womzilla has a post about whether the people who say, e.g., that Procter & Gamble is run by Satanists, are stupid, crazy, or lying. (Perhaps George W. Bush scored a trifecta.)

There are those who say we must not use the words stupid and crazy to describe people because it's "ableist." To me that's one of the few ideas that deserve the dread epithet politically correct (as opposed to, e.g., "Black people are no worse than white people," which is simply correct). What I value in people is their minds, which is why I consider people more valuable than animals (yes, even PETAmanes), so while everyone is valuable, I value mean people, stupid people, and boringly crazy people less than people without those traits.

Further thought: Ideally, one might treat the words stupid and crazy like racist, as qualities of ideas and actions, rather than people.

I have an unwholesome love for Postsecret, which I now read via Dreamwidth. The Father's Day secrets are particularly sick.

I read when I'm sitting on the oval throne, and nellorat leaves women's clothing catalogs nearby. I somehow wind up at the underwear section, where I've noticed two things:

1. There is a color known as "Nude." Isn't that the same error as the old "Flesh"-colored crayons?

2. For Richard Dawkins fans: One set of panties is called Assorted Brights.
