What's next in America -- A movement to denounce the theory of gravity because it makes people heavy?

What do you suggest Dan Moellering becuase Jason Howell also has reservation about using it.

I gotta hand it to that Neil deGrasse Tyson Fan Club. That flowchart is pretty darn compelling.

 

Ya know, I dunno. I'm so close to the baby thing that I can't really focus much on how or if we change the intro to the show. It was never an issue until suddenly in the past few months, a handful of people have brought it up. Like Holly M. Paddock said, it's just a throwaway intro to the show. Maybe we'll tweak it or something, but at this point, it's kinda just how the show begins and always has been. I don't think it makes some grand statement about our belief that Android is the be all end all in the world and we're blind to everything else. The content within the show proves otherwise.

 

But yeah, it is somewhat contradictory. When I have a bit more bandwidth in my mind to get creative, maybe I'll change it but for now, it's sticking.

The AAA intro copy never bothered me, nor did I even think about it. There is a difference between having faith and being faithful. When you are being faithful to your spouse or partner is there an implication that there is no real reason for such devotion?

 

I'm no defender of religion, but it's just an expression. ;)
