I think the global warming hoax is simply more evidence of that.

This is the type of event where those of us who carry concealed are going to have to make the almost instantaneous decision to put a bullet(s) in the perp(s) attacking innocent people with the intent to kill, maim and injure those unfortunate folks.DAN IIInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-86704994756760561002014-09-08T12:47:19.105-04:002014-09-08T12:47:19.105-04:00"Akin to, and largely responsible for the swe..."Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.<br /><br />In this revolution, research has become central, it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.<br /><br />Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.<br /><br />The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present – and is gravely to be regarded.<br /><br />Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite."<br /><br />Dwight Eisenhower, Farewell AddressRoy Lofquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536815900678298041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-22141465672187456912014-09-08T12:28:08.886-04:002014-09-08T12:28:08.886-04:00Declaring oneself homosexual is a pretty big step....Declaring oneself homosexual is a pretty big step...especially when it would be motivated far more by a desire for group-identification than a desire for...you know...sodomy. At some point one's new friends would become confused as to why one was not actually initiating romantic and/or genital relations with anyone of the same sex. And then what does one do? Suffer the shame and embarassment of the poseur? Or get over one's aversions and just do it?<br /><br />Bisexual? Much, much easier. One can go on pursuing relationships exclusively with persons of the sex one actually prefers, more or less indefinitely, without running any risk of being called on it, yet one gets nearly all of the social benefits that would attach to self-identifying as "gay".<br /><br />(Of course, some members of the "gay community" are as aware of this incentive and as skeptical of self-identified bisexuals as I am...but they're not the ones defining the social norms of the broader society and culture, these days.)lelnethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600824544185328505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-4434814050923545542014-09-08T10:42:29.866-04:002014-09-08T10:42:29.866-04:003.

I've long since decided that if I see anyone kicking someone on the ground, the sidearm is coming out because there is clearly imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm. Coma, death, and brain damage are serious risks to the person on the ground.Weetabixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106614092497408546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-50597150571730763172014-09-08T10:20:45.176-04:002014-09-08T10:20:45.176-04:00"Are young persons of normal sexual orientati..."Are young persons of normal sexual orientation choosing to practice homosexual acts? Who are they? What's gotten into them?"<br /><br />Why, yes - yes they are.<br /><br />As you say, not so much the males, but there is an explosion among the younger high school girls here in Post Falls toward lesbianism. It surfaced suddenly about two years ago. It's all openly displayed on their Facebook pages and completely accepted by their peers and, in many cases, their family. <br /><br /> Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562944653624224107noreply@blogger.com
