Couple quick things, nothing big...

Once in a while I check out MetaFilter, which is a kind of community weblog...people post links and stories of the day and then discuss them. Today, I found this, talking about adding an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to ban homosexual marriage. Now I'm not going to rant about gay marriage...nothing associated with that is my concern. And I certainly don't want to get into some kind of political discussion...that I just find boring, usually. But I do have a problem with people thinking they can tack on an amendment for whatever cause they want. My feeling is, amendments are for REALLY BIG ISSUES that affect the Constitution and the way our government works (which is what the Constitution outlines). Lowering the voting age to 18, fine. Right to free speech, fine. But I don't think there's anything in there that outlines strict guidelines about marriage, and I don't think it's something we have to change the Constitution over. A federal law of some kind, sure, knock yourself out. I'm just tired of hearing about people wanting to make amendments over trivial (compared to the operation of the government) issues. Who knows, you might end up with another prohibition situation...something that'll just get cancelled out in a few years (not that gay marriage is necessarily one of those things...I'm speaking in general).

And now for something completely different...
Why is Bruce Willis the choice for something's voice? It seems to me whan a male animated character is going to speak for the first time, they get Bruce Willis to do it. I say this because he's the voice of Spike the dog in Rugrats Go Wild (which I only know from seeing the commercial...of COURSE I have no interest in seeing the movie). I know he's done voice work in the past, and what I'm claiming probably isn't true...but I'm too lazy to look it up. He just seems to pop up at weird times doing voice work, I guess.

I think there was something else I was going to mention, but I've forgotten it. Oh well...if I remember, you'll be sure to hear about it ;-)
