Hi, Jennie. As moderator of Kentucky Atheists I wondered why your group hasn't been discussing this issue, since it affects your health and pocketbook.

Experts Challenge Decision to Retrofit Aging Coal-fired Power Plant

Greetings, Jennie! If you're OK with being active here again, I'd like to invite you to a group where we talk about anything on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D

Hi Jennie! I'm Kris - I host the Aussie/Kiwi group here on Nexus. I'm also the media and communications consultant for the forthcoming "Rise of Atheism" Global Atheist Convention to be held in Melbourne in March 2010. The Convention is being organized jointly by Atheist Alliance International and the Atheist Foundation of Australia.

I wonder if you could let your members know that tickets for the convention are now available online at the Convention website. We are expecting nearly 3,000 delegates, so this convention is going to be huge.

Confirmed speakers include: Richard Dawkins, AC Grayling, PZ Myers, Dan Barker, Peter Singer, Taslima Nasrin and many more.

Anything you can do to help us get the word out would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there. Is that Lake Superior as in Sault Ste Marie?

Hello Jennie, I just found this site, sometimes I think I'm the only atheist in the bible belt so its good to find proof that Im not.

hey how you doin hey take a look at my page

Here's a thought:

If the government is so obsessed with spending money on deciding what goes in and/or out of women's bodies, maybe they should just give each women an account with that money so you can decide what it gets used for instead...public health care of sorts.

Why thank you !

I speak my mind...apparently my mind is doing OK :)

We'll just have to be heathens together I guess. :P

It IS a small world - Louisville is a great town to live in. Good luck with the move!

Jennie -

I used to live in Middletown - what part of Louisville do you live in? I have some great memories of Anthonys down by the 2nd street bridge.

Well if things did get well out of hand and a revolution was imminent Canada and/or Mexico might open their borders to refugees, that would be an option (far-fetched but not unrealistic I think).

I guess the old "things have to get worse before they get better" applies. Hang on for the worse and poke fun at what we can in the mean time?

Jennie - Thanks for supporting PZ

Brad

hah! The most amusing bit to me would be how fast things would change once nothing but fundies and hard-core patriot types were left. Theocracy, a few less stars on the flag and further deterioration of anyone else in the world giving a damn would be just the start!

Meanwhile Canada would have more enlightened, educated and hard working minds to help power her politics and economy...*daydreams*

At least we could sit on the sidelines and watch the country eat itself from the inside out, chuckling under our breath ;P

A social revolution in the US would be nothing short of amazing. There seems to be one on the horizon but completely opposite of what we might hope for and that has me a bit pensive. A full militant revolution would be very, very, very ugly. It's hard to imagine how that situation would play out when the smoke cleared.

Oh, most definitely! They've certainly got room for a few hundred thousand (if not more) displaced expatriates but unfortunately I don't think the job market up there, even over time, could support it.

We can still dream though can't we? :)

I'm curious what the political repercussions from the US would be, if any...

I guess all we need now is for Canada to start accepting American political refugees ;P

I wonder how massive the exodus might be if that actually happened.

Most welcome!

I was a huge supporter of Howard Dean, if you remember that whole fiasco. After he got lambasted for saying "woo!" I lost all hope for the process.

The country needs a serious amount of help and I can't see it coming any time soon. Doesn't take much to break something but it takes a heckuva' lot more to put it back together, assuming it's even repairable when the time does come.

Canada looks better and better every time I head up there...

Thanks for your comments and the compliment :)
