Ridiculous parents don't vaccinate children

(I found this draft post from 2008 in my blogger account, and decided to go ahead and post it because of the recent measles outbreaks.)

I can barely contain my vitriol for parents who don't vaccinate their children despite all scientific evidence that vaccines save lives. I was frankly surprised when parents voluntarily discussed their choice to not vaccinate in a recent article in the New York Times outlining parents who don't vaccinate their children. Such stupid and selfish decisions should be met with derision. 

Spock

Today we lost Spock.

Spock was a hero. Maybe to every scientist/engineer, but certainly to me. He represented logic and reason and rationality, in an increasingly irrational world.

A child of the 80s, I never really loved the original series, preferring the refined Picard to the gregarious Kirk. But I loved Spock the most of all characters. His appearance in Unification made me ecstatic, as well as seeing him in the new movies.

Quinto, you've big shoes to fill.
