What we have is a system of legalized bribery. Handing a sack of money to a politician isn't "speech." A corporation isn't a "person" either.

The nurses at the hospital where my daughter was born called them "port-wine stains" the faint blotches on her face in the shape of a cross forehead, eyelids, nose, lip. Healthy as can be, beauty marks to me.

Naval cadet Carter was interviewed by the formidable Admiral Rickover about being among the first to command a nuclear sub. Carter ranked 59 out of 820 students. Rickover: "Is this the best you can do?" Carter thought about the time he spent with friends & Rosalind & said, "No." Rickover: "Why not?"

The life of the law isn't logic: it's experience. The felt necessities of the time, its moral & political theories, intuitions of public policy, avowed or unconscious, even its prejudices ... have had a good deal more to do than logic in determining the rules to govern. - Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr

Only a shithole country would let him throw his money around in our politics like he does. He all but bought Trump the job at auction. & then he rampages through the government at will, firing experts & watchdogs, dismissing cases against HIM, etc ... the whole Capitol was too afraid of him to act.

JD Vance on H-1B recipients: "I think 99% of American citizens look at somebody like Elon Musk and say, 'if that person wants to come in and build something great in the US, we support that.' But if you're bringing in an accountant... " It's a lot lower than 99%:

Prejudice is a great time-saver. You can form opinions without having to get the facts. Not being founded on reason, it cannot be removed by argument. - Samuel Johnson

The Qanon Shadam, Jake Angeli-Chansley, is an example of the sort of young men Trump exploits. Reports tell us that he suffers from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, etc ... Life has been a struggle for him with those conditions. Trump tells him the libtards are to blame. Simple.

There's disagreement whether the representation of JUSTICE, a woman holding a scale, should be blindfolded or not. The Greek source, Themis, stood for law & order & had her eyes open watching over society. Later, a blindfold was added to suggest impartiality, objectivity, no favorites.

A misadventure when we went up the Maury Mountains (OR) to find moss agate. Rainy, muddy & slick. Not much loose stuff. The pits looked worked over with serious equipment & we had hammers, chisels. Got stuck miles from nowhere, but managed to escape. Found a fine piece from under a spinning tire.

Visited an interesting mine site years ago in Grand Forks, BC, the Rock Candy Mine. At night, the campers would check out the tailings & cuts for abundant, florescent, glow-in-the-dark material. Colorful rocks. Great slabs of translucent, green fluorite & all sort of crystals, quartz, barite.
