I like the feature on the blogger homepage where you are shown a list 'blogs of note' in the bottom right-hand frame. The nice thing about this is that the list will be totally different each time even if you only wait a couple of seconds before reloading the page, as there are so many blogs (and so many postings to blogs) going on.
Just for fun (and because it's Friday evening) I clicked on Ethics and Morals for America's Future and found a classic:
"US Christianity is in decline. It has been a major source of the ethics that made the country great. What can and should be done to ensure America's continuing greatness?"
Er... bomb the hell out of as many people in the Middle East as possible? Sorry, cheap shot (well, expensive shot if you're a US taxpayer.)
The guy makes 12 propositions, of which number 10 is certainly right (fundamentalism is not the answer), with at least 2 typos in his first post.
He then says:
"I am not particularly interested in receiving comments (below) criticizing these propositions. If you have significant disagreement with them, please just don't bother to comment."Which may explain why later on he finds himself saying:
"With no comments after 36 hits on this blog, I will initiate response to the issues I have raised."
I didn't find the rest of the discussion interesting enough to comment on although I will continue to monitor the site for developments.
His list of recently read books is quite interesting, though, including Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs & Steel and Collapse and the recent Richard Layard book on happiness. But sadly nothing by Richard Dawkins...
