• I wish the flowers would stop having sex. When I coughed this morning, it felt like somebody shot me in the face. I had to look for Joey to make sure that she wasn't wielding a shotgun, then I had to look in the mirror to confirm that I was still intact.
• Also I can't breathe through my nose at all.
• Work is still busy.
• The lawnmower is just barely working, very sputtery &c. I will have to take the carburetor apart again, but this time actually replace that torn gasket instead of just jiggling it around a little bit.
• So now I have to figure out how to get a replacement gasket. I've never had so much trouble looking through any kind of parts catalog.
• I haven't heard the dehumidifier in a few days. I'm guessing the compressor finally gave out. And just after I fixed the fan with superglue!
• I will make a whirlwind trip to Holland on Sunday to visit mother.
• So I feel overwhelmed.
• halp.

I just don't think something is inherently evil because it was designed with profit in mind.

If that's how you feel, we might as well shut down all the pharmaceuticals right now, so they don't try and profit off any future cures for the good of mankind.

To be fair, a lot of the pharmaceuticals that have a huge benefit to society (penicillin for example, or the polio vaccine) were not developed with profit as a motive, they were developed by academics in academic settings.

A lot of the medications that truly were developed for profit (sayyyyyyy...viagra?) are sort of bullshit that we could do without anyway.

And maybe the Executive at Hallmark really loved his mom and saw an opportunity to celebrate her? We have no way of knowing. Why paint Mothers Day as evil if its original intent is one that is pure and honest and filled with love.. :P

Seriously.. if you're over 40 and can't get a boner, thats your problem! Sexual activity isnt that important to humans, they should read a book or something instead!

Well, sexual activity may be important to humans (as a whole), but I would argue that the sexual activity of gentlemen that can't get a bonar without taking pills is not.

I think youll change your mind on that in two or three decades...

[chucknoblet.livejournal.com]

Probably not. I plan to have fathered at least 30 children by then.
