Too many people; not enough sun bears…
My Essay on Selling Organs
Posted on November 12, 2007 - Filed Under College, Philosophy | 6 Comments
Here it is, shorn of its footnotes and bibliography, with the paragraph indentation messed up (meaning that you can’t easily tell whether or not I am continuing a paragraph or starting a new one after I quote someone). I’m only going to leave it up for a few days because I don’t want people ripping [...]
Essay Update

1,658 words and I’m nowhere near finished. I haven’t even started discussing a market for body parts yet. Typically astute planning on my part…
Video Free Page

By my calculations this post should bump the last video off this page, thus fulfilling my commitment not post anymore videos for a while. My essay’s going great by the way - 918 words and most of the heavy philosophizing down, circa 800 words and some semi-predictable arguments to go. Anyhow, I must get [...]
Procrastination

I should either be asleep or working on an essay due for Monday, but instead I find myself blogging. Here are my thoughts right now:
I should have been asleep long ago.
Tomorrow is going to be a pain in the ass.
Stephen Colbert’s book is awesome.
I’m really steamed at somebody I won’t name, and I’m getting angrier [...]
King Juan Carlos Tells Chavez to “Shut Up”
Posted on November 11, 2007 - Filed Under Politics | Leave a Comment
About time too.
Not-so-long-story further abridged, the Venezuelan president made some typically idiotic remarks (calling former Spanish PM Jose Maria Aznar a “fascist”) when speaking at the Ibero-American summit in Santiago. When current Spanish PM Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero sought to defend Mr Aznar (and the Spanish electorate), Mr Chavez repeatedly attempted to interrupt him, prompting [...]

The tyranny of Hugo Chavez takes on new forms. As he’s railroading a new Stalinist constitution through parliament his goons are out attacking university students. If I was W I’d be sorely tempted to take a mighty swing at his regime before leaving office. Compared to a full-blown confrontation with Iran, the negative consequences would [...]
Trudeau’s Cheney

I hadn’t seen him draw Cheney before this week. A touch predictable perhaps, but hilarious nonetheless.

Selling Body Parts
Posted on November 6, 2007 - Filed Under Health, Philosophy, Politics | 1 Comment
I have an essay to write on this matter, so I’m interested to hear other views. Do you think it should be legal to sell body parts such as kidneys to people who are willing to pay for them? On the one hand, people do it anyway on the black market, so legalisation would clean [...]
Sick

So sick I can’t do college work, and I have a doctor’s letter to prove it. I’m at exactly stage 5 on the ICEC, honestly.
Green Populations under Negligent Governments
Posted on November 5, 2007 - Filed Under Environment/Conservation, Politics | 3 Comments
Essentially, most people support carbon taxes and other such measures in order to curb global warming, even though governments across the globe seem to take the view that their citizens are unwilling to go along with such measures. I hate to sound like a red on this green issue, but is this because of corporate [...]
