Saturday, December 4, 2010. Something New for Halloween: Trick or Flu Sho. October 17, 2010. Perhaps you’ve been sitting on the fence just waiting for that little piece of information that prompts you to become a regular flu shot recipient.

The Rationalist Cafe: August 2013

http://thomas-secrest.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 15, 2013. The Police State vs. The Muslim Brotherhood. The Police State vs. The Muslim Brotherhood. It's not very often that we really have to acknowledge that you don't know who to support in a dispute. We may talk about this kind of thing happening on a theoretical basis, but it just doesn't happen very often. When Christopher Hitchens wrote "How Religion Poisons Everything" he had no idea how completely Egypt was going to prove his point. In recent history there may be no more gla...

The Rationalist Cafe: Freedom From Religion; Freedom from Delusion

http://thomas-secrest.blogspot.com/2015/04/freedom-from-religion.html

Saturday, April 4, 2015. Freedom From Religion; Freedom from Delusion. God's law vs. Democratic law. There is an old saying that "just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean that people aren't out to get you." What if it turned out that biological evolution selected for a type of delusional thinking? We live in two worlds! In one world we use our brains to push the limits of science, medicine and technology to create better conditions for humanity. In the other world we used the latest advances in te...

Wednesday, October 28, 2009. H1N1: Are you at special risk? Step on a scale and find out. How do you know if you’re too fat? You know you’re too fat if whenever you go to the beach, people rush up and start pouring water over you, while others try to drag you back into the ocean. As if obesity didn’t present enough health issues by itself, there is now another one to worry about. The first case of H1N1 in the United States was confirmed on April 15, 2009. By July 10. The same report also suggests that do...

Saturday, December 21, 2013. What is 30 days of your life worth? What is the value of one month of your life? According to the PA state government - $0.00! I recently watched a video. On The Young Turks network that really struck a cord. Since soap and cocaine are rather different chemically, it leads me to ask 2 questions (1) did the cop really. Test the soap (remember it was soap after all) and (2) if he tested the soap and the test identified cocaine, why are they using such a worthless test? Picture ...

http://thomas-secrest.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Saturday, September 12, 2009. Music to Soothe the Savage Beast. Music to Soothe the Savage Beast. Everyone has their own particular taste in music. Some like opera, some rock, some jazz, and others like what appears to be random noise played a very high volume, although I think the technical name is hip hop. I only mention the latter because the person who lives in the flat above mine appears to fall into this category. To soothe – mírnít, uklidnit, utišit. Savage – divoký, neurvalý, krutý. Pronounced &#...
