“I’ve always wanted to become an astronautical engineer, but I’m horrible at math, but I’ve got lots of passion.  Can this dream be a reality and where can I start?”

“You don’t have to be the best mathematician in your class, you don’t have to be a wiz. It takes all types to do science.  And any stereotype just won’t work.  If you’re interested, do it.”  

- Lawrence Krauss at the Storytelling of Science at ASU

Math is the language of science and the universe.  To be a scientist, you don’t have to be the most articulate and poetic.  You just have to be fluent.

Pope Francis Kidnapping Controversy: Jorge Mario Bergoglio Accused Of Involvement In 1976 Abductions

Argentine Cardinal Named in Kidnap Lawsuit

I’m not saying he did, but there is a lot of talk going on about this already. There ae people coming from all sides, to either say he’s guilty of condeming these two men to imprisonment, or saying he had nothing to do with it.

I’m not sure yet. But these are two of the articles about it for you to read.

Mooglets

inothernews:

• On same-sex marriage: The new pope has called gay marraige “a scheme to destroy God’s plan” and “a real and dire anthropological throwback.” In 2010, he was a vocal opponent of the Argentinian government’s proposed legislation to legalize same-sex marriage.
• On homosexuality: Bergoglio is reportedly “unwaveringly orthodox” on such moral issues.
• On abortion: He has rallied his clergy against the “culture of death” that is the pro-abortion movement.
• On contraceptives: The new pope strongly opposed Argentinian President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner‘s efforts to distribute free contraceptives, likely seeing it as part of the aforementioned “culture of death.”
• On same-sex adoption: Bergoglio has called it a form of discrimination against children.

When people say it’s a stupid, superficial thing to avoid eating at Chik-Fil-A just because you disagree with the politics of the higher-ups, I assume those people don’t realise Chik-Fil-A profits are pumped into organisations that literally support legislation to execute gay people.

When people are actively spreading bigotry, it’s not superficial to take your business elsewhere.
