Why learn from history

Last updated on: September 14, 2016 at 8:46 am By Dave Griffey

When we can repeat it instead? I’m often asked if I believe in Climate Change. No, I don’t believe in climate change. I know it’s true. I don’t believe. Science has more than adequately convinced me that the climate is changing just like it always has. Furthermore, science has also shown me that our reliance on science with a blank check at the dawning of the industrial era is one of the main reasons we have this new addition to climate change....

Of daughter’s apartments and racist frogs

Last updated on: September 13, 2016 at 9:37 pm By Dave Griffey

There are certain types of articles I typically ignore (and now as I proceed to not ignore them): This and this. This as well. The last one is simply bait for those who can’t remember back more than three days. Anyone older than 20, or with an active memory, knows full well that the health and age issue was a major talking point in 1984 (Reagan), 1992 (Bush, esp. after his much covered and debated fainting episode in Japan), not so much...

Disqus isn’t working for me right now

Last updated on: September 13, 2016 at 4:16 pm By Dave Griffey

Don’t know why. This is typically one of the times I can take a breather and catch up with some commenting. It looks like it’s working in general, and doesn’t appear that I’ve signed out or anything. I just keep getting strange pictures and error messages each time I submit. I’ll try later. Thanks for the comments, though. I am reading them and plan to respond as soon as I can. Until my much anticipated comeback, please enjoy: One of the first... Read more

The story shouldn’t be about getting threats for expressing an opinion

Last updated on: September 13, 2016 at 11:45 am By Dave Griffey

In almost every case today, when you express an opinion that reaches the public ear, you can expect threats. No matter who you are. Heck, on my own little blog, one of the first comments I banned was someone who made a thinly veiled threat against me. In those early days, before I figured out how difficult it would be to see the threat through, it was pretty creepy. Nonetheless, it made enough of an impact on me that I... Read more

Trump and McCarthy

Last updated on: September 13, 2016 at 7:07 am By Dave Griffey

A tale. In the wake of the 9/11 memorial weekend, an interesting look at Trump, why Trump, and what a Trump era could mean to the important issues of the day. The conclusion of the rather lengthy piece is that among other things, it’s our bumbling, politically driven response to the terror attacks that set the stage for Trump. There are likely many factors. Count me as one of those types who are skeptical about boiling everything down to... Read more

Product name fail

Last updated on: September 12, 2016 at 8:26 pm By Dave Griffey

So my youngest son and I were in the kitchen. I was getting something out of a cupboard. He was looking in the fridge. All of a sudden he asked me, “Daddy, what isn’t real mayonnaise?” I had to pause. Huh? I went around and saw he was looking at a jar of Hellmann’s “Real” Mayonnaise. I absolutely adore children.
