When I first read about South Dakota's new anti-abortion law, I thought about doing a pissy rant. I decided against it because I doubt I could change anybody's mind.

However, I thought I'd share the original Roe v. Wade court decision. Fascinating stuff. Don't forget to read Justice Rehnquist's dissent.

Still, a woman's uterus is not the government's business.

As much as Congress likes to raise a stink, Google and its counterparts will probably do a lot more at undoing censorship in China if they do business there, rather than "taking a stand for democracy" by not doing business there.

Since my day job is building musical instruments, I go through various guitar-related message boards regularly looking for rumors and opinions on the stuff I work on. I only lurk, because I don't believe I'd ever be a decent contributing member to any of those boards, because of one topic that keeps coming up. It's...

Gah...is it too much work for Cartoon Network to show cartoons? First they started showing really crappy live action movies. Now, it's moved on to barely animated shows. There's Zixx on Saturday morning which I can't even bring myself to watch because it reminds me too much of Power Rangers which annoys me. It's live action whith crappy computer animated bits. Then there's Wulan Warriors that just joined the Toonami block. It's some Japanese show that stars dolls that don't have moving mouths or anything. That is not a cartoon! Please put it on another channel!

If I sound too worked up about it, what really annoys me is that great animated shows were cancelled.
