Commented on Bruce Sterling explains swine flu
'Practical Tips...?' The entire article was egotistical, 'I'm so smart,' useless crap. There was nothing 'useful' in it. Most people in the world do not live in the Bay Area where their water, air, and food are VERY secure. Billions...

Commented on Naked man tasered at Coachella for refusing to wear wizard's robe
This is a classic example of how the police earned the name 'PIG' during the 60s. The only violence was initiated, and executed clumsily, by the stupid and brutal police officers. Coachella is not at the top of the list...

Commented on Podcast memoir: how an idealistic young Mormon missionary threatened to blow up a plane
>Not the most coherent thought process. I can assure you. There is NOTHING about being a Mormon that involves thought.

Commented on Man lands plane on golf course so son wouldn't be late for tennis lesson
Uninformed jabber about situations like this make my bowels loose. I write as a retired airline pilot with about 23,000 flying hours, and 32 years experience. 18 of those years were spent flying in 'bush' operations in Alaska. Any reasonably...
