A Rare Bird, A Strange Duck, One Funky Blog

random thought of the moment:

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. — President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Talk Soup

June 9th, 2004 by Funky Dung

Since I've been listening to quite a bit of Marty Minto lately, I decided to search Google for at-large opinions about him. He doesn't seem to make much of a splash in the blogosphere (not surprising, since his broadcast is local to Pittsburgh), but I did find the following.

Talking the Talk, Driving the Drive
Why I unprogrammed WORD-FM from my car radio

There are two kinds of people one should never argue with. The first is drunks. There's no point in arguing with a drunk. As a paramedic, I found that it was often better to confuse them into doing what I wanted, or jujst call the cops to cuff the intox so that the intox had to do as instructed. The second kind of people one should never argue with are talk-show hosts. They have the control: the off switch.

I have to agree with this blogger that "Unfortunately, it would seem that Mr. Minto has trapped in the materialist culture." However, I disagree that teachings against homosexuality are "based on some New Testament verses that actually refer to pedophiles, not homosexuals."
