Whoops....

I forgot to post this yesterday...

Well, here, I added a few links, and now you can have it late for yesterday/early for today.

I'm off to study some math. For fun. Or...something.

Sympathy for the Devil

Image
This morning, I had a talk with my 8 year old daughter, Swicky, about systemic racism, the militarization of the police, and how ordinary evil really is. I woke up with Sympathy for the Devil running through my head, and it made more sense than ever.   I am sad for Ferguson. I am disgusted by those who take the Grand Jury's decision not to indict Darren Wilson as proof that he was justified in gunning down an unarmed teen (and, therefore, Mike Brown's guilt of something worthy of the death penalty without charges or trial). I am also disgusted by those who condemn the protesters - particularly those who are lashing out in violence. That one's the hardest to explain to people. But, yes, I understand the violence, even though I don't condone it. I understand the burning, the destruction, and the looting.

The  Tennessee Justice Center  had an excellent response to  Chaffetz's assertion  that people just needed to choose health care over a new iPhone.

Yeah, I don't know whether to laugh or cry - or consult my physician for anti-nausea meds....

Mondays. Why? And Other Musings. Also Links.

I got up early, and had plenty of time to get ready and get to work. I got here ten minutes early, in fact - where I discovered that I was actually supposed to open this morning, and was, technically, twenty minutes late. I hate Mondays. I did actually get all the usual opening procedures done in ten minutes, leaving me breathless and frazzled by the time the doors opened and patrons came in. And I'm sure that's how my day will continue. Fun times! I still don't have a mouse, but I'm writing a post, anyway, because this is important, guys. There's this app that promises to help you increase your reading speed. Here's what the site has to say: Reading is inherently time consuming because your eyes have to move from word to word and line to line. Traditional reading also consumes huge amounts of physical space on a page or screen, which limits reading effectiveness on small displays. Scrolling, pinching, and resizing a reading area doesn’t fix the pro...
