Ex Mente Mea

It is a sad reality, but it is reality. Most extremist in the spotlight today happen to be of muslim descent, or so the media would have us believe. That being said, if you get on a plane, you are very muslim, and you start discussing strategic seating locations, well people are going to get nervous. Sorry my friends, I mean no offense, but you know its true. So do you inconvenience everyone by saying something, or do you try and be politically correct and take a chance? Thats your choice, these folks chose to speak up. Honestly, given the times, I’m not surprised. Is it wrong, to the muslim folks, yes, I think its wrong, especially if they were cleared. Is it right, yes, to the ones concerned. Now the question is, what’s next? We knew this was coming, as I said, its the sad reality. When members of a group do bad things, the group as a whole suffers. In this case its muslims. Take out the extremists and the problem is solved. Of course easier said than done. Your thoughts?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Muslim family that was ordered off an AirTran Airways flight on New Year’s Day received an apology and refund on Friday from the airline, which said its decision to bar the passengers was necessary.

Take a look at this nonsense. Now I dont think there are many people more into texting, etc than I am. But even so I think this is kind of ridiculous. How can you text, especially on an iphone with gloves? Man these people and their gimmicks! - Arodomus

Is Apple getting into the glove making business? A patent filed by the tech company proposes special gloves for iPhone users that have an extra inner layer which would enable the screen to recognize the touch of a gloved finger. Finally, our frost bitten fingers will find respite within the warmth of these gloves while we text or Tweet away.
According to the patent:
“the glove system may include an inner liner and an outer shell. The liner may be formed from any suitable material, including a material that is thin, electrically conductive, has low thermal conductivity, and/or has an “anti-sticky” finish. The outer shell may include at least one aperture through which the inner liner may extend to operate the input mechanism of an electronic device (e.g., on at least one finger tip). In some embodiments, the aperture may be at a finger tip of the outer shell. In some embodiments, a closing mechanism may be used to maintain the aperture closed when the user is not operating the electronic device. For example, an elastic ring may surround the aperture such that, in its non-deformed state, the aperture is substantially closed. The user may elastically deform the ring to allow the liner to pass through the outer shell.”
Companies file numerous patents of course, and few ever make it to production. Would you buy iGloves if they were available in an Apple Store near you?

I absolutely love this song. It stirs a whirlwind of emotions inside my soul. The Cure just has a way of doing that. Ain’t that right?

Your life is more intertwined with other people’s lives than you realize right now, so don’t think that your actions won’t have domino-like repercussions. The choices you make, from how much eau de cologne to put on in the morning to where you do your grocery shopping, has an impact on other people. So be cautious about where you vent your frustrations — and how you vent them. If small things make a difference, then big things like anger could do a lot of damage.

Geez, now I’m not sure what cologne to wear. Lol.
