This makes me so :pissed:
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows

And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun

And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

I read the article and the links in some detail as I am involved with education in my job.
Basically what is described there it totally fucked up.
There may be no such thing as objective truth in many historical, social and political events, but the process they describe brings the barbarism of the bear pit to school curricula and to children's minds. Fucking disgusting.

I really never thought I would see the day when right-wing, war-loving Texans would want to remove the man who wrote the most famous fuck-off letter of all time from their nation's history.
I feel as though someone has taken the world I have known for all my years and replaced it with some alternate copy that is very similar, yet not the same, almost like I could go to the Golden Gate Bridge right now and it would be painted blue.
What.
The.
Fuck.

'Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! ..But He loves you.' - George Carlin

I heard about this on AXE and the Non-Prophets the other day. Crazy fucking christian right-wingers trying to skew history and white out the founding principles on which their country is based. And if they succeed, the damage is irrevocable for TEN YEARS! What a headache! Thank fuck I live in Canada.
