EPA website removes climate science site from public view after two decades
Apparently anything that gets in the way of immediate profit is to verboten , no matter the future consequences. Almost every time I look at a news site my stomach does a flip-flop over some new piece of idiocy. Trump and his administration’s world view is totally incomprehensible to me. The best I can figure these people have absolute no social conscience and probably no conscience at all…sick, sick, sick.

Donald Trump has ‘dangerous mental illness’, say psychiatry experts at Yale conference
What a strange pass we have come to in this country. I’m just a lay person in this field, and it has looked to me for a while that being in touch with reality is not one of effingham Trump’s traits.
From the article on http://www.independent.co.uk/us:
“Donald Trump has a “dangerous mental illness” and is not fit to lead the US, a group of psychiatrists has warned during a conference at Yale University.
Mental health experts claimed the President was “paranoid and delusional”, and said it was their “ethical responsibility” to warn the American public about the “dangers” Mr Trump’s psychological state poses to the country.”

BBC article – How Western Civilization Could Collapse
Here is an article I found worth my time to read. An excerpt from the article is chilling.
“That economic stratification may lead to collapse on its own… Under this scenario, elites push society toward instability and eventual collapse by hoarding huge quantities of wealth and resources, and leaving little or none for commoners who vastly outnumber them yet support them with labour. Eventually, the working population crashes because the portion of wealth allocated to them is not enough, followed by collapse of the elites due to the absence of labour.”
Enjoy! http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20170418-how-western-civilisation-could-collapse
The sad part to me is that this is a story that has repeated itself multiples in our history, yet we are not smart enough to learn from it. Or perhaps we do not have the gumption to push against the greedy hoarders and those more interested in the current profit.
Our Dishonest President – Link to LA Time Editorial
It is amazing that one of our major newspapers would be writing an article like this and calling for demonstrations. What is even more amazing is that they are only speaking the truth.
“But if it is to do so, those who oppose the new president’s reckless and heartless agenda must make their voices heard. Protesters must raise their banners. Voters must turn out for elections. Members of Congress — including and especially Republicans — must find the political courage to stand up to Trump. Courts must safeguard the Constitution. State legislators must pass laws to protect their citizens and their policies from federal meddling. All of us who are in the business of holding leaders accountable must redouble our efforts to defend the truth from his cynical assaults.” from the editorial
I always hate saying this, but it is a short read. And it is worth your time.

Trump’s vision for America, as big as…well just let’s say his hands.

A meme, to use the term loosely, going around right now is “Google Smart”, i.e. you are only smart if you have access to a smart phone or computer and you can Google the answer.
I propose another one, “Fox News Dumb”, i.e., the more you watch Fox News, the dumber you become.
The South Will Rise Again?
Last time I went backpacking in rural Missouri, the American flag was everywhere. Unfortunately I have come to view the flying of our national flag more an expression of nationalism than of patriotism. And that scares me.
Last weekend I went backpacking in very rural Arkansas. I say rural. In order to get to the trail-head, I went down several small, paved, county roads, and finally turned on a dirt county road which I followed for miles before turning onto a forest service road. I was officially in the boonies.
I had not noticed driving there Continue reading “The South Will Rise Again?”
