Project Reason is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation devoted to spreading scientific knowledge and secular values in society. The foundation draws on the talents of prominent and creative thinkers in a wide range of disciplines to encourage critical thinking and erode the influence of dogmatism, superstition, and bigotry in our world.
This came to mind when I posted the accordion photo (post #20). Also killing so-called weeds - a practice contributing to the spreading dead zones along the coasts.
47. The urge for MORE in the midst of plenty. This encompasses such states of mind as unquenchable desire, creating fantasies of heaven and paradise and the denigration of nature or reality.

55. Picking up after their pet.

58. In-laws. (the difference between an in-law and an outlaw is the outlaw is wanted.)

I was going to make #59 - PLAGIARISM - but then saw Joe Dator’s cartoon in a recent New Yorker:
I really don’t see a human problem with breast implants, sorry smokey.
I was thinking how my cat, for one, would object to being anesthetized while lumps of plastic were inserted under his skin. I suppose one of these days a bulldog will win first prize at the Dog Show, and then there will be a scandal when the judges find out that his jowls have implants. Are implants allowed in the Miss America Contest? What if it turns out that the $5 million-dollar winner of the X-FACTOR contest has vocal-cord implants?
