When it comes to the NRC and low doses of radiation.
They are even checking imported tissue holders.
They caution us to be careful sitting near them, as we might get the equivalent of 2 x-rays a day…
Yet there is no check on the scanners that they use in airports at all. Nor on the dosages the TSA personnel get while working.
Interesting, ain’t it?
While I think that the day commemorating his birthday (MLK day) should be on his birthday, not a movable one so that federal and state workers get a 3 day weekend **, the think I want to talk about is this:
What would MLK say about the state of the black culture and the black population today?
What would he think of the fact that more than half of the black population is living off of government handouts?
Of the fact that more than half of the children raised today have no father figure?
What would he think and say about the “Black” leaders today, and what their policies have done to blacks in the US?
Would he think that the black leaders today have destroyed his “dream“? (you can watch it HERE if you wish)
His message was good then. And it is good now. I was raised to believe in what he preached in that speech.
I think he’d be disgusted by what has become of our society in general, and the black society in particular.
**(I mean, seriously, is the reason for the holiday to commemorate the birth of a hero, or who did something impressive…. or to create another day when federal and state “workers” don’t even have to pretend to work in order to collect a paycheck?)
Car crashes, vehicular assault, and ramming others off the road. Movies are one thing, real life something else.
Those scenes are done under very specific conditions, with professionals piloting (generally) modified cars/trucks.
As these homeboys found out Saturday night.
Laws of physics and all that. But I guess you have to go to high school to learn that those laws cannot be broken….not spend your time selling drugs on a street corner.
Darwin is always watching and waiting. He was there when these boys learned things last night.
Via SCC.
So the young man is learning how to live in the wilderness…mentored by the old coot:
“What do I do if I meet a grizzly bear in the woods?” The tenderfoot asks
“Stand your ground. If you run, you’ll only die tired and bleeding….Stand tall and look him in the eye.”
“And if that doesn’t work?” The young man persists
“Throw shit in his face as he charges”
“where am I gonna get shit?” the young man wonders
“It’ll be there when you need it, son”
about the Powers That Be watching and listening.
I wasn’t.
While no one wants to see children with firearms…..:
Think about this:
The kid did a Tweet…About a gun
and Twitter’s software alerted someone @Twitter…Who reviewed the message (and blocked it)
And called the school/police.
Big Brother IS watching you…
Text, Email, etc are just as easy to monitor.
Likely voice as well. Maybe your pictures too…The implications of this can be huge.
Be careful what you email, text and say on any phone. You never know who might be listening/watching.
Srsly.
Oh, and just to keep the Echelon (or Carnivore, or whatever) system well fed:
Thermonuclear
Jihad
guns
Biohazard
AMFO
drugs
explode
etc…
Seems the Courtney doesn’t understand why everyone is laughing at her…and thinks she is a loser….and a nanny stater. Did I mention that her actions make me think she is a loser?
And it makes her feel bad and she might cry.
Her name, just so she can find it via Google, is Courtney Fletcher, 23, of Mt. Lebanon.
Feel free to laugh when reading the comments.
I won a book!
Toldya that you should have entered the Soldiers Angels giveaway!
Could have been you.
Instead it is me…and a whole list of others.
That folks wouldn’t be such assholes with the first snowstorm of the season.
Yet they whine about it. Even though we have been extremely lucky to have had such a warm winter.
They still drive like idiots. (Darwin was very lenient today, IMO) You’d have thought it was really bad or icy or something, not just a few inches of snow. Good thing that I don’t have a 2 MW laser attached to the front of the truck, or I’d have added to the carnage.
And, of course, apparently everyone is making french toast tonight. There are no eggs, milk, or bread available anywhere.(we bought our supplies yesterday)
Sometimes I hate people. Today is one of those times.
You can still get in the game!
The (slightly delayed) Soldiers Angels giveaway is still on!
If you haven’t donated yet, then please do so. It’s not the winning of the prizes, it’s the giving. The prizes are just bonuses!
