- Bush made his next SCOTUS nomination. Similar to the first one, I’m left wondering who the person is, and how on Earth can I tell if she is or is not a good nominee.
- Clemson football is an annual effort in self-inflicted pain. Every loss puts me into a funk for the better part of the following week. I think I’d rather get kicked in the nuts, or even get dumped by a girlfriend. As bad as those things can be, I’m smart enough to crawl back looking for more, time after time. Surely I could invest my time in something that is much more worthwhile.
- Seatbelt laws have been on my mind. I no longer accept the “good for society” type arguments that accompany them. The laws are an infringement of freedom. Wide acceptance of laws designed to protect citizens from themselves will ultimately prove to severely limit how we live our lives. The cost of freedom is allowing others to do what they want (within reason), no matter how much you disagree with them.
- I think I’m almost starting to understand some of this php stuff.
- My (still somewhat incomplete) wish list. The holidays are approaching
- I need a digital camera, too. Any suggestions out there? Good storage, some amount of zoom, small size, and low price would be nice. I haven’t looked at any at all. I should really start somewhere.

How do you feel about laws that make you put your small children in seat belts?

After some thought, I’m left believing that those laws shouldn’t be in effect, either. I certainly feel that children are safer under those conditions. However, a ‘if it makes children safer there should be a law’ mentality could lead to all kinds of silliness.
This is certainly tricky because the child isn’t really acting based upon his own volition. But, the care of a child (within reason) is up to his guardians and not the government.
If you want a slightly used 5Meg sony let me know. I was thinking of selling ours and buying a smaller model so that the wife could use it more for work. Right now we probably use the one we have 1 week out of the year.
