@wmhartnett Haha, zomg, Burt Reynolds Museum?! That is nine kinds of awesome. http://is.gd/bJje |
@andrew_dunn Nice, but I miss the old title photo of a stack of papers. Maybe I'm just nostalgic. |
@waxwing Again "saving" every whale in the sea is to me an extremely minor "good." So upping the resources used there just makes it worse. |
My brain is all out of juice after this week. Must rest for a bit. |
@andrew_dunn I usually end up disliking all WP themes, thinking I should just build my own, never get around to it. |
@waxwing No, I said it was funny. Futile. A comedy. They're not doing evil, but not doing anything helpful either. That's all I'm saying. |
@waxwing I'm unimpressed with fantastical slippery slope arguments about the End of Life on Earth, clearly. |
@waxwing Also, one can care for animals, plans, etc, w/o endowing them with "rights," still caring for humans more. |
@waxwing Can't rehash my Pol Theory 101 essays in 140 chars, but - No. Environmental destruction affects people, so can't be ignored. |
@waxwing Nope, for human rights, not animal liberation. Thus I find a War for Whales preposterous as well as futile. I know others disagree. |
@waxwing A hyperbolic analogy. While saving whales from unseemly people is a real cause, I don't consider it a very serious one. |
@guykawasaki Heh, I don't hate President Bush, but I find people throwing things at him hilarious! |
@TripIt I doubt there was an error, just didn't do anything worthwhile for me easily. I don't need a map or another social network, thanks. |
@danielbachhuber Yes, I'm connecting to Philadelphia by way of Shanghai! |
@waxwing Say I think road signs use a really bad font; I could dedicate my life to stealing & "correcting" them. But that'd be silly. |
@waxwing Interesting, that's the crux of it: A cause is not MINE, not a "lifestyle choice," not like a brand of shoes to be picked out. |
@waxwing Belief, dedication are noble traits. But to what end? Outcomes matter. I can admire such faith, still think it comically misguided. |
And by generic, yes, I mean at this point the term "hippie" has probably lost meaning. But it's still fun to say. |
@waxwing a) "Hippie" = generic term of derision. b) No. I value human life more than animals, and think outrage w/o scale is not helpful. |
@waxwing Sorry, "Whale Wars" is a tragi-comedy. If only hippies cared half so much about human beings, there'd be a lot less hunger tonight. |
