Good morning. Our office area took a power hit last night. Things are partially back here at the office.
- Libertarian? Seems to me that someone is confused by thinking anarchy is a libertarian ideal.
- The hear/see/speak no evil crowd and an airline incedent.
- I think it was more complicated than that (replacing ugly with beauty). I think the artistic aesthetic which judged art for its beauty got replaced by one that judged based on emotional and visceral “impact”. I think that is a mistake in approaching art, but one nevertheless which prevails in many circles today.
- What I fail to see is the American left repudiated and rejecting this movement in any public way.
- An anniversary.
- Rationing of medical care.
- Them angry cows.
- OK then, in the view of the left racism (!) is a primary driver of thought. More seriously, I think there is some basic truth to the notion that while the right views the left as naive the left views the right as evil.
- Speaking of which, this is more the reality of what drives the right, the Presidents “clinging to guns, god, and yada yada” is not.
- One of the better remarks on the dogs of war photo essay.
- Mythbusters, and I’ll note that unsuppressed guns as sound effect in movies don’t sound like the real thing … so you shouldn’t expect suppressed ones to do so either?
- Mythbusters of another sort.
