From the first article I'm curious why "single issue" and "anarchist" are rolled up together with left wing. Is anarchism a left wing ideology? I didn't think it was but I'm willing to be educated. And single issue is as likely to be right wing as left (I'd argue more so as there is far more...

Gods aren't real but religions are and the message of a religion only echoes back to the adherents the things they want to hear. Which is why..... Evangelicals Are Now Rejecting ‘Liberal’ Teachings of Jesus (article is a couple of years old now but this thread reminded me of it)

With the oceans already warming rapidly Mankind says "hey, what if put gigawatt level water heaters right into the ocean?" That should hurry things along a bit. Maybe we could also bury some in glaciers, see if we can't melt them off a little faster.

Both ridiculous and awesome, I'm so in.
