Okay guys, I never actually got to read all the way through my friends list backlog from before I took the bar, but now I'm leaving again, for Prague. So... I'll be mostly out of touch again for another 2 weeks.

In the meantime, some choice snippets from the internet:

Hilarious "free-market"-ers on Change.org think that a truly free market, IN THE REAL WORLD, would lead to a world where every commercial good is completely perfect. They also think that we have evolved over "thousands" of years (young-earth Darwinism?), that Obama is a "Marxist," that anyone who doesn't see why they think that must just not have ever heard of Marxism before, that the temperature of coffee is a matter of "opinion," and yearn for the days where people learned true personal responsibility like men, instead of doing wimpy things like wearing helmets when riding bicycles. Yes guys: helmets and personal responsibility. They don't mix. YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE!

Okay, really this is no stupider than a lot of things on the internet, but this is somehow extra amusing because a) it's on Change.org, and b) these people are so sincere, and so dedicated to proving their point!

Also, a friend of mine in Tel Aviv (and a high-school classmate of mine) recently posted a facebook status message about how someone in Tel Aviv opened fire on a GLBT youth center, killing 3 and injuring 11. One of his friends responded:

fucked up news
this is not fkin jerusalem


This comment just says so much.

I am full of envy - I was hoping to go this year but I think surgery bills make that not feasible. If you pass by a Botannicus store sniff the strawberry soap for me. I love that soap. One of my favorite memories of the first time I went was shopping there to get some soaps, and watching this couple. She was very tall and beautiful, and just walked around pointing at things. The dark haired man in expensive leather shoes and nice clothes carried around a basket for her, and filled it up twice over then paid for everything.

I can't even pick a most-fucked-up-thing in this entry. The shooting in Tel Aviv is winning, but the commentary on it...

I know libertarians like those free-marketers. They're total douchebags, and you can't even fight fair with them because they derail the discussion with quibbles over literal meanings of words and try to portray everyone who disagrees with them as stupid.
