Slavery is wrong. Not for moral or ethical purposes. It just fails economically.

Dear God, you reveal yourself as an awful person more and more all the time.

Hopefully I'm not proud of myself for being clever and you all will go "Duh, everybody knows that," but today my mind was wandering and decided to say "our" in Spanish. Of course, since I have only the slightest understanding of Spanish, I got it wrong. "Nostromos" does not mean "our" in Spanish. But it made me think of something. Set Google Translate to "Latin" and popped in "Nostromo" and it says it means "shipmate" in English. Naturally I plugged in "Sulaco" next. Google Translate says that means "sloth." So if Ridley Scott (or the "ALIEN" writer) made a joke, it may have went over James Cameron's (or the "ALIENS" writer's) head.

As far as I remember my Spanish, nosotros is "we" and nuestra is "our". But I didn't know the rest of that about the Alien ship names, so thanks for that.

Is there something, or is there nothing, after death that is?

I lean towards something, but if there's nothing then I guess I'll never know.

Why would there be something?
