The Pollisand in Japan....

In James Alan Gardner's "League of Peoples" Universe, there's a Superior Being called the Pollisand. A member of a species millions of yrs older than ours, it travels, obsessed with one thing, why do normally sentient beings do incredibly stupid things? I thought of this character when hearing the news that a big reason for the Fukushima plant disaster was a worker who was told to refill the deisel tank for the backup generator and appearantly wandered off to do something else and completely forgot about it.
I'm sure the Pollisand would have some snidely worded question for this eejit;>....

Binary....

One of the most ANNOYING discussions, whether in the Het or GLBT communities is the Christianity or Atheism BS. For all my life, I here that is the CHOICE, either Accept Chritianithy or Accept Atheism. As if ALL the myriad forms of Human Spiritual Experiences are non-starters.
I guess I was lucky. Being raised by parents that Beleived that all Churches were True and therefore we went to the one most Dominant to where we we stationed exposed me to so many "1 Tru"s that even as a kid I realised that they were either both or neither. Add in the Greek and Roman ruins of Europe and the middle East and it was easy for me to figure out that They all Existed and "1god" was realistic as "1cereal"(what can I say, I was 10;>).
Still, it does get old that even in a country where not only Wicca and paganism is in Pop culture but you have in most cities Hindu, Buddhist(yes, I know it's not technically polytheistic) and Shinto that folks go for the old Binary argument.

Cheers,
