Catharsis

Entry 476, on 2007-02-15 at 15:05:52 (Rating 2, Comments)

There are many things I hear and read about every day that I find upsetting, and they usually involve people showing real stupidly or corruption. One of the reasons I enjoy writing a fairly regular blog is that it often acts as a cathartic mechanism to release these feelings of antagonism.

Read back through this blog and you'll find tirades against whatever happened to be annoying me at the time. Common candidates were: politics, George Bush, religion, big business, superstition, etc.

Sometimes I get so serious about things that I feel the need to create something more permanent and go to the extra trouble of creating a web page on a particular subject. The latest example of this is my "philosophical attacks on evolution" web page, which I just completed this morning. At least, I have created version 1 of this page, because I hope to enhance it in the future.

The URL for this page is: here, so if this interests you I would really like any feedback you want to offer.

I have already started on a tirades against psychics which I hope to add into the skepticism section of my web site soon, so if you enjoy campaigns intended to destroy superstition wherever it exists stay tuned for future installments!
