More Dumb News to Think About

Variety - Neil Patrick Harris, Harvey Weinstein, Bryan Cranston Lobby for Broadway Tax Incentive. Tax breaks are the least capitalistic thing that the government does. Do we really need to give people a tax break of $15 million to put on Broadway shows and why are we giving this tax break to people who make movies?

Yahoo - New York Times - Tech Firms May Find No-Poaching Pacts Costly. Steve Jobs was not a capitalist, he was a cheap, selfish, self absorbed jerk. In addition to sending 1 million jobs over to Communist China (where numerous "employees" committed suicide because they couldn't take working for Apple), he was also making illegal agreements with others in the tech industry to prevent his American employees from working for other tech companies.

BBC - The people with ‘animal powers’. Another article about how it is okay for humans to become animals. This is not science fiction, this is now and it is evil. It is man attempting to become his own God and only becoming less than we were created.

Huffington Post - Getting Walmart Workers Off Food Stamps Would Cost Customers Barely Anything. Pretty much the same numbers I arrived at when I wrote a post about this months ago.

Huffington Post - 'Gospel of Jesus' Wife' Papyrus Is Ancient, Not Fake, Scientists And Scholars Say. Simply put, they found document fragments that were written 600 to 800 years after Jesus died that claimed he had a wife. The researcher involved determined that the fragments were in fact from 600 to 800 after the death of Jesus and said that they were not "forgeries". She did not claim that they were true; but, that is the impression that the media would like you to take. There is a reason the bible was put together and that was so that the churches that had been visited by the apostles could show the letters and writings that they had been given by the apostles to be consistent and have a history. The apostles sent letters to the churches at the time that Jesus died as the word spread and these churches treasured the letters and could attest to the fact that Paul or Peter was known by them, that they knew the letters were authentic, that is not true for "The Gospel of Mary". I am continually fascinated by the stupidity that will claim that Jesus did not exist and was married, pick one or the other.
