FUBART woes

BART, normally reliable, is FUBART today! Man, I’m sitting on the train trying to go to work, so first we stood there with no train at the platform, then, 5 minutes late, a train pulled into the wrong platform, we were told to board that train, which we did, then for the next 15 minutes, nothing. Then just now we rolled out of the station, in the wrong direction. There really must be a mess in the BART schedule this morning! Yet there are no advisories on the BART web site. Now we are finally moving in the proper direction and are on the proper side of the Dublin Station, man they are totally messed up! Finally, a full 20 minutes behind schedule, with the train already at capacity, we have rolled out of the station toward San Francisco. Full speed for about 30 seconds and now we are moving at about 5 miles an hour... and now we've stopped... I wonder if I will ever get to work today? I suppose I will just get out my book, A World of Difference, and read for a while and try and relax.

Unrelated to the above I have deleted all of my KFUO podcasts. I once listened to Issues Etc., the Bible Study and Wrestling with the Basics from KFUO, but since they canceled Issues Etc. I have noticed that the confessional pastors who were once on the Bible Study have vanished. Only the sappy, sickly sweet, happy-clappy style pastors are on it and I was afraid I was going to go into insulin shock if I kept listening, so I've given them up for good now. I think I'll send them an email, if I get calm enough about the subject to do it in a loving manner, right now I don't feel much love for the fools.

    Ouch. I'm really sorry to hear that The Bible Study is going downhill too. I hadn't heard anything about that..

    Well, that is my subjective opinion, really I don't have much but an impression to go on there.

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. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. 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
