A new day has fallen and, it's sort of like yesterday. I say fallen because it's now 4:15 and I've yet to accoplish anything of note. Well that's not entirely true. Kitty and I plan to head off to the SAM (Seattle Art Museum) in about 45 minutes. We spendt yesterday afternoon at the Seattle Aquarium. Dragonfish are really cool. Exceptionally cool in fact. Some of the coolest looking animals I've ever seen. Sea otters are very cute, as are sea horses. I can tell that this isn't going anywhere. Let me see, ....something interesting....well, I'm sure you all heard about the legalization of sodomy here in these united states of america. Oooh, I know, Britain got a supreme court last week (or maybe it was the week before). Yes, the old country has finally decided to seperate the judicial and legislative functions. Yeah Tony. Go Tiger. Back to something more personal, last night I decided to look into the history of the KKK. Very interesting, I can't say I've found very many sources that I trust. The first apparently reputable source upon which I stumbled (The Indiana Historical Society) turned out to be obviously biased thanks to the opinions of Mr Bondira, the society's president. A great deal of the information he presents is probably accurate, however he fits it all within his desire to vindicate the original KKK (there are many). At the very least, his bias is obvious. Some of the other sources were equally biased in the opposite direction including at least one ".edu" source (whose bias was not so obvious). I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, many american state schools are far worse than mediocre. I've babbled enough. If any one wants a good laugh (okay, perhaps I shouldn't call this funny), check out some Texas "racialist" websites.
