and on a lighter note…

Scan yourself for human viruses you suffer from, and find their cures!
Another great quiz stolen from Muse
You can take the test right here!

Here are my results:
Human Virus Scanner

The virus that have infected you will be show here along with their cures, if known.
Viruses you suffer from:

Junkfood
Eat some real food. Something which you can identify the source of every ingredient, not the point of manufacture.

Industrial
Everyone likes folk. No, really. Maybe you should listen to the Incredible String Band.

Religion
Read “God’s Debris” by Scott Adams (yes, the Dilbert guy)

Brand Names
Having a well-known name doesn’t make it good.

Hippyism
Free love is passe and potentially dangerous, and patchouli smells like cat piss.

Conspiracy Theory
Face it, the elected government is in control. Actually that’s quite scary.

Ultima
If you find one tell us.

Viruses you might suffer from:

USA (60%)
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves! [repeat]

Sci-fi (80%)
Stop wearing the stick-on ears.

Discordia (70%)
Buy a suit. Invest your money. Eat hotdog buns on a friday.

Politics (90%)
Stop caring!

Computer Games (90%)
Stop staring at the screen and get some fresh air. You should see a doctor about the RSI in your thumbs.

Environmentalism (63%)
Consume more stuff! It’s easier to buy new stuff than to recycle.

Prog Rock (60%)
Long hair looks dumb with a bald spot. Listen to CD’s they don’t crackle.

Normally…

Normally I don’t do political posts, other than my own rantings anyway. But lately I’ve been spending some time reflecting on the joys of growing up in the era I was a child in, and on how much the world around us has changed. I’ve been wondering how the children of today will view their own childhood’s one day…
One of the things that makes me the saddest is the loss of trust, trust that adults will look out for children, trust in our system of justice, trust that if you follow the example of the neighborhood police officer that you are dealing with someone good and someone who is fair and just.
This is one of my biggest fears.
