Entry #1370: Yeah, Right.

Welcome to the Sarcasm Society.

Researchers may have discovered the sarcasm area of the human brain.

So, now there’s no such thing as Limbo. Long-held spiritual beliefs and laws of church teachings simply get tossed aside when it suits the leaders. I guess it’s a good thing that these institutions can (slowly) evolve, but to this outsider it all seems so randomly silly.

We have become a nation of utter cowards, which explains why we have Republicans in power. Here’s a story of a couple of siblings facing felony charges for marking a running club route with flour. Jeebus.

The New Haven story makes me fear for our Nation's ability to think. We're so busy overreacting that we're going to miss the real thing.

Surely once the authorities understood that there was no threat or crime involved they dropped any charges. Am I mistaken? Would they pursue this simply because they are embarrassed at their over reaction? Ashamed of their mistake? I think we're beginning to see the pendulum of "security" panic begin to swing in the other direction (note the judge recently striking down parts of the Patriot Act), and I'll be glad when we're a bit more level headed about these kinds of things.
