Other Items of Note

I haven't blogged in a while.  I apologize to my devoted readers (I'm pretty sure I know who you are).  So, I have two entries today.  I want to take this opportunity to praise Al Gore.  Gosh I wish he was my president.  He speaks his heart, and he is dedicated to the values I hold dear, tolerance and freedom of thought and spirit.  Tolerance does not mean you cannot oppose the aims and machinations of intolerant zealots.  Tolerance does not mean you cannot demonize the demonic.  Because we believe in inclusion and harmony does not mean we cannot oppose those factions which believe in the opposite--or only believe it within the narrow confines of a species of ideological fascism.
