This is hitting high on Kirk's "why i'm just about to give up on humanity because we're still stuck in the friggin' middle ages" meter. Apparently the below e-mail was sent out by Colombia Christians for Life and it I think it illustrates rather poignantly how distorted logic can become when a person's capacity to think is hijacked by religious fundamentalism.




The image of the hurricane above with its eye already ashore at 12:32 PM Monday, August 29 looks like a fetus (unborn human baby) facing to the left (west) in the womb, in the early weeks of gestation (approx. 6 weeks). Even the orange color of the image is reminiscent of a commonly used pro-life picture of early prenatal development (see sign with picture of 8-week pre-born human child below). In this picture, and in another picture in today's on-line edition of USA Today*, this hurricane looks like an unborn human child.

The parentals came down for a visit this weekend. It was the first time they have seen the house that I'm living in along with Aga, Kasia, Stephen, Cristen, Hugo and two cats. Needless to say it promised fertile ground for possible hilarity. The above scene is somewhat of an accurate snapshot of life around here (yes, those are g-strings). It's been an interesting Co-op environment composed of truly dear friends and the folks dug on my habitation situation. They also dropped off an '87 Chevy van that fits about 7 folks super-comfortably and about 15 folks that don't mind compromising their personal space. So, the goal for the following three months is to take as many people as possible to as many far flung places as we can. First stop is Lost Maples in three weeks. Those in the Austin area should prepare accordingly.
