Hey, You Asked For It...

[patentdragon]

In Today's Episode... All the pieces are at last in place - including a piece no-one could have predicted - and battle is finally joined...

Development News... There isn't any. Today just went straight down the plughole, pretty much before it really got going. Must find a way out of this kinda thing...

Meanwhile... Oh, this is freakin' rich: Secularism 'means fall in births' - the chief rabbi in the UK says that Europe is "dying" because secular "attacks" on religion by "neo-Darwinism" somehow equate to a reduction in the birth rate...

...and this is bad how, might I ask? The planet is already overpopulated, and that is what's killing the planet, as all those excess humans want food, shelter and energy - and what is religion doing about that? Encouraging people to have MORE children so that the High Priests have all the cannon fodder they need for their next "god"-inspired round of genocide. Oh, and plenty of people to "pray" for the souls of the murdered.

Ideally, the truly enlightened among us could climb aboard our fleet of space-ships, and settle on another world, a world based on civilised reason, whilst the religious nutters battle each other to extinction on the slowly charring remains of our former homeworld. Yeah, like the cockroaches are going to appreciate the heaps of curiously unnaturally-shaped boulders that used to be your holy places...

Here endeth the rant.

In Other News... Oh great - here come the hippunks, looking for another scrap with the police thinly disguised as a "legitimate protest" against the planet-murdering G20... and this time, they're in my home town. I'll just stay at home, if you don't mind, and amuse myself with the news coverage.
