Unitarian Extension Movement's forum on climate change, species deaths and alternative technology last Sunday was excellent. Most appropriately the following day had a wonderful opportunity to slap-down some serious idiocy courtesy of the von Mises Institute. It really was like shooting fish in a barrel. Climate change was also a media feature this week with recognition that extremes will affect Australia, and especially Victoria.

A couple of days ago my flist seemed to in celebration over the demise of Jerry Fawell. His apocalyptic beliefs, and hatred of secular liberalism and abhorrent theology certainly generates little sympathy from this corner of livejournal. Rather appropriately, [livejournal.com profile] nom_de_grr plays Godwin's and challenges us to find the differences (in speech) between Fawell and Hitler. The key point: both are people who sought not to keep their theological beliefs to their own lives, but rather to impose them on others. Appropriately [livejournal.com profile] angel80 links to North Korea's Juche as a religion.

Monte Cook makes some very good comments about Dragon and the state of D&D. On Sunday ran the first session of Stormbringer's Rogue Mistress which is just great. Also have completed a further two scenes for the HeroQuest Glorantha epic.

Best title goes to [livejournal.com profile] reddragdiva. Science proves that trolls really are a bunch of dicks. Mightily impressed by [livejournal.com profile] beagl linking the free LP for a compilation of New Zealand undergound music (yes, I've been looking at properties in Dunedin again). Do you have ten favourite movies? List them on slipjig's survey.
