Blogger's Unknowns

I have a few, or maybe the same one or two that comment here anonymously. That's fine. I may or may not know you from other parts of my life, or my cyber life. It's a mystery. And some (or someone) that have given me a "plus 1" whatever that is in Googleland...I think it's like a "like" in FaceBook, but I'm not sure.

You can clear up the mysteries for me if you like. Or not. Whatever you like. You're still welcome. But I have to wonder...

It's a bit like life. The more info you have, the less is "unknown", but there will always be things you don't know. The smarter you are, the more you care, the harder you work at some of these things, the more you can figure them out. But all of us are left with gaps of knowledge. No matter how smart. No matter how hard you try. If you're like me, a lot of mystery is going to be unresolved. I live with them until they reveal themselves through time, if they do. It's a problem, I guess. "Life is hard. It's harder if you're stupid" Look at me. Quoting the Duke.

Cautionary tales, indeed.

Must be the dreams that woke me this morning. Leaving me in a mu state. Is that an actual term? And how did I pick it up? It feels right.

It's life, I suspect. Nothing is ultimately resolved. Nothing is ultimately revealed. Or maybe it's just me.

This whole mess can be found here. David Betras July 1 at 3:19pm · Youngstown, OH · This is what I found most objectionable in yesterdays decision besides the woman's issue. the Supreme Court found that closely held corporation are equivalent to a person under the constitution. this has far reaching consequences.

Vershire School

http://www.nytimes.com/1989/04/05/us/education-vermont-seeks-tighter-rules-for-prviate-schools.html We made the New York Times http://marthamoxley.com/news/042802gt.htm And our OTHER claim to infamy : Micheal Skakel and the Moxley murder This was one of the places I went to school. A very unique place in a very unique time. Pictured, the dining hall in the main building, "The Lodge", and a few years after the place closed down. For Vershireites with foggy memories (for whatever reasons), or nostalgia: http://web.archive.org/web/20080624190520/http://www.vershireschool.org/ I think Chip Allee put this together, but it's no longer maintained.

Bad Guys, Good Guys, and Critical Thinking

Image
  Bad guys can convince most of a nation that they're the good guys. Happens all the time. It's why we have advertizing, and why TV ads are so powerful. They can lie straight to you and make you believe they're the most honest people on the planet.   The only bulwark against that is critical thinking. Experiment, observation, reason. Not a preacher's authority, not what "feels right".  And, most definitely NOT authority.   We can get the Bush White House telling us Hussein was part of Al Quaida, and that cutting taxes on "job creators" is the route to a strong economy.   BP can run all the ads they want about how they're helping the Gulf come back, but they're doing everything they can to not spend a penny more than they're legally obligated to unless it's in PR dollars. When they do their job right, you almost forget that the damage was due to their criminal negligence.    The Koch brothers can hide all their ads and pr
