Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Politics:
Paul Hyde, of the Greenville [SC] News on how universal healthcare isn't nearly as bad as some would have us believe, with statistics.
Computing:
Bonnie, on a case of Internet deception, with serious consequences.
The bad stuff out there is getting even more scary. A CNet article discusses viruses/trojan horses/botnets/etc. sponsored by governments, and coming with a guarantee that they'll be effective, no less. Wow, and ouch!
Literature:
Excerpts from a splendid interview with Connie Willis (nearly five years ago, by Locus magazine) in which she, among other things, says that seeking immortality is a secular religion in North America, and pooh-poohs the idea that you can't find real life in books.
"Fear Not The Compass," from Christianity Today, by Jeffrey Overstreet. Among other things, the article discusses Philip Pullman's agenda in The Golden Compass (and the other two books of the trilogy, and complains that some Christians went way overboard about the Harry Potter books and movies.
A Slate commentator thinks there is too much shopping and other consumerism in Disney's Enchanted .
Christianity:
He Lives asks if the New Testament is anti-semitic.
This week's Christian Carnival is here. For information on these Carnivals, go here.
Thanks for reading! Keep clicking away.
