Flickrvision

This is kind of interesting.

Yes, I realize I'm just posting links to shit lately. But that's better than nothing. I haven't got much to say lately and my contributors don't seem to pick up any of the slack.

Optical Illusions and Visual Phenomena

Some of these are pretty neat. Some of them give me a headache.

'Hate Crimes' Bill Moving to Full House

I'm sure this makes me a bad liberal, but I just don't get hate crimes legislation. Now, I'm 100% completely and totally in favor of rights for everyone, including any and all minorities, and even "enemy combatants" (though that's another topic). What I don't understand is why a hate crime is any worse than the exact same crime committed for different reasons.

If someone is stabbed or shot or beaten because they are black, a woman, gay, or whatever, that's terrible and I think the person who did it should be punished severely. However, if I get stabbed or shot or beaten, just because someone wants my wallet, or my car or whatever, I think that's just as terrible, and I want the person who did that punished just as harshly as the person in the first case.

I hate to agree with Republicans, so I must be missing something. Someone please explain it to me.

I just thought this was funny.
