There’s an atheist who thinks that Science! can answer moral questions. If you thought there was trouble from people enforcing their concepts of morality because of a religious certainty, just wait until people do it with scientific certainty. Someone could have a rounding error and think the most moral thing to do is strangle puppies in front of orphans.

Yes, I don’t think I’ll trust Science! with my morality; it’s already responsible for too many horrors in this world. Like clamshell packaging.

As part of passing the giant new health care bill, the Democrats were always telling these hard luck stories of how someone got cancer and couldn’t get treated so we had to pass their giant new bill that no one is sure what’s in. Just once, I’d like some Representative to say, “I knew this man, Robert, from my district. He kept hearing on TV all these Congressmen telling their asinine anecdotes of supposed real people as justification by useless nitwits for bloating the government and taking away freedoms, and he became so distraught by it he took a powerdrill to his head. That’s why you all have to stop telling your idiotic stories now. For people like Robert. Or I’ll punch you in the junk.”

I was thinking, wouldn’t a better idea than the Supreme Court be some sort of altar cursed with the angry spirits of the Founding Fathers? If they decided that something Congress did violated their ideals, then they’d attack Congress with their vengeance from beyond the grave, melting their faces. Like after this health care bill, the spirits would murder all in Congress who voted for it, and then we could be like, “Oh, I guess that wasn’t Constitutional; the Founding Fathers really didn’t like that.” Of course, with Rep. Henry Waxman we’d have all these false alarms thinking he had done something unconstitutional and they had started melting his face, but no, that’s just his normal face.

And was there really any use for the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution right when the American government was first made? Couldn’t then most of their work have been done by opening a window and shouting, “Hey, Madison, what did you mean by this?”

If you weren’t depressed enough, here’s an article by Mark Steyn on how the health care bill could be the beginning of the end for the U.S. Is he right? Who knows? America has always been a black swan; there’s nothing we can really compare it to, and everything we do is unique in its own way. Thus, it’s pretty hard to predict what will happen with us. Is Obamacare the ton of rocks that breaks the camel’s back, or is it going to severely harm us like the “Great Society” but we’ll continue to limp along as always?

So what do I predict? I’m going to be optimistic and guess this isn’t going to quite kill us just yet. But it’s going to be a load of fun when the bills come due.

What do you think?
