Doing well on the LSAT has not shown to be a good indicator as to how someone will perform in law school. However, and do to many factors, 60 percent of minorities will do poorly while only 30 percent of white testers do poorly. So, it may not be the test so to speak, but societal actions that preclude it from being a worthwhile test.

Not even parents, as one need just look around and take note that most may do at least a fair job, some are nearly evil. This holds for the people one meets every day. Life is a combination of choices and unexpected ebents colliding with similar happenings of the many people roaming the Earth.

Judge sides with department; religious firefighter must shave his beard [firefightingnews.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Apr 12, 2019:

You know, I pretty much think people deserve choice in their life- and that guy has choice - find a new job or shave, as per the regulations of work. I would love to smoke some pot, but, can't do it for jobs: F the law, should be legal, but I respect that some jobs you just can't do it. The guy can most likely move, as I would guess there are places out there that don't require shaving. When in the Navy, we could have beards and I had one - so much easier to deal with and a water saver at sea. That said, had we gone to war and there had been a chance of an attack on my ship, much of that beard would have come off. I have read that the new masks will fit tight with beards though.

Reparations are still being talked about because not enough changes have been fully implemented since 1865 through 1868. Remember, the first sitting President to apologize for slavery was Clinton. I don't remember, so I'm asking - did any of the Presidents apologize for the genocide of Natives? Oh yea, Obama did.

Closer to Truth: Mathematics.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Apr 5, 2019:

The idea that mathematics in its abstract is all in the human mind is fine. However, that doesn't stop what is occurring around the universe, or even here on Earth. A rose by any other name, so to speak. Certain birds are going to count out a set amount and other animals understand corresponding amounts. Computers will continue to run using a binary code. Areas of nature will grow and reproduce under the so called Fibonacci sequence. But, back to your major premise, which is mathematics is an abstract: it is, and yet, it is useful, as you say, to help humans explain what is going on around them. Eliminate humans and does the world not continue within the same parameters, however?

How important is farming? [facebook.com]

Beowulfsfriend comments on Apr 5, 2019:

The idea there, in that link, is that farming is a vocation and family run. While many small farms still exist and a large number of people make their livings doing so, the truth is that family owned small farms is dying. Corporate farming produces the vast majority of agricultural products here in the U.S. and in growing numbers worldwide- Canada and Brazil, etc. Yes, of course, we need to eat, etc, but do we need to thank the corporations that put profit over land use and conservation? Sure, I'll support the little guy, however, it is a growing false claim that "farmers" are everything. They are being exterminated by the corporations or are becoming corporations themselves by buying up and expanding. Trump's aid bill money mostly went to corporate farming and not the little guys.
