Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

Infidel,
Maybe it is my PC but this post seems to have nixxed previous posts so all I get is this post. Thought you ought to know in case the problem is at your end and not mine. Having said that I don't have any problems with anything else online so...
It's just that it's so long that it's the only one there's room for on the front page. If you scroll down the right sidebar, between the "reality check" section and the "archives" section, there's a list of links to previous posts.
Lots of very good stuff!
The two things I know about Denzel Washington are...
Trivia here. He has had roles in two movies about the Red Tails - an all black P-51 squadron from WWII (the US military didn't desegragate until Truman! - 80 odd years after the Civil War). The first is a fairly obscure one from c. late '80s - early '90s where he is a junior pilot. The second was a fairly recent Spielberg cludge where he is the CO. I like absurd film trivia. I've got one about Tom Cruise but I'll leave that for another time.
The second is he's a damn fine actor.
And he's right. That's all I really need to know about him. In exactly the same way all I need to know about my dentist is she's a good dentist with a degree in dental surgery from Manchester University. That and she has good "people skills" because I have had dentists in the past that seemed to think it clever to put the fear up people.
This is the problem with celeb "culture". More people seem to know that Albert Einstein shagged Marilyn Monroe than know why he won a Nobel.
Most of these are really fantastic. A few are wrong, in my informed opinion, but I support your right to freedom of speech in posting them. (Even if and especially if it were to offend me personally.) :)
Ricko: Thanks!
NickM: I'm not very familiar with Denzel Washington, but I know a good insight when I see one.
I didn't know that Einstein "shagged" Monroe, actually. I guess she went for the brainy type, which puts her a cut above most celebrities.
Darrell: Thanks. I appreciate your open-mindedness.
there are so many good ones I can't choose...might steal a few...
