The CBC comes to its senses on climate change. I hope that this is a trend.
The Real Crisis In Europe
It’s the demographics, stupid. And unfortunately, we’re only a generation or so behind.
Plea Bargains
Some thoughts on the modern “justice” system. Of course, if everyone demanded their sixth-amendment rights, it could crash the system, and perhaps bring some rationality to the dense thicket of law that has accumulated over the past couple hundred years.
The Russian Moon Mission
I find it hard to take seriously pronouncements of government plans to do something almost two decades from now. That’s a long time, and a lot of things can happen, both technologically and politically, to either accelerate it or put it off even further. I continue to think that the first mission back to the moon will be private, because unlike the government, there are people in that sector who actually want to do it, and they have the resources.
Radical Feminists
Shakers without the furniture.
Yes, at least the Shakers were productive.
The Double Standards Of The New York Times
So what is the message Christians should take from this? That it’s time for them to start threatening to behead people?
Extraterrestrial Real Estate
How will Newt’s prospects affect its value?
Who Wrote The Heartland Memo?
The preponderance of evidence indicates that it was Gleick. That’s certainly the way I’d bet. As commenters note, is this enough to justify a lawsuit?
Space Missions That Never Flew
I probably worked on many of these in my career. They’re the only kind I worked on. And that’s perhaps good, because many of them never should have flown. Not to imply that it was my fault, of course.
For Aging Gamers
The s3x scene from Zelda II. Click it. You know you want to.
