I love how no one, except the musicians, looks like they're having any fun.

Court Tries to Assert Itself over the Private Life of Citizens

Everyone knows that it is wrong for the government to meddle in the health issues of individuals, so it surprised me to see this statement in an article about a 13-year-old boy being ordered by a court, against his parents will, to undergo treatment for cancer:

Medical ethicists say parents generally have a legal right to make decisions for their children, but there is a limit.

Really? A limit? And how would this limit be defined? Does that mean that a parent's desire, comfort, will, even rights can be trumped by those of another, namely, their child? The parents have a belief, but that belief can be considered to be in opposition to the child's well-being?

Apparently the boy, Daniel, who according to court papers cannot read, is unable to make a decision for himself so the court is doing it's best to protect his rights to liberty and life. Now if only this could be the precedent for the millions of other children whose parents act in ways that endanger the well-being and very lives of those who cannot make choices for themselves.

YouTube Funk

I often search youTube to find a song that I want to hear. More often than not I have to wade through a ton of crappy 'hear me play that song by Coldplay' videos before I find one where the band is actually playing their own song.

If you don't find those videos annoying, it is because you are annoying and you should take that to heart.

If you do find them annoying, you need to check this out, the first video mash-up I have seen that makes worthless YouTuberry worth while:

One for the record books, almost as good as The Band, the Traveling Wilburys' song: Handle With Care.
