Tennessee Senate panel rejects funds to aid infant mortality rate
NASHVILLE — Despite pleas by children’s advocates and testimony that babies will die, Republicans on the state Senate Finance Committee stripped funding for an infant-death reduction initiative that officials say is reducing Memphis and Tennessee’s high rates of infant mortality.

The Illustrated Man - The Highway
When is the end of the world not the end of the world? When you live in a tiny hut by the side of the highway and the only contact you have with the rest of the world is watching the cars as they swish on by.
STFU, Conservatives: Does it pass the Bechdel... →
A lot of people have been talking about the Bechdel test, which has three easy guidelines for movies:
1) It has two or more women in it, with names
2) who talk to each other
3) about something other than a man (specifically, about something other than their relationship with a man)
Shockingly…

The Illustrated Man - The Other Foot
In this story, Mars has been colonized by black people - only black people, and all that were on Earth. They lead a good life away from the bigotry, segregation, lynchings, and all the other ills that were visited upon them back home. Most think they had put it all behind them until word got out that a rocket carrying white people was on its way.
All of a sudden, all the fear, all the anger...

Disappointed Realist: Maturity →
Maturity — this is one of the words that pisses me off more than all the other words that I know. It seems like since there isn’t a true definition of this word, everyone feels like they can create the definition without any discussion about its validity.
Maturity, in a sense, seems to define…

The Illustrated Man - Kaleidoscope
A rocket full of astronauts explodes, leaving its crew to drift to their fates.
In this story, the characters are left to contemplate their respective lives over the hours - days, even - it takes to die in the dark reaches of space. One man screams endlessly in panic. Another talks about how happy his carefree existence made him and how satisfied he is with how he lived his life. The main...

I feel kind of silly asking for a recommendation when I decided on a topic not ten minutes ago, but hey, it doesn’t hurt to ask.

His name was Mohammad...
newfilosofee:
areza:
He was born on July 5th, 1988 in Tehran, Iran. He had two siblings… an older sister [Soraya] and an older brother [Mostafa], and loving parents. But he wasn’t just a cousin to me, he was more like a little brother to me. Unfortunately, his life was cut short on May 22nd, 2010.
I have a lot of good memories of Mohammad. There is one that will always stick out the most to...

The Illustrated Man - The Veldt
In this story, technology has progressed so far that people happily surrender their lives to computers and machinery. Kitchens cook for their families, bathrooms brush people’s teeth and give people baths, and nurseries take over for parents in raising the children.
How much is too much? That is the question posed by this story. Where is the line that separates the technology that helps...

I'm reading Ray Bradbury's "The Illustrated Man"...
I’ve never read any of his work before - even as a Trekkie and BSG fan I’m not really into sci-fi novels - but I can’t stop reading this book. If you’ve never heard of it before, here’s a summary. A man covered with tattoos from the neck down is on a mission to find the woman who tattooed him and kill her. Each of his tattoos comes alive and tells a story, you see,...
