Fog Hates You

Sure fog’s just a low flying stratus cloud, but that doesn’t stop it from causing 600 fatalities a year and over 15,000 hospitalizations. FOG HATES YOU.

New Orleans actually has the most fog of any US city!

SpaceX is a growing company made specifically for getting humans off Earth and into space. SpaceX founder, "Elon Musk" (who also co-founded Tesla Motors) want's to get humans to other planets eventually. He wants to do this to ensure the survival of humanity and I couldn't agree more with him. At the rate that we are destroying our own planet, humanity won't survive much longer setting in one place. My question is, when we are able to travel to another planet that we deem livable, what if we find other intelligent life? Humanity has a bad habit off fighting and destroying things, what would we do to them? Think ourselves better than them? Drive them to extinction? Or forge an alliance? What do you think would happen?

Well, the religonut Republicans are at it again. In Arizona, Republicans want to pass a bill that would force students to basically recite this upon graduation:

"I, _______, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge these duties; So help me God.

Now, I honestly wouldn't care if this was optional but, it isn't. They want EVERYONE to recite it. All I can think of is, what if you are a Muslim or some other type of religion? What if you're an Atheist? It looks like the right-wing gestapo christians are trying really hard to push their bullshit into politics and if that happens, our country will change. I can imagine the US becoming the next middle east. The people here are so gullible, you can get them to believe anything. I guess that's what happens when parents force their young into church, all-the-while warping their young minds into believing the garbage they push into their skulls. Kids don't know any better and when you grow up living that life, of coarse you're going to think and act like it's right. God does not belong in our public schools. God belongs in church and that is where said "God" needs to say. The amount of stupidity in churches around the world is breath taking and the sheep that follow dance around their lies in circles, always coming back to the bible as their proof. When will they realize that saying the bible is 100% true is like me saying that Beowulf or Gilgamesh, or even Harry fucking Potter is real because it's in a book? I will say this though, if they want god in school, perhaps it should be covered in Mythology. Otherwise, get the fuck out.

Europa is one of the more interesting moons in our solar system, at least to me. It's basically a frozen water-world and may have aquatic life. I wonder when we will go there to take a look?
