I was telling my husband about this cool article I read: http://www.schneier.com/essay-155.html. I was asking him about the following two scenarios:
There are 600 people. You have two choices:
A. Save 200 people
B. Take a 2/3rds chance that 200 people will live or 2/3rd chance that 600 people will die.
There are 600 people. You have two choices:
A. Kill 400 people
B. Take a 1/3rd chance that 600 live or 2/3rd chance that 600 people will live.
He selected A/B respectively.
HOOK LINE AND SINKER! Both A scenarios are the same thing and ditto for B. So much for being a smarty pants!
I mentioned the 9/11 scenario: Simple solution to avoiding the situation from ever happening again: ground all air traffic. Simple, easy to enforce, and we already did it after 9/11 happened. His response? "It will never happen...My solution is NUKE 'EM. Nuke all Middle Eastern countries."
Not so certain I agree with that but an interesting perspective from a government man.

01/05/08: Righteous Bitch
The more I think about it, the more I am angry. This woman is a bitch. A royal bitch who holds a holier than thou attitude. Isn't this the same "MOTHER" whose son almost poked out my much younger son's eye (resulting in 6 stitches)? Isn't this the same "MOTHER" whose piece of crap, goofy ass son beat the shit out of my poor kid because Goofy Bitch's Son was picking on my niece and my son (who, according to the bitch, has poor parents and needs the prayers of saints to save his soul from our ruination) was defending the sweet girl? This 14 year old kid literally picked up my 8 year old and slammed him, repeatedly to the ground! Where did he get that from? Obviously not her perfectly passive and peaceful bitch of a mother and goof-ass father.
Screw this woman! She's a bitch and what comes around...goes around. I can sit back and watch while her goofy children fail in life because she has over-sheltered them, because she RUINED them, because she was the perfect Catholic who used the F word three times in front of her child and her husband screamed that he wanted to kill us. That's right...KILL US. This statement was told to me FOUR DAYS AFTER I TOOK THE GIRL (with my own child) in the limo. The mother told me calmly that the husband wanted to KILL US.
Nice Catholic. Is taking her kid for a pre-approved joy-ride in a limo at midnight with a 120 second stop in town at a restaurant worthy of death? Do I live in Iraq? If this is the worse thing that happens to the girl, I'm glad it happened with me. But I guarantee you that this chick lied through her teeth and gloried in the attention her mother gave her.
I am who I am. That's all I can say. But at least I'm honest about it.

01/04/08: The Righteous
It's interesting how righteous people can be. In the past few weeks, I have come to grips with what happened and I realize that I am who I am. I have never tried to conform to others ideals and I've always been a bit off the wall. The limo incident was not out of the ordinary but the woman's reaction was. Having known her for 14 years, I can honestly say that she's off her rocker on this one. I've always been known for zany adventures and wildness. When I told her that her daughter was coming home by limo, what the hell did she think? That I was teetotalling at the holiday party? No. DUH....!
Not to mention that she has become the righteous, trying to save my soul. It is a mission for her. And she can sleep well at night knowing that she is a good Catholic...albeit one who threatened to kill me and trespassed in my home.
No. I feel much better about this situation. She can take the higher ground and put on her righteous face. But she will be judged by the very standard by which she judges. What comes around, goes around.
