Justice of the peace Keith Bardwell defends refusal to issue marriage license to interracial couple

I found out last night that the judge who refused to give an interracial couple on the grounds that the biracial children will not grow up accepted by blacks or whites, spoke out last night. His comments are in the article linked below. Here is a video from CNN concerning what happened.






I don't get Judge Kieth Bardell. The black man is light-skinned. He is obviously the product of interracial relationships of generations past. What is the difference now? I mean who isn't multi-raical anymore?

Irony of Ironies

There is this great e-mail going around:

After being interviewed by the school administration, the prospective teacher said: 'Let me see if I've got this right.

'You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.

'You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.

'You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.

'You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the final exams.

'You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in English, Spanish or any other language, by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.

'You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.

'You want me to do all this and then you tell me. . . I CAN'T PRAY?

Brennon's Thoughts: In Memory of Jacobus Arminius

On his blog, Brennon has posted a great post summarizing the life of Jacobus Arminius in memory of the 400th anniversary of his death. I found it interesting. Changed how I view Arminius. He certainly was not an idiot and I w9ould like to see his exegesis of John 6:44, Acts 13:48, and Romans 7,8,and 9.

Nazi Concentration Camps (Nuremberg Trial Film) WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT!

The file entitled "Nazi Concentration Camps" was entered as evidence at the 1945 Nuremberg Trials of Hermann Göring, Rudolf Hess, and 22 other Nazi officials at the end of World War II. It presented a stark picture of the atrocities of the Holocaust and ensured than no one would ever doubt the meaning of the charge "crimes against humanity."

NeuroSky MindSet - Brainwave Sensing

I was watching some local news and I came across some awesome news. There is a Silicon Valley based company, NeuroSky, who is marketing a product that allows people to use their brainwaves to control computers! I knew this was coming but I did not know that it would be this soon. They have come far! They have a game where you can use telekinesis (moving objects with your mind) and pyrokinesis (starting and controlling fire) in the game by concentrating and focusing! They even have an application for looking at how music effects your thoughts and emotion through graphical represenation of your brain! The possibilities are endless. This technology could be applied to almost any computer-based industry or process. NeuroSky has even sweetened the deal by providing application interfaces (API) for almost every platform in use today such at PC, Mac, and mobile platforms. And the languages you can use are well-represented in the real world: C, C++, C#, and Java -all of which I have used. One of the best things is that it's inexpensive. For $200, they give you the software and hardware you need. I really need to get in on this. Seems like it would be much fun. I found some video on their YouTube channel that shows the product in action!
