practicality

So, today was intresting in a number of ways. First and foremost, I was surprised at how little political rantage I got from Grace and Emily on the State of the Union. Emily more or less said that Bush was a dumbass, that the way he kept using 'God' and 'God's people' all the time annoyed her, and then proceded to tell me about how Ted Kennedy was rolling his eyes through the whole thing.

Then, during History, Tsu tried to use giraffes to prove that evolution is a lie. He's a nice kid, but he was raised in a strongly religious family, and his views, and that of me, and most of my friends, in fact, don't really coincide...dunno if he actually believes evolution is a lie, or just playing devil's advocate here. However, the side of logic and reason (Me, Alex, Brattin, and Guida) won out. Probably should have asked him about carbon dating, as I have yet to see a fundamentalist explain that and the dinosaurs away ^^

Also, Emily is apparently going to marry the Geico gecko. I have no clue if Geico is all over or not, but they're a car insurance company, with very funny tv ads, a number of which feature this absolutely adorable little gecko.

And now, I shall retire to bed with my printed transcript of the State of the Union address, as I am a horrible US citizen who doesn't pay much attention to politics (although I've been trying more recently), and didn't know it was on last night until this morning ^^
