Whoever said you can't stop time
California is the 49th state to discontinue the "time lady"... the voice that would tell you what time it is in 10 second intervals. I'm gonna miss that broad...
The last state to offer this service? Nevada... but they're on the way out too as soon as their equipment starts to age as well.
Bye bye time... Hello World!

The big bad do gooders strike again
Anyone shocked that the rush to ease the Rich White Guilt of the western world is causing suffering and additional environmental damage? Everyone who's shocked, go ahead, raise your hands. It'll feel cathartic to admit your failure to anticipate the obvious.

Sillys laws from around the world
The best one of all? Let's hear it for blowjob central, Vermont!
In Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.
Maybe not the inspirational stuff Maddox was looking for, but a good gut laugh is close to inspirational.

Just say no to drugs! And HOW!
I found a picture of Amy Winehouse on the internet. For the love of god! Have you ever seen a more demonstrative before/after pic of anyone in your life?

Our blessing: We live in a place were we can love our mothers and little girls
A quote from this article about the infanticide of female babies in India--due in large part to the sizeable dowries required upon marrige--says it all:
Why pay 50,000 rupees to your new in-laws when you can pay 500 rupees for an abortion?
How sad for the mother highlighted in this story, unable to rejoice at the birth of her precious little girl.
It is stories like these that make me rage when I hear people talk about how awful the United States is, how horrible capitalism is. How horrible Western life is. Yes, how horrible indeed; we love our little baby girls. how horrible.
And if that's not horrible enough, ponder this photograph of a widow in India forced to beg in the streets upon the death of her husband. In many societies in India, a woman whose husband dies is bad luck. They are cast out by the children they raised with all they had, and suffer in loneliness and sadness to the end of their days:
Curse you, Western World, for caring about your baby girls and your widowed mothers.
Curse our cars, our prosperity, our relatively easy life. Curse everything that we have and own; it is evil. Communism, caste systems, poverty... that's the way to make a better life for women and children. I see that now.
