Intelligence Resigns
On Friday the g/f and I went to see Flight Plan, that new movie with Jodie Foster and Sean Bean. Good acting, good idea, f'n sucked. I just think it's sad when there just isn't enough of an idea to handle the hour and a half it takes to fill a movie theatre these days.
On the other hand, I rented that new movie Crash. It's a good movie. Seemed like a mix of Magnolia and Traffic. Definately worth watching.
Coffee is definately the nectar of the gods. I honestly don't know what I would do without it.
Now on to the news.
A trial is starting in Philadelphia that should not only embarrass us, but remind us how important it is to think empirically. The Intelligent Design trial is what I'm talking about. It's scary and I'd rather not provide any commentary until the trial is over. Just know that I freaked out of my tiny little mind.
Another thing that scares me? China cracking down on the internet.
How scary is that. How can a country exist in the 21st century with this kind of censorship? Can you imagine having to register with the government if you want to start a blog? I don't want to. The two sad things here is that it shows the shoddy dog and pony show that keeps things running over there. Keeping the people subjugated and using the argument of 'protection'. THAT scares me. Are we anywhere near that? no. No matter what people say about Bush or the Patriot Act, things will never get that bad in the U.S. Thank God.

The rules, issued Sunday by the Ministry of Information Industry and the State Council, China's cabinet, will "standardize the management of news and information" in the country.
