Some people say it's foolish to worry about soulless creatures overtaking the earth and devouring our brains. I say they've already won.

We Are So Doomed
Read this and tell me aren't doomed as a culture:
http://news.yahoo.com/obama-leaves-god-thanksgiving-speech-riles-critics-173023786.html
Obama "forgets" to thank God in his Thanksgiving speech. He says "God bless" at the end, but he did insufficient obeisance to the almighty sky father, so people are having themselves a freak out.
I don't mind some benign religious references in the public sphere, but not all Americans are Christian or even religious, and Obama is their president, too.
What's more, if you believe that God specifically blesses and curses us in turn, then the Big Guy has some explaining to do.
Maybe if the god-botherers paid more attention to injunction to be our brother's keeper and less to the whole groveling before the altar, we might have more to be thankful for in the first place.
