I liked this one best!
“We are often told that the Gold Standard will shackle us to the United States. I will deal with that in a moment. I will tell you what it will shackle us to. It will shackle us to reality. For good or for ill, it will shackle us to reality.” – Winston Churchill

No indication how that’s done. Maybe an iphone app?
Clearly, they don’t believe in the Libertarian principle that “the individual owns their own body and can / will put whatever they want into it”.
That’s why all drugs should be “legal”.
People have to bear the results of the choices they make.
After all “they” can’t keep drugs and other stuff out of their prisons. So how do they control a “free” society.
End the “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs”!

Following the advice of Brion McClanahan (i.e., “Think Locally Act Locally”, I actually looked for an equivalent to the Second Amendment, but found some support for the RKBA.
Wonder why we don’t have Constitutional Carry?

I don’t understand how there are “wrong-way crashes” on Interstates?
Why can’t there be those parking lot barriers that are deployed to keep people from driving out without paying?
Argh!

When Apple’s App Store launched in 2008, it was widely hailed as a breakthrough in computing, a “curated experience” that would transform the chaos of locating and assessing software and replace it with a reliable one-stop-shop where every app would come pre-tested and with a trusted seal of approval.
*** and ***
Legislation to stem the tide of Big Tech companies’ abuses, and laws—such as a national consumer privacy bill, an interoperability bill, or a bill making firms liable for data-breaches—would go a long way toward improving the lives of the Internet users held hostage inside the companies’ walled gardens.
But far more important than fixing Big Tech is fixing the Internet: restoring the kind of dynamism that made tech firms responsive to their users for fear of losing them, restoring the dynamic that let tinkerers, co-ops, and nonprofits give every person the power of technological self-determination.

Since the Gooferment has stuck its “camel like” nose into the tent, it screwed up the emerging internet with invisible legal lines.
Until the politicians and bureaucrats fix their “mistake”, innovation will be controlled by Big Tech.
Argh!

Exley’s conclusion deserves repeating: “No aluminum, no AD.” Without aluminum, Alzheimer’s doesn’t develop. That’s not fake news. This research provides conclusive evidence for concern, which means it would be foolish in the extreme to pretend that injecting infants and young children with aluminum-containing vaccines is harmless.

I always seem to be drawn into the vax / anti-vax controversy.
I understand that there is a non-scientific debate about vaccines. Some “celebrities” take a position and I scoff at them. (How does being the modern equivalent of the “Court Jester” entitle you to make pseudo scientific pronouncements?)
That being said the very existence of the Federal National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program puts the “vaccines are harmless” pronouncements in doubt. (Remember Christie Todd Witman’s pronouncement that 9/11 air was safe?)
I have seen the ravages of polio that turned a happy healthy child into a virtual helpless babbling idiot who struggled to make himself understood. (I remember his post-illness goal of someday being a milkman. Yes, they still had such things. And it makes me sad to remember him so many years after his death.) That being said, my family liked up all the children for shots as soon as the vaccine was available. I understand that.
So today, when parents have good-faith concerns, I am sympathetic to their plight. I’d still vaccinate, but I would not have to pick up the “collateral damage” that could result. It may well be playing the odds, but as I always say, “someone wins the Lotto!”. In this case, it’s no prize to win.
I’m blogging about this again in hopes that “we” “We, The Sheeple” can have a reasonable discussion about the “safety issue”. I’d like to see the Gooferment reveal its dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom) about vaccines in a very public manner. Then we’d know once and for all what the true odds of harm are. Is it 1/100, 1/10,000, or 1/1,000,000? Remember with 350M people in the USA, that means somewhere between 3½ million and 350 cases of harm. That’s too wide a variance for my comfort. Then, one has to drill down into some of the differentiating factors (i.e., sex, race, age, region, diet, left-handed versus right-handed). OK, maybe not the “handed-ness that I inserted to lighten up the rant.
I hope that this generates some light; not heat.
