The Environmental Atheist

Ha, ha. Yeah, that happens to me, too. In fact, I had saved a half-finished post as a draft and when I went back to finish it, I couldn't remember what point I was trying to make. :)
 

Marcy: It's maddening, I tell ya! I had a beautiful idea about the dawn of agriculture and got bogged down in my recurring struggle with cultural power dynamics. To tell the truth, that post of yours about moochers kind of lit the spark for it. I might post it anyway after I clean it up a bit this weekend - that is if it can be cleaned up. I don't want it to be another of the dozens collecting dust on the back burner.

Thanks for that vjack. Somehow I think that an email of concern from a Canadian to the US Congress would hinder rather than help the actions listed there. I'm sure that there must be a Canadian equivalent somewhere. Emailing Canadian politicians is dicey, because they read their email. I got into a flame war with one a while back about his party's support of the Iraq war - bloody conservative jackass. It's tough to butt heads about current events with someone who helps set policy for their party and is one of the more vocal members of Parliament. That didn't stop him from talking out of his ass, though. He had the duck and weave of the fallacy dance down pat and lots of smelly nuggets of propaganda oft repeated by his American counterparts on the evening news. Thankfully, my current MP has a more responsive ear and a progressive outlook.
