I’ve supported the notion that I think that the world is a much better place when people can communicate with one another. It’s one of the reasons that I blog.

Sometimes, this is a hard philosophy to live with. Creationist knuckledragger Ken Ham has apparently figured out how to use Wordpress and podcast.

I have to console myself with the notion that some will at least listen to him and realize what a collosal dumbass he is.

But it’s hopelessly naive to assume that your employer will act in your best interest. It sometimes happens, and those companies should be treasured, but it surprises me every time it happens. You can’t expect companies to behave ethically or with conscience.
