Ignorance indeed. Funny that people automatically assume that Creationism and Science cannot coexist.
Creationism is NOT science. Please point me to a single individual that believes in a recent creation, an earth centered creation, a global flood etc. that doesn't have prior theological commitments.
I'm a Creationist, and I am also a published author in Quantum Physics. Go chew on that for a bit...
"Sabotage". Get a clue.

Being long in the tooth I do all my web development via Perl using my own nice call back templating engine and of course CGI.pm. Nice separation of code and html -neither of the two find themselves in the same file. Once in a while I have to do some repair work for customers in PHP and in horror find the html and code mixed to together with wild abandon and massive uses of global variable and I wonder PHP is so darn popular.
If whole foods was pushing to include their advertising/propaganda into the Health Education school curriculum under the banner of teach the controversy I think you see an equal reaction.
All I can say is, what I reported is not just my own personal experience, but that of every vet I know who uses the VA. I'm sorry that you ran across a set of bad apples, and that they did your father's condition so much damage. And, I'll agree that the psych departments are probably the worst; I needed help from them at one point and I had to fight with the person doing the original write-up to get her to describe my complaints as I told them to her, instead of re-writing them to fit her own pre-conceived ideas. (She simply couldn't understand that I could be unemployed, broke and depressed without being violent and/or suicidal.)
I understand we each have our experiences. Yes the psych departments are the worst.... I didn't really have a problem with the physical medical care side of things. In fact I would agree that the teams assigned to the general medical side generally do a good job.
People need to understand that wars produce causalities and those causalities need to be taken care... sometimes for the rest of their lives. A war is never over until the last person involved dies.
My father was a service connected disabled (both physical and mental) WW2 Vet and I would strongly disagree with this assessment. I took care of him for many years and struggled with the VA - although they did increase his pension towards the end.
The VA psych doctors were compassionless, unprofessional and bottom of the class grade doctors and I would often have to research the drugs they were prescribing and inform them of the side-effects and suitability to his condition. They eventually killed my father by over prescribing drugs like Haldol and other harsh psychotropics.
I don't know about you but I don't want the government "classifying" screwups or incompetence to spare themselves the embarrassment... unfortunately that does happen.
I was hoping someone would point this out. Thanks for links..
Author Steven Wright took this idea and gave it a historical perspective in his book Non-Zero... where the title means that Non-Zero transactions (ie both parties win) have more evolutionary value than Zero transaction (ie predator/prey).
It appears that if anyone posts negative comments and valid points concerning Snowden you better do it as Anonymous or the slashdot hive mind will mod you into the oblivion - as I fully suspect this post will be.
The point is right on, Snowden did reveal information on foreign data collection methods and means. What's up with that? If one thinks the US should dismantle all spying operations your bleeding nuts...
I was a young engineer working for Rockedyne on the SSME at the time and we were the last to know. The announcement over the intercom was that there was a "system failure" on flight 51 and incoming calls were blocked (pre internet day youngsters). I guess they didn't want anyone to panic and go back and edit the turbopump or engine build books that would impede any investigation. We didn't know about the catastrophic failure until people went out for lunch that day.
mankind will suffer badly from the disease of boredom, a disease spreading more widely each year and growing in intensity. This will have serious mental, emotional and sociological consequences, and I dare say that psychiatry will be far and away the most important medical specialty in 2014. The lucky few who can be involved in creative work of any sort will be the true elite of mankind, for they alone will do more than serve a machine - Asimov
I think he is wrong as tools and automation do not limit the ability to do creative work but open up new ways of being creative. If not having tools enhance ones happiness and well being then the stone age would have been the most spiritual era of mankind.
What exactly is spiritual malaise? Not a very precise term. To a fundamentalist Theist it might mean not accepting [insert humanlike god] as your personal Lord and Savior to another it might mean not accepting a human invented god to another it might mean not being materialistic.

I guess because the girl in question used technology to enable her to screwup in a really big way.

WTF is "Rake" and why should anyone care? I gather it's some sort of Ruby thing, but again, why should anyone care?
Because Make sucks...

Are you counting the sock puppets?
I would rather they would use the horizontal real estate to display better post indentation
This is a man the claims humans and dinosaurs coexisted.
Have you *ever* been to Glenn Rose Texas? Dinosaur valley state park? OK, OK, Not proof, but some see it as evidence.
So, you have evidence that they *didn't* coexist?
How do you know? Where you there? Oh right, you are claiming nobody was, so you where not there.
Having fun yet?
Been exposed as fake a long time ago. Perhaps that this "evidence" appears in only in the Bible belt might just be a clue.
I don't see it as a "revolt against change" but a revolt to changes for the sake of change (enter gnome 3 and windows 8 as exhibit A and B).
Geysers vs Extinction Event.... Hmmmm tough decision.
Actually the geyser represent a tiny amount of energy... we could always create fake geysers though :)
Maybe from the US citizens not the the US gov't. Only 10% of funds can come from a government source to eligible for the Lunar X prize.
We need a few hundred of these around the North American Hot Spot before the next time it blows its top.

You are able to express this opinion openly because military force has in the past protected your right to speak freely.

What is Spiritual Malaise to you?
What exactly is spiritual malaise? Not a very precise term. To a fundamentalist Theist it might mean not accepting [insert humanlike god] as your personal Lord and Savior to another it might mean not accepting a human invented god to another it might mean not being materialistic.
Spiritual Malaise is a humpty dumpty phrase.
