Quizes
What if all this profiling in these innocent quizes was going in to a huge data base dedicated to nefarious social control and oppression to be used during the next occasion of civil unrest to profile and round up potential trouble makers?
What if we didn't live in a free and wonderful society like we do?
Good thing we don't have those problems. -

I don't do quizes.
Usually.
I don't like to be any more abstracted than I already am. -
Drivers of the World, Slow Down!
Driving actually makes me very nervous. Not that I'm a physicist but the physics of mass and velocity combined with the inherent instability of mass automobile transit should make anyone nervous ( Read more... ) -

Well, I'm glad I have my political opinions. Because of them I'm spared the naive disappointment of many Obama supporters as his choices demonstrate less of the "change" and more of the same.

Conservative Driving Me Crazy
A spot on typos
My last post contains some typos. It was composed over a that day, multi-tasked between doing some ceiling sheet rock repair, home office work, organizing in the work room (A room we're using as a work shop to base the many home repairs we're making on this old house-on a beggars budget.) picking up a friend of my son's up to ( Read more... ) -
The Lupoes: "Man upset over job loss kills wife, 5 kids, himself."
Dear Friends, I'm going to interrupt the Conservative Driving series to write otherwise upon an incident noted in today's paper. I'll take up driving again next time I promise.
"Man upset over job loss kills wife, 5 kids, himself." So read the headline. Associated Press. By Thomas Watkins. Jan 28.

Conservative Driving:
Acceleration, Coasting, and Decelerating.
Automobile acceleration uses the most gas, causes the most engine and parts wear, and so is the most expensive and polluting single driving function. Isac Newton's laws of motion and modern study verify this fact. Acceleration behavior is probably the most important deviant ( Read more... )
