OK I Got a Little Overwhelmed

There are far far more books, papers, and articles that I want to read than I have time remaining alive. This is the conclusion that a week of clicking my way through Questia's library. I have skimmed books on Evolution, Religion, on (supposed) Anti-Religious Bigotry, secession, curriculum, nuclear war, and topics in twentieth-century world history. I have read newspaper articles, journal papers and magazine articles on each of these subjects and more that I didn't even leave a trail of. I have listened to lectures on Dante, Plato, Ancient Rome, the philosophy's of religion and consciousness. Through each meal I've continued reading two of the books I've got going "The Oxford History of the Twentieth Century" and "Six Memos for the Next Millennium". Yesterday I listened the audiobook of Hitchhiker's Guide. I've listened to lectures driving to work, while reading books on other subjects, while asleep; I'm listening to "Philosophy of the Mind" right now. I've kept up on the Pope's declining health, U.S. "Intelligence" on Iraq WMD's, and I've even read a bit about Terry and the Jackson trial but in both cases against my better judgment. I've been reading my Bible.

This cannot go on. I've got to get organized. I must devise a schedule, a curriculum, a plan. Next week I will take my studies in shorter bursts and write more on my thoughts and conclusions. I will say this for my first week of knowledge acquisition all of this secular reading has made me feel more religious. That fact has brought my utter rejection for all forms of religious fundamentalism. America is besieged by these groups who are united only in their hatred for American ideals. Islamic fundamentalist are attacking our selves and our financial institutions and Christian fundamentalists are attacking our laws. Members of a free society have a duty to fight both of these attacks. I will be back to this subject again. Probably again and again.
