IWitness in Minneapolis was raided by police, as were many other activist groups planning to protest the RNC. What the hell?
A vaguely similar abuse of power happened at the DNC.
And by the way, why in the world are there only two political parties in the United States? There are 300 million of us, but only two parties. How can anyone manage to be represented?
And please note that in that second article, the Democratic senators were meeting with "VIP political donors." Please don't think the Democrats aren't equally as compromised as the Republicans. Remember that Bill Clinton pardoned Marc Rich.
The decline of fireflies. When we first moved here, our back yard filled with fireflies every evening. I thought I saw one outside my window the other day, but it might have been the reflection of the galaxy of LEDs over there. I haven't seen any others this year.
Global warming strikes again!

Lengthy article on the medical marijuana scene in California. I find this ridiculous for two reasons.
1) The medical marijuana scene seems to lack any real legitimacy. It is run and populated by stoners, with about only about 40% of its consumers (per the above article) having conditions where marijuana is traditionally indicated. The prescription process seems like a weird form of rubber-stamp bureaucracy where borderline physicians collect kickbacks for little to no work.
2) This is a pitiful system anyway. If Jim wants to melt his brain on drugs, I say let Jim do it with whichever drugs he prefers and can afford. It ought to be a free country. We should make it illegal for him to behave irresponsibly behind the wheel or toward other people (especially in the case of children), but no one should stop him from wrecking his own life.
I like the notion that in America, anyone with a little initiative can rise to the top or sink to the bottom as quickly as he or she is able.

Here's a great article about some Baltimore drug dealers using variations of the illegitimate government defense to keep themselves incarcerated indefinitely.

I ran into Darcy tonight at TJ's Pizza. She looks like she's doing well. I was leaving and she was entering so we didn't talk much, but it's good to see her alive and well in Denton.

Must be some sort of epidemic. Looks like Japan wants to try knife control, which will be about as effective as gun control is in this country.

Well I think the solution is more surveillance cameras, more random searches, more data collection, and fewer restrictions on temporary (or permanent) incarceration.
