Welcome to another edition of Wednesday links. As you can see, I have been reading instead of writing. I hope to have some actual original content for you all in the near future. In the meantime, have some links:<\/p>\n
The Discovery Institute feels sorry for my students<\/a> is an excellent smackdown of Intelligent Design and the “cdesign proponentsists” who support it.<\/p>\n Several states are looking into legitimizing Naturopathy through legislation (as opposed to making sure its practitioners know anything about medicine.) Pretty Scary Stuff.<\/a><\/p>\n Fayhan al-Gamdi may actually be punished a little more for the brutal murder and rape of his five year old daughter, Lama. The Saudi royal family is shocked<\/a>! Shocked, I say<\/a>! Even though activist groups are pointing out that this kind of thing<\/a> happens<\/a> all the time<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ben Hardwidge could give these folks a lesson or two. In Confessions Of A Former Misogynist<\/a> he explains his mindset as a proud misogynist and the course of his enlightenment. He likens it to escaping from a religious cult, and I think that’s pretty apt.<\/p>\n And The Curious Case of Reeva Steenkamp’s Boyfriend<\/a> has some food for thought about why we’re so concerned about the perpetrator but not the victim.<\/p>\n In case you’re not tired of women being hurt when they can’t fight back, read this piece<\/a> by Amanda Marcotte about a woman who died in surgery, so we should abolish surgery.<\/p>\n LISTEN TO THIS FROG!!!<\/p>\n
