If you remember the story about the woman in NYC who left her kid alone on the subway so that he could find his way home, she's back, and she explains herself extremely well.
I remember being among those who thought she was insane, but the more I think about it now, the more I believe she did the right thing, and that her parenting logic is amazing.
That as of June 17th, Anno Goroni 2010, I, Darunia S. Goron, King of Hyrule, Britain, Canada and France, Lord of the Emerald Isles, &tc., *tc., hereby forthwith renounce and withdraw any and all affiliations to the Republican Party, and declare a state of POLITICAL NEUTRALITY, in the absence of there being any one objective and reasonable political party.
The chief irreconciliable catalyst being the professed Christian and pro-religious nature of the Republican party.
BE IT KNOWN ALSO that for the foreseeable future I shall continue to vote Republican, until I find a more suitable party, more in line with my beliefs as an individual.
I still identify as a fiscal conservative, and anti-abortion, while also being anti-religion.
Did anyone see that article, I think it was on CNN.COM, that referenced Turkey? I believe it had "Young Turks," in the header, and it described how western Turkey, "Kemalian" Turkey, the Turkey of Kemal Ataturk, was the pro-Western, pro-Democracy, pro-Secularism... whereas rural Eastern Turkey was the pro-Islamism, bumpkin half.
At any rate, as I know that you all follow world events, you'll know as I do that Turkey is moving further to the right. It is finding more in common with its fellow Islamic countries than it is with its fellow NATO countries.
What I want to say, is that the article called into question a very realistic trend that I have recognized before but never been able to scientifically verify.
The article said that Turkey was moving further to the Islamic right because, the Anatolian Turks (i.e., the rural, backwards, Islamic ones) are out-breeding and out-populating the city-dwelling, secular, western Kemalian Turks. This obviously means that Turkey is sliding backwards in time to it's Ottoman-era state, simply because the majority of the population that is growing the fastest is this naive pro-Islamic population base---the same base that elected this new leader who is suddenly so adamantly anti-Israel.
My point in this article isn't to bring to light this political topic, it's to bring to light the population trend.
Why is it that more-developed, intellectual, intelligent, refined and civilized peoples stop breeding? Whereas, to be frank, dumber, more rural, primitive ones seem to out-breed them?
We know that the native populations in Europe are stagnant and that they are being out-bred at home by immigrants... chiefly Islamic immigrants. And here in the US, while our situation is not so dire as France's or Italy's, we are being outbred and replaced by a nation of Hispanics.
Turkey provides a perfect microcosm for this, because in this case we have both halves of the puzzle in one country.
Why is it that more advanced and intellectual peoples are not prolific breeders? Why are the Kenyans and the Ethiopians and the Anatolian Turks outbreeding the English and the Italians and the Kemalist Turks?
You may cite this as all paranoia and coincidence but I see this as a very realistic trend in human biology. And at the risk of sounding a racist, I find it frightening as a caucasian.
Ya know, I do like the art style, and with a name like that you know it's going to be more upbeat than the last one. However I had a thought. Ya know how the music in newer Zelda games changes it's tone based on the situation, sometimes dynamically like in battles? Yeah, I've been wondering if they could do something like that with the art style. Imagine this bright colorful look for the outdoor world, and then as you descend down into a dank cave the style switches closer to Twilight Princess, and in the dark world it's downright depressing with a charcoal sketch look to it.
