Beware the Current Poly Sci Model

Jack R. Noel September 20, 2023 When I say “poly sci model” I mean the way of thinking among those of us who are interested in politics. I do not mean “one side has it wrong” because all sides have it wrong. …

“We Don’t Deserve This”

Jack R. Noel September 16, 2023 It is common today to see blame-aiming ideologues blaming either “White people” or “Europeans” for “destroying” Native American cultures, which, according to them once had “thriving cultures and human values.” The blame-aiming is what triggered me. On the face of it, this is divisive…

I can confirm the effectiveness of even tiny lasers in temporarily or even permanently blinding people. I was nearly the victim twice - just riding my bicycle around this college town. Once was by a "student" sitting on a roof top purposely trying to shine his little pointer-laser in people's eyes. The other was just after I left the store I worked in then when some imbecile standing outside a dentists office a block away pointed his little pointer laser at my eyes. He was out of pistol range or I'd have shot the bastard.
