I was reading a website about the beliefs of Baptists this morning. It turns out that I do have one thing in common with them–the belief in adult baptism. Baptism (actually ‘baptism by water’, or ‘psychic initiation’ in Gnosticism) is not meant to be the sprinkling of magic water on babies so that they go …

SF Gate
The city council of Berkeley recently passed a resolution naming the United States Marine Corps “unwanted invaders” (which, I believe, constitutes an act of secession), and granting a weekly parking spot and exemption from noise permits for anti-military protesters.

"A Tragedy"
I just saw a new ad taken out by the American Medical Association citing the number of medically uninsured people in the United States as “a tragedy.” How about the fact that we need medical insurance at all–I think that is the real tragedy. Let’s reform the system to protect physicians against frivolous lawsuits, re-think …

I have sampled them all; allow me to review in descending order of my own preference: The Bard’s Tale:I found a copy of the PS2 version at an Amazon.com subsidiary. This …

Runner’s World Guide to Beginning Running
Well, this is my first book for 2008. The Runner’s World Guide to Beginning Running left me lukewarm; it would more accurately be titled The Runner’s Guide World for Beginning Runners. Although it certainly has excellent information for running programs, the underlying assumption is that running is going to be the formative thrust of the …
