Smaller emissions were from tropical South America, north-western America, China, west Africa, Antarctica, and Cape York. No significant emissions were detected from the large coalfields of Europe, Canada, America, Botswana, South Africa, and Australia. Nor were major emissions detected from the b... read more

"There's a reason the public's confidence in the FBI has plummeted"

That's according to Tucker Carlson, who analyzes the FBI's misdeeds and malfeasance in some depth. I *highly* recommend watching the video in full if you can; if you don't have time for that, a partial transcript follows. And here's an excerpt from a partial transcript at Fox News. According to Merrick Garland, the onus is on American citizens to respect the FBI. "Obey, it's your duty." But of course, that's not true. In a democracy, the onus is on the FBI to earn the respect of Americans. They work for you, remember? And lately they have not been doing a very good job an... read more

Leprechauns and the Big Bad Wolf

* Leprechauns and the Big Bad Wolf* The big take home is that the Big Bad Wolf also known as Giant sloth is as real as a wolf, but vastly better at projecting images and blocking your vision.

We have had both in our folk lore going back to the first work that saw these oral tales been written down.

Abolish life sentences

There is actually something here for us. It is that criminal behavior actually ages out at about age thirty and we need to work around just this. I should also mention that some carreer paths accomadate crime but that the established system actually tolerates it all because we likely have nothing better. I do not support any form of capital punishmnet, but do support social exclusion. The British had something when they transported the undisirables to Australia. I do think that transporting to self governed work camps is ample punishment and all can be reviewed at age thirty... read more

This at least calls the established survival meme into question and this has been long overdue. My own ancestry has mainly been about grandfathers living longest. That at least indicates a closer inspection of all those meta stats, rather than accepting the female survival meme. And yes, we are coming out of a long era of male dominant smoking which is likely poorly adjusted for in the stats.

Is Fructose As Addictive and Harmful As Alcohol?

I have understood for some time that our sugar intake is generally bad news. Now we learn that it is worse than that and the different isolate form is likely even addictive. I have paid attention to sugar in my diet for thirty years and generally avoid all processed foods in which fructose is used liberally. That happens to be most. It will take direct regulatory intervention to lower the sugar content of our food industry. the good news is that shifting to stevia works very well.
