On the Cover of the Rolling Stone: More Fake Controversy

"The hashtag #BoycottRollingStone has been trending on Twitter.

   It's a picture. It's an article about where a guy like Dzhokhar Tsarnaev comes from (from what I understand). Nobody has a problem with the content of the article, or at least none that I've yet heard. It's a picture of the guy. But we're a nation of idiots, a "conspiracy of dunces", and we don't read. (Guilty, I know...) Now Rolling Stone is getting boycotted because we're too stupid and lazy to know anything beyond how things look.
  
   The article is about the person behind the bombings. Get over it.
  
   How easily we are distracted.

   We really do deserve a President Palin.

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.

Bad Guys, Good Guys, and Critical Thinking

  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
