Re: All the men getting angry at women for choosing the bear...

When I ride my bike in ordinary suburban traffic, I am more afraid of school buses than I am afraid of meteors. This is not reasonable. Big old T Rex was really scary, and they were all wiped out by a meteor. Very few women have ever encountered a bear. Some have. Some have seen black bears in their...

Re: Here's Some Sound Legal Advice for Anyone Who is Pulled Over a Police Officer....

But what happened to taking the Fifth? Is that driving with an open container? In some traditions the proper response is not STFU, but Please Sir, may I have another? And how does STFU protect you from civil forfeiture? Me, I would prefer the cops beat me than be the victim of civil forfeiture. I do...

Re: Rebels Without a Clue

Tomorrow is the 50th year anniversary of the Kent State Killings. Perhaps the protesting students of today view this a a reminder of what faith in the rightness of one's cause does when confronted by scared people with guns.

"visits your sin on the dog. Makes you a sociopath" Probably. But it also removes the threat to the neighbors chickens.

This is North Dakota, where much of the best pheasant hunting in North America is found. A 14 month old German Wire-Haired Pointer is not a puppy. There is a long tradition that bird hunting dogs will be 'steady to wing and shot' By 14 months, there should have been prior training and experience tha...

Re: Rebels Without a Clue

As far as I can tell, the objective is to end US military support for the nation of Israel. Un happily, I know of no time machine that will get the world back to 1948 to work out the break-up of the British mandate that was Palestine in a different way. I have read of nobody that has a plan to end t...

Re: The God of Spinoza

OK I admit my ignorance. I know nothing about Spinoza. The wikipedia entry looks interesting. Amazon has various editions of a translation that goes back to beginning of last century. Anybody recommend a commentary that might be more recent and in a good public library? What is in Amazon is pricey. ...

Maj Gen'l Sir, you are beating a very dead horse. The poor being (I am not sure Liberty IS a man) is unable to read basic English with any degree of understanding.
