The Supreme Court has turned away a challenge from a death row inmate in Texas who claimed his constitutional rights were violated by jurors who consulted a Bible during deliberations.
Makers of plastic bags to use 40% recycled content by 2015
Both of these stories bother me. Quite a lot. Dude in prison shouldn't have his life voted on based on people's religious views. If they came to the same conclusion using the evidence, fine. But citing the Bible seems very biased, more than what the required realm of ethics/morals already consists of in a trial. Of course, I don't agree with swearing on the Bible either.
Second story bothers me due to the feeling that it is too little, too late. Walgreens and Home Depot need to work on pushing reusable bags more, not helping make the industry take a baby step. Instead of 40% recycled material, why not 100%? And why will it take them 6 years to get this in place?

the bible should only really be used for making decisions in your own life, and that's only if you think the bible's worth listening to. these dumbfucks that keep trying to rule the world with the bible can go to hell.
What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
