Hi! I'm a tech guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS and science of all stripes. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.
I have opinions. So do you. You want to share them with me. I would like to do likewise. Please don't expect a platform for proselytizing that will go unchecked and unchallenged, though. Contact me via the clicky thingies under my banner.
The commenting rules are simple: don't piss me off. This rule has worked for me for a decade; I have never found a need for any other rule, because any other rules leads to rules-lawyering. Just remember --
this is my property, not yours.
It severely irks me to see people politicize events like this. I get that you’re not just a democrat, but that you’re anti-republican, but really, ladies, what in the hell does that have to do with the disasters Japan is facing? Katrina? 52M uninsured? Japan’s nationalized insurance and the people of the New Orleans refusing to evacuate have exactly WHAT bearing on this?
Interesting how this discusses the problems the Japanese government’s having in maintaining the public’s trust in it, and troubles in sending a clear message to reduce snags in coordinating disaster relief efforts. There are a lot of things to be learned from this once it’s over.
