reasons why i am proud to be a pseudo-australian

i have been meaning to discuss this article for quite a while but, as usual, life and working for The Man have gotten in the way. (alvin purple also stood in my way for a few hours last night, but that was an entirely pleasurable detour as i'm all about campy 70s sex romps). 

my ideas are barely in the blastula phase of development, but i am thinking about somehow molding this proposal into the topic of the research project that will be consuming my life for most of 2008. the link between population control and climate change is certainly politically timely, and i love the idea of tax and carbon credits for contraception. it may turn into a bit more of a philosophical discussion than i'm willing to tackle, and may make me yearn for the simple days when gonorrhea or anal sex were more likely to be the topics of my research, but i think this is an idea that i need to gestate for a bit before deciding whether or not to abort it. 

i need to stop writing before i am tempted to include any more ill-advised puns in this post.
