Still deny that global warming is a religion?

Reading, writing and . . . global warming?A Silicon Valley lawmaker is gaining momentum with a bill that would require “climate change” to be among the science topics that all California public school students are taught.

The measure, by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, also would mandate that future science textbooks approved for California public schools include climate change.

“You can’t have a science curriculum that is relevant and current if it doesn’t deal with the science behind climate change,” Simitian said. “This is a phenomenon of global importance and our kids ought to understand the science behind that phenomenon.”

The state Senate approved the bill, SB 908, Jan. 30 by a 26-13 vote. It heads now to the state Assembly. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has taken numerous actions to reduce global warming, but he has yet to weigh in on Simitian’s bill. Other Republicans in the Capitol, however, are not happy about the proposal.

One Small Step for Gay Science, One Giant Step Back for Gay Rights?

Scientists recently determined how to make gay fruit flies straight, and vice versa. The findings published in Nature Neuroscience this week conjure up disturbing images of big pharma manufacturing drugs that erase homosexual desire while the religious right markets them.

This discovery makes Gary Greenberg’s “Gay By Choice?” published in Mother Jones in September/October 2007 all the more relevant. The gay rights movement has been hoping science would vindicate it for far too long.

But what if science proves that gayness is not an immutable trait, or worse, finds a way to “cure” it? Isn’t it time, as Greenberg argues, “to find reasons other than medical science to insist that people ought to be able to love whom they love”?

If you woke up one morning and looked in the mirror and saw those images above, I’m thinking if there is a pill to keep me from looking like this I’m takin’ it!

I don’t give a shit if someone is gay, but I have never been able to figure out the whole weird circus clown drag queen fetish gay dudes are so fond of.
What part of the gay DNA makes dudes long for ostentatiously tacky outer wear?
Can that be cured? Just askin…
