Off the Radar.
Wow- there is so much craziness in the world these days! If the idea for this thread doesn't fly, that's cool with me, but I thought I'd give it a try-- a place to post significant events that are overshadowed by other, more "newsworthy" events (some of which really are, some of which perhaps not so). To start with, here's…

Milo Yinnoppoulos UW event riots
As an open minded independent myself and my girlfriend wanted to see Milo at UW in Seattle this weekend. In line I got to meet a lot of trump supporters who had traveled from all over to see Milo. People grew tired because the line was 4 hours of waiting. They haven't seen anything until they wait in line for the rail at a…

Sandy Hook: I Promise It’s Not Goodbye
I will also put this on the Porch but I maybe thought some here would like to know about this (whether one likes Cornell or not).. http://chriscornell.com/news/detail/san ... t_goodbye/ "A few years ago, Texan fan Rory de la Rosa lost his six-year-old daughter Ainslee to cancer.

Are people generally becoming more rude/ less courteous?
Honest question. I hope the answer is "no". Sadly, however, I'm noticing more and more people (sorry to say, especially younger people) are more and more rude. What led me to ask this is a series of events recently. Here are just a few recent examples: -Yesterday a guy half my age driving a large pickup truck nearly ran me…

Obamacare is a mess
So, the Feds can't pay for the money Obama promised in a law nobody read and now it's being blamed on a responsible Congress who refuse to fill the hole left by the colossal (purposeful) miscalculation by the prior regime? Crazy. As much as it hurts the insurance industry, I hope Congress holds fast and ignores ignorant…

Feeling so Lost- So glad of Stone's Note Today

I'm having a hell of a year on top of it with moving away from a love, and back to California, (where I belong). House I'm in got flooded.. so living in a trailer and learning how to…

Conspiracy Nuts?
After reading some pages from Kabong's thread about explosives in WTC I realized something. Aperantly most of the posters here are very quick to label anyone who believes in conspiracy theories as a "nut". I see that they call them nuts because they believe in things that dont have alot of logic and just dont make any…

Sean Spicer resigns
I finally found a teeny bit of respect for Spicer. I never understood how anyone would want to lie and obfuscate day after day. Huckabee Sanders is even worse. "the president has been quite clear..."

Big Herba - the thread that's not about marijuana
Some interesting information in this article about problems in the vitamin/supplement industry, including labeling inaccuracies and purity/quality issues. That is, of course, in addition to the lack of evidence for efficacy of many of the supplements. Plus I just like the term Big Herba.…

Earth Overshoot Day
Not meaning to bring a cloud over things here but we really would do well to understand what this is, what it is about why it is important and talk about what we can do about it. The math is simple. This can't go on if we want to go on. "Earth Overshoot Day 2016: August 8 As of today, we humans have used as much from…

Let's talk about "flash mobs".
Not long ago, "flash mobs" was a term used describe something that often was very clever and created, like flash art, a sudden dance in the middle of a square, that sort of thing. The term is taking on a new, menacing meaning. It is also described in some quarters as "black teen flash mobs" . Educate me. Is this a mainly…
