house porn.
I’ll go to sites like this or this��and lick my lips at the possibilities.
What is it that attracts me to such oddities? I do have a contrary streak that leans toward the unusual. It’s pretty mild, which is why there are no pictures of...
