Constitution?

The following Democratic senators voted to kowtow to our sovereign ruler, the mighty Emperor W:

Bayh – Carper – Conrad – Feinstein – Innouye – Johnson – Kohl – Landrieu – Lincoln – McCaskill – Mikulski – Nelson (FL) – Nelson (Neb.) – Pryor – Rockefeller – Salazar – Webb.

I would love to live in an America where the government actually was bound to the constitution.

Time to Come Out

I’ve been slowly inching toward this moment for years now. It’s time to finally come out of the closet (at least online – don’t tell my family!).

I am an ontological naturalist. Since most people probably don’t know what that means, I’ll explain. It means I consider the natural world to be all there is. This rules out anything supernatural, including ghosts, spirits, demons, angels, devils, and gods.

I take this view because, as I see it, once something can be proven to exist, it must therefore exist in the natural world. We have no means of empirically testing for the existence of the supernatural; therefore, the supernatural has no meaning for me. I am essentially Ignostic.

I usually find myself aligned more closely with atheistic worldviews than with agnostic ones. And so, in the spirit of solidarity, I shall henceforth wave my freak flag high!

I invite all others in similar situations to come out, too!
