Do you think we'll freeze to death before the jackals get us

Finally, small accomplishments.
For the first time, I feel like I may actually adapt to winter.

To the Media or Politician Doom and Gloomers.

The world is not in bad shape.
Compared to human history over thousand of years.
We are living in the best of human times actually.
I'm not saying we not fucked up--
we are---
There is much we need to work on.
but--
We don't have to worry about guys marching
over the hill, stealing our shit, enslaving, raping, and burning everything down.

Just cause?
 This was everybody for thousands of years of human history.
We currently have the lowest number of active wars--in history....
this includes the insane shit that is going on in the middle east.
From a historic perspective...things are good.

but

Entire industries exist to make us afraid...

Individuals confuse creating fear with leadership.
They want us afraid..we are then easier to herd.

We've been through this before---

It's the same old shit---

When we fear---we do not think.

Do not fall victim to the fear they are trying to create--
Do not become a dick....
Do not become lost in the dark,
do not loose your empathy.
Do not loose yourself...

The new German Federal Counter-Terrorism Police
have a minor design problem with their new uniforms...
They apparently used the Mel Brooks school of fashion...
as a pattern----
Unt whvy ist everyboudy laufing at us?

Somebody is really going to get fired?

This Chinese girl hid out from her parents 
in Internet cafes

for ten years----What--what?
don't these places have a time limit or something?

This mope tried to enrich himself on the sickness of others.

After outrage at insane costs for his company's lifesaving drug--Daraprim
 $750.00---a pill...
 he announced he would drop the price of his
company's drugs.
Surprise--he lied...
of course he lied, because he's him

Just ordered
SPQR a History of Ancient Rome.

Something new!

A friend and I worked out a trade.
It was the perfect Refined Nash equilibrium.
My end was a working
Sharp RB-688AV...

This particular Sharp retailed originally for $750.00, 40 years ago,
it was a favorite of audio-visual departments
for recording,dubbing or play-back.

This particular model has no radio, or battery capability.
This is of no concern to me since recording with this box 
is actually my plan. 

On DVD 

No Escape was excellent!

American Ultra was awesome!!!
Think of the Bourne identity transposed onto a sensitive, stoner,
working in a mini-mart.
We really,really,really enjoyed it...
Laughed our asses off.

professional critics apparently slammed it?

Don't listen to them.

If you occasionally read or check in on my blog
you will have observed, lately that this section has been focusing on
Bernie Sanders for President.
My wife and I are really active Sanders supporters.

I've changed this section so that

any individual reading this
blog might have their first exposure to Bernie Sanders
as a candidate?
I believe that Bernie Sanders as President
is our last best chance at 
allowing us to be....
what we could been.
Support him!
Vote for him!
