Seriously, it’s called an A-D-D-R-E-S-S

FBI cuts through door of a home with a change saw. Lays mother prone on the floor with a gun pointed at her, as her 3 year old cries in the background. Her crime?  Wrong address!!! Seriously, how many times do we need to read this before changes are enacted.  If you can’t read an [...]

Why go to the moon? Mars? Or anywhere?

A lot of controversy has arisen from Newt Gingrich’s call to establish a moon colony. And most seem to deride this as silliness. Is it? If you look at it from an individual perspective, why expend billions when there are people starving right here. But this same argument can be applied in many aspects. Why [...]

Primary Talk: Young chooses old…

Ron Paul repeatedly winning the vote of the younger generations. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/01/31/what-is-so-appealing-about-ron-paul-to-young-voters/ Please understand, in no way do I think Ron Paul is the perfect candidate. I have a few issues with his stances, namely, the fact that I am opposed to state rights. I believe individual rights trump both state and Federal and that the [...]

Hope for Dr. Hawkins & Big Brother

Can you read my mind? How about now?  Can you read me now? We are slowly but progressing to a greater understand of how the human mind works. Such knowledge is a tool. And as any tool it will eventually be used for both good and evil.  I’d wager Dr. Stephen Hawking would be a [...]

Guided bullets hit targets a mile away…

Can we say “Neat”.  “The bullet is still a prototype, but if it passes further testing conducted by a private firm, the bullet will be accessible to recreational shooters, law enforcement and the military.” Two thoughts: a) When can I get my hands on these? b) How long until there are calls to ban them [...]

Snake Season

Florida is suffering a huge loss of wildlife, particularly mammals, from the invasive pythons that have made Florida swamps their home. Up to 99% of some species have been eliminated from the area. Solution? Snake season. It’s something many individuals have pointed to as a solution for certain invasive species. However, opening a hunting season [...]

Will you beat Mitt this tax season?

Tax season will be an interesting one this year. As I have a feeling that people are going to be interested in seeing if they beat Mitt Romney (pay less than 15% in taxes) vs paying more. One thing I am curious about, is whether Romney’s 15% tax return includes his Social Security tax. Why? [...]

IP…We own everything!

Why I oppose intellectual property rights…In its present form In a recent decision a U.K. judge determined that a photo violated the copyright of another for having a similar look and feel. [See discussion at DPReview.com, one of the best sites on the web for digital camera and lens reviews.] But a simple Google search [...]
