My Two Cents (04/10)

• Public Schooling – NOT:  Yet another reason to not public school my kids – FEAR. 
• Rational but Wrong:  Prosthesis has a nice 7 point post on rationality. 
• Holy Shirt!  The evangelical humor blog Lark News has a store with some funny, if not irreverent shirts.  My favorite?  I love cheeses.
• On the abuse of the term "theocracy" – Who says "thinking liberal" is an oxymoron?  This writer proves the contrary

I’ve written a great deal over the last few years against those who
advocate theocracy; it’s something I feel very strongly about and will
fight to the bitter end to avoid. But I think we
must be careful not to allow that passion to override our intellectual
rigor and cause us to paint with too broad a brush, or to over-apply a
term to those who don’t fit it. Too many on our side of the battle
lines, I think, use those terms too broadly. In particular, I think we
tend to throw it around too casually and stick it on someone for little
reason other than guilt by association.
