Christian Education
So on the way home from JB I decided to listen to Christian Radio just to give it a whirl and because I was so sick of hearing random officials justify the British spying on Koffi Annan and how it was "normal and accepted foreign policy." One offcial interviewed on NPR actually said that is what the UN was designed for. To allow each of the countries to share information about each other without having to resort to war, so it was perfectly within that vision that the British spied on Koffi Annan.

So anyways, next topic - there was a woman preacher on FM radio, and to tell you the truth she terrified me by reminding me just how fucking scary Christians can be. It started out with her saying "He he sows discord amoung his brethern is an abomination to God." Poor George W.

The scariest part of all of this is when the woman began to brag about how she only had a high school education and yet she preaches to thousands of people each week. The crowd of hundreds started yelling, and clapping, and getting all excited. Then she went on and on about how education isn't all its cracked up to be and about how the wisdom of God is enough. It was so scary to hear the people agreeing and hooting. As thos ethey were so oppressed by their educations. That is what I always imagined Christians to be like, but never spoke of because I figured people would say I was being Christophobic (I just coined that now, Paul 2004.)

This is a classic

This is my visually impaired grandmother looking at enlarged faces of family member's fotos that we scanned in, many whom she hadn't seen in decades or more, enlarged on my laptop. She was very happy as you can tell. It was great to be able to zoom in so close to her mother and siblings in pictures from the 1920-1970s.

We ended up scanning about a hundred pictures and now I have them all digitally captured. It was so neat to digitally capture my grandfather into the computer. he would have loved it. I even got him into my cell phone.
