An expansion of scope

Alright, so I suck at posting regularly. Since my last entry, I've grown ever more disenfranchised with the state of this country. As a result, I feel it necessary to broaden the subjects in which I write about. With my fall semester quickly coming to an end, I hope to be able to post not only more frequently, but also about more issues.

And yes, I'm aware that maybe all of two people will see this.

Seriously?

There have been multiple things I've wanted to blog about but I have grossly underestimated the amount of time needed in trying to comprehend electromagnetism in a condensed 5 week summer session. That being said, here's the latest thing that I find utterly disgusting:

Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Yet another example of our ever decreasing privacy and the seemingly exponential growth of the surveillance state all under the guise of national security. It's almost understandable that this occurred in such a country that has already gone to great lengths to limit speech and expression, but how much longer will it be before we see countries with more "freedoms" demand the same sort of access? Not long.

Vandalism on Billy Graham Parkway

As if we needed yet another example of hypocrisy in the context of religion, a person has felt it necessary to deface a billboard that was recently put up on the Billy Graham Parkway. To whomever did this, I say: Thank you. Thank you for clearly illustrating the intolerance your “faith” has the potential to breed. Thank you for highlighting the ignorance in which your "faith" has the potential to cause. Thank you for revealing your true nature in an utterly juvenile manner. Your action does nothing but inspire us. We are the same homo-sapiens. We breathe the same air. We live on the same pale blue dot. We will never be stopped. Our message will never die.
