Sad that “banning” knives doesn’t work.  Any wonder why?  Did we learn nothing from Prohibition!

Never Too Late to Start Eating Healthier
Michael Greger M.D. FACLM  January 16th, 2015  Volume 22

Since many tumors take decades to grow it’s remarkable that cancer risk can so dramatically be reduced– even late in life.

Well, we’ll see if that applies to those of us over seventy.  I’m not sure if I can do it.  It’s hard to overcome a lifetime of pallet training.  Argh!

Apple’s latest strategic blunder with the death of AirPort It’s a pretty standard pattern. If Apple neglects a product line for five-plus years, it’s dead, Jim . And this one, we actually already knew about in 2016 . Still, it’s shockingly dumbfounding that Apple has officially killed off the AirPort product line.

Apple is a shadow of its former self in terms of innovation.  And, other than “planned obsolescence”, it’s behind in other dimensions.

Visualizing The World’s Other ‘Aging’ Problem

Sunday, April 29, 2018

While the world is becoming increasingly aware of the west’s looming (and current) demographic dystopia – solved in its globalist way via immigration and government-dependence – there is another ‘ageing’ problem that is potentially even more catastrophic…

France seizes France.com from man who’s had it since ‘94, so he sues

Sunday, April 29, 2018

Enlarge (credit: Bernard Van Berg / EyeEm ) A French-born American has now sued his home country because, he claims, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has illegally seized a domain that he’s owned since 1994: France.com . In the mid-1990s, Jean-Noël Frydman bought France.com from Web.com and set up a website to serve as a “digital kiosk” for Francophiles and Francophones in the United States.

Olympic Medalist Files Suit Against California Over Bullet Control

Sunday, April 29, 2018

California thought they were onto something. Since they can’t seem to control guns, even though they really keep trying to, they decided to control bullets instead. After all, what could go wrong with that. Well, now the state is staring down the barrel of a lawsuit.

As well they should, this is “back door” prohibition!

Who decides whether your sick child lives or dies? You or the hospital?

Saturday, April 28, 2018

The more power the state takes over health decisions the more we will see of this sort of thing. Make no mistake. For the most part you are not a human in the eyes of the state. At least that is true if you are not powerful. No, you are a number to be managed.

Completely unacceptable that the parents aren’t in control. Sarah Palin was correct about “death panels”!

Shocking video shows the moment an intoxicated driver speeds down a freeway on the wrong side of the road and crashes head on into a young mother, killing her.  

Guillermo Suarez, 31, was seen driving east along the west-bound side of the I-20 Freeway in Duncanville Texas on Saturday when he set off a fatal multi-car crash.

His actions took the life of Amberly McCrae, 23, who left behind her nine-month-old son Jace.

I’ve ranted on this before. As a fat old white guy injineer, why aren’t the ramps “trapped” to get the wrong way drivers?

If parking lots can afford to do it, then why not the Gooferment roads?

What no one’s relative sells them?
