After our outing to The Producers last night, I've been thinking about how rude people are these days and how they accomplish their rudeness.
All sorts of things happened that were rude while we were in the theater. It's funny how I can go to the show unshaved and in jeans when I'm surrounded by fur coats and ties, but I've still got better manners than many of the idiots in the audience.
A couple of news items crossed my screen today that I thought I might comment on.
This year, MoveOn sponsored a contest for someone to make a commercial that could "engage and enlighten viewers and help them understand the truth about George Bush." I suggest you check out the site, since the winners are up and they are very nice pieces of amateur work.

This codec should come with every motion-capable digital camera. It lets you use your digital camera videos within video editing software, which can usually only read the audio from the file and not the video. http://www.morgan-multimedia.com
I've started taking a philosophy class over at West Chester. It's an intro class, and I think I'm supposed to feel out of my league, but not because of the course material.
The instructor, Professor Larry Udell, seems reasonably competent in teaching the subject of philosophy. In fact, I get the feeling that I would kind of like this guy. He seems pretty techie - just enough to get himself in trouble. I'm glad he's the instructor and that he is so well learned in philosophy, because otherwise I would be stuck. No, my problem with philosophy - and in particular this class - is actually the students in it.
