I wanted a photo with me and India's 'high speed rail'. I made some kind of mental error thinking that this train would be more like the Ave in Spain or the ICE in Germany. Oh no! It is expr ...

Please notice if you will the No Spitting sign. This sign along with the ones that tell people to obey traffic laws are money wasted on signage.

More On Mediocrity

A few more thoughts, as I watch more people I know accept 2nd best.

Bad therapy teaches us that it is ok to be where you are and to accept it, be ok with it, and is a nicer euphemism for suck it up. Drugs help people cope with their inability to move from a [...]

The catastrophe which recently befell the Jewish people – the massacre of millions of Jews in Europe – was another clear demonstration of the urgency of solving the problem [...]

While going through historical detail on the basis of left vs. right politics and how both have changed in all three locations cause [...]

I maintained that it was fundamentally un-American to allow your neighbors to loose their jobs so that you could have the perception of cheaper [...]

We have continued to allow bug business and wealthy power brokers [...]

What Are You Idiots Teaching Your Kids?

I came across and read a post about 2 kids locked in a court battle over the lost iPod.

Making the rounds in the media this week is the news of two almost-highschool-freshmen girls, both 14-years old, involved in a nasty court battle against each other over… an iPod nano. Or, to be more accurate, [...]
