A few articles...

.. that explain how and why the Radical Religious Right (and their hangers on) keep alleging all those insane things.

They need help

(from a comment to Griff's post)
The burkha-logic of NOM

These all explain a lot about not just the RRR, but many other folks as well. :-(

In other news...

due to continuing problems with system slowdown, I've got my main system running various checks.

At the moment AdAware is in hour 31 of scanning the drives, and has scanned over 2 million files so far (I'm running the full scan)

When it finishes (it's well into the last drive) then I get to run Spybot Search & Destroy.

The wekkly AV check started up in the meantime which is slowing things down considerably.

I'm using a spare box that otherwise mostly gets used by fayanora when she's visiting to check the networked "media server" thingies.

And when the primary box finishes, I get to test *this* box.

Happy 44th!

Tomorrow (May 1st) will be the first day of Anno Societatus XLIV.

Yep 44 years since a certain SF writer and some friends decided to have a Medieval/Fantasy party in her back yard. Which led to the Society for Creative Anachronism.
