I think they're pretty damned cute.

I disagree.

Yeah, variety IS the spice of life.

Couldn't agree more with that hypocrisy.

Pretty cool and cute subjects, respectively.

What movie?

We've been trying to tell you for a long time that you read too many of
those.

I guess there are a lot of penguin pictures or something?  I sure haven't
noticed.  I can't remember the last penguin picture I saw.

I believe that it is subliminal advertising for Linux taking over
Microsoft.

Black and white penguins are a waste of color film IMHO. <g>

It's always been - I know people around here with drawers full of photos of
Thailand, Europe, Africa, other "exotic" places - but they have ZERO photos
of their home town, which is pretty funny since the area I live in is a
tourist destination.

I guess you might say that tourism is really just a huge photo exchange
scam.  I can just see all the Brits and Germans who visit the beach here
walking past beautiful European architecture without even a thought, let
alone bothering to level a camera in front of the view.  But here they are
snapping like crazy at stuff so ordinary to me that I never even see it. :)

If you believe in Kharma you know where those penguins come from :^)

Where else are they going to go after they drive their Priuses out to
their private aircraft?

CRikey, "Rich", at least for your off topic rants couldn't you learn to
format a simple post properly??

Oh, please.

The entirety of human history is one long unbroken grasping struggle for
mankind to dig up, refine, construct, manufacturer, assemble and
otherwise screw around with natural resources to make our lives more
interesting and comfortable.

And when anyone succeeds in getting to a place where they have the
leisure time to plod 'round the globe noticing things they find
interesting - I'm all for it.

First, it keeps them off the roads around here.

Second, What's wrong with it?

If you think that tendency, or any other mildly hypocritical human
behavior is either ³liberal (or ³conservative for that matter) you're
nuts. It's just human.

Trust me, every ³liberal excess you can think up has a nice (equally
ugly) balancing ³conservative one. (Lets espouse LIMITED government
intrusion into private lives, EXCEPT for gay marriage or whatever -  and
then I want the government to INTRUDE as much as possible!) Sheesh.

In other words, hypocrisy is about as natural to human nature as
breathing.

To get upset about it is futile - unless of course someone is willing to
spend their life trying do everything MUCH more PROPERLY than everyone
else. And that, IMHO just makes them a boring prig.

This is a digital photo newsgroup. Every one of us uses digital cameras
crafted of processed natural resources. Assembled by cheap labor. And
costing many times the living wages of large parts of the planetary
population.

Posting political drivel full of ³buzz phrases that sound like they came
out of an RNC (or a DNC, for that matter) briefing book is a waste of
time.

My two cents anyway.

Most of us have recognized plenty of OTHER reasons to avoid photo magazines
long ago...
...none of which have to do with penguins.
