The News
There is very little news in the news today, it’s mostly advocacy. I propose we drop the term “news” in favor of “advocacy”. After church on Sunday we can sit around the table and read the advocacy paper. During the week when our work is done we can relax in our favorite chair in front of the TV and watch the evening advocacy, as reported by our favorite advocaters.
The word “news” is obsolete. Down the memory hole with it!
The Law of gravitation
Many have gravitated from Left to Right including some prominent names like Milton Friedman and Ronald Reagan. Few go the other way. As we read, be it a book or a blog, we gain new knowledge with each word. This wisdom comes upon us as we read from left to right. When we drive, we stay to the right for veering to the left is known to be quite dangerous.
Then there is this: “If you are not a liberal when you are young, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative when you are old, you have no head”. I am not sure who said that. It may have been anonymous.
Could it be there is a law of gravitation yet undiscovered by science?
Pollution solution
Thomas Sowell, in a column entitled Artificial Stupidity wrote this,
A woman with a petition went among the crowds attending a state fair, asking people to sign her petition demanding the banning of dihydroxymonoxide. She said it was in our lakes and streams, and now it was in our sweat and urine and tears. She collected hundreds of signatures to ban dihydroxymonoxide.
Did you catch it? Di -two parts hydrogen, mono – one part oxygen. Dihydroxymonoxide is water. It was a hoax of course, but she got signatures. I would have asked for donations for research into the replacement of dihydroxymonoxide with all natural and organic liquid essences of corn or grapes.
