Random thoughts on random current events
These are thoughts that, in and of themselves,
are complete, but just don't have enough meat on them to warrant their own
separate blog entries
There's lots of things going on in the world
today. Here are some thoughts on a few of
them.....
Mark Felt has revealed that
he was Deep Throat, the person who guided Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein to the
truth about the Watergate break-in. Irrespective of the level of his
involvement in that event, I do not believe the crime warranted Richard Nixon's
resignation. Period. Felt is alternately portrayed as a hero and a villain,
while in reality he was neither. He was a man whose name wasn't erotic enough,
so he chose a pseudonym that came from a reasonably popular porno movie at the
time.
The Base Realignment and Closure
(BRAC) commission is looking into the closing of some of our military bases
around the country. Savings notwithstanding, is it really a good idea to even
be thinking of closing any bases at a time when our military resources are
already stretched thin, and recruitment is consistently missing projections and
expectations?
Of all of the aspects of
scientific theory that may not be consistent with biblical teaching, why is
evolution so vilified?
Did they really
refer to Eminem as a "mentor" to other rappers during the MTV movie awards this
year?
