As Julie said at Richert's place, it will end up being a blogger who does it (it was last time too). Problem is when a blogger does it it only get's play in the blogosphere, not in the media -- the media likes to pick and choose what information they lift and not attribute back to blogs. Fischer is divisive and helps with their page views, hence they aren't eager to have a reason to not quote him.

I'll do what I can. I've got a good one for today.

I hope it passes too, it's needed legislation. I just like to point out that the legislature is pro-biz sometimes and pro-consumer others, but they always claim to be pro-biz. I mean, if we don't need to regulate day cares because that could hurt business and it's intrusive, why would they regulate lenders? I mean, what's a child's life compared to someone taking out a $200 payday loan and getting ripped off?

Oh I agree, it's a handsome salary for sending out a daily email and being a pain in the ass of Idaho Legislators. I'd love to see his 990's, would be good reading I'm sure.

It came up last year when he was a' beggin' for funds, I know he pulls down 50k in salary, or at least used to. I'm trying to track down my old emails on the subject, but the IVA is a pretty small organization, much smaller than the media gives them credit for.

Yes, but... I really don't agree with seminary during school hours either, that's something they should save for their own time, not the schools. And I think we all know why certain kids choose to attend seminary...

That's kinda how I approach my situation. I eat pretty much all vegan at home and what I enjoy when we go out. It kinda forces the moderation. I remember when we used to eat steak 1 or 2 times a week, plus sausage, hamburgers... etc... etc. Without having any animal products in the house it makes it harder to consume the things that aren't as good for you. I do miss the in-house cheese though... even more than the in-house meat.

I think learning about the world's religions is a useful glass, akin to learning about the the world's history. I don't think it is wise to teach classes that are indoctrinating, like seminary, just one that teaches "real" history of the world's religions.

I've always thought that a "religious studies" or "history of religion" class should be mandatory for public education, on the high school level. I mean, we can't ignore that religion plays a role in our society. Perhaps if different religions understood where other religions came from and what they believe in then we wouldn't have half the religious problems that we have today. I wish I could have taken a class that explained Christianity, Islam, Mormonism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Native American beliefs, etc... etc... In high school the belief philosophy that I learned about on my own was Taoism -- I still believe in it strongly today. However, I don't exercise it as much as I should, but I realize this. Of course, due to the very nature of people believing that "their" religion should be the "only religion" this will never happen. sign... And yeah, I think it should be taught along side mythology, because essentially, they are the same thing.

Exactly. That's one of the huge problems I have with Republican and Conservative ideology, they only support local control as long as they are in control, if they don't have control they want the next highest body that they control to make decisions.

I won't if you bring me 1, or 2 or 6 back. Always need a good supply of beer-ya-can't-get-here.

Yeah, and it's vegan friendly, so that helps us out with the you-know-who dept.

I hope they don't pass it either, but I really wouldn't hold my breath.

That is indeed a must read. Thanks Eric. (for those of you non-tech inclined you'll need to remove the "url" when you click Eric's link)
