Shawn's Place

Shawn's Place: Pleasant tasting
I am, so far, liking the tone, tenor, and eclectic feel of Shawn's Place .  Here's a specific:

News from Europe 

A number of sheep in Germany were recently killed. The suspect is a wild bear. These bears have been extinct in Europe for many years, but "conservationists" have been reintroducing the bears in Italy and Spain. One of these bears, similar to a Canadian grizzly, is believed to have crossed the Alps, descended into Germany and is now killing livestock.

Now, what is wrong with this story ...
All of which reminds me of this jerk. Sorry.  Here's another ...

The Dangerous Christian Right 

The Christian Right is obviously a danger, or at least that's what the MSM (Main Stream Media) would have you believe. For example, have a look at this article on Yahoo:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060521/bs_nm/bizfeature_merck_vaccine_dc_1

Merck has come up with a vaccine against a number of sexually transmitted viruses that cause cervical cancer (note that cervical cancer is extremely rare when two virgins marry and are faithful to each other). Some members of the Christian Right have expressed concerns that this vaccine could cause people to think promiscuity is safe. Maybe this is a valid concern, or maybe it isn't. But the real danger is not the Christian Right. I would say the real danger is Merck, who is campaigning to make this vaccination mandatory for children who wish to attend public schools. Yes, you read correctly. While all other mandatory vaccinations are to prevent diseases caused by casual contact, this one is to prevent a sexually transmitted disease. When a vaccine against AIDS is developed, will it be mandatory? Just crazy.

Perhaps if the Europeons re-introduced the self-reliant, freedom-loving strain of the human species (its number having dwindled due to emigration)...

Perhaps they could re-introduce the Bubonic Plague, too. It's virtually extinct.
