I remember a Star Trek episode in which a man, closing in on 50 years of age, was expected to commit suicide, as all people do, to prevent themselves from reaching old age and becoming a burden on society. Interesting, I read a commentary just last weak that said that the teaching of evolution was the teaching that we should kill the old, the decrepit, and the stupid. What utter nonsense. Evolution is the biological method by which gene frequencies change in a given population over time. That is, evolution explains why killing the old, the decrepit, and the stupid would change the gene ...

While I was studying for my abnormal psychology class, I was reviewing antisocial personality disorder. It suddenly struck me that the Religious Right, which marches under the banner of the Conservative Party in Canada, and the Republican Party in the United States, are antisocial.

Sterilization is the process of making someone unable to reproduce. Voluntary sterilization is not uncommon in modern society: men get vasectomies and women can get tubal ligations. There is also the concept of 'forced sterilization'. This is a logical extension of eugenics, which means 'good genes'. Eugenics has been around for a long time.

If I were to say raise your hands who wants minimum wages, everybody would. Raise your hands for equal pay for equal work, whether you are male or female, everybody would. And if I were to say how many of you have a sister or a brother who is married to the same sex, and I would probably be the only one who'd raise his hand. We ...

Gun Myth #1 -- The Safety of Guns One day while at work I was singing to myself a song by the Arrogant Worms: Wouldn't it be great if everybody had a gun? [x2] There'd be no more crime, 'cause everybody'd have a gun! Wouldn't it be great if everybody had a gun? [x3] We wouldn't need the police no more, 'cause everybody'd have a gun! (Yeah!) Wouldn't it be great if everybody had a gun? [x3] Nobody'd ever get shot, 'cause everybody'd have a gun! (Makes sense!)
