Critical thinking skills

I've been amusedsaddened by the "No Blood for Oil" bumper stickers. Bumper stickers, that's right, on cars, all of which (that I've seen so far) have been the standard gasoline-burning variety.

Seems to me anyone who can boil down the current situation to such a simple essence would have no problem reaching the logical conclusion that driving a car is inherently evil. Unless, of course, such a conclusion would be personally inconvenient.

COOL!

When I had surgery, my IV line was taped to my forearm.

Today I sat in the sun eating lunch.

Now I have a beautifully clear image of one strip of medical tape, done in mild sunburn. That rectangular area probably lost a little of its outer layer of skin and was thus just a little less protected from the sun today.
