Should Islam be banned?

Here is one of those rare instances when I agree with John Warwick Montgomery. In reference to the case in the Sudan, where British volunteer school teacher Gillian Gibbons was imprisoned for allowing the children to name a teddy bear Muhammad, after one of the pupils in the class, Montgomery commented:

"You'll pardon my opinion on this, but I would outlaw the Muslim
religion on the very same basis that I would outlaw the Aztec
religion. The Aztec religion holds to human sacrifice. I would not
allow that religion to prevail, nor would I allow Islam to prevail,
because the moment that they get into any situation of power, the
result is this kind of thing, which is against human rights and
against human civilization. And I don't care that there's some lovely
Muslims around. I'm sure there were some very fine Aztecs as well."

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,...

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome
