I concur. Ben Franklin got it wrong when he convinced the states to reject the metric system. There are only two countries in the world that do not use the metric system. Us an one other so small as to defy remembering. I have taught students the metric system for 30 years and our Impetial system just doesn't make sense. Might as well go back to the cubit.

US will cut off aid to Central American countries over asylum seekers | US news | The Guardian

t1nick comments on Mar 30, 2019:

With charity comes interference and manipulation. The US has a long history of interfering in Central American politics and economics. Usually to the detriment of the countries within which they interfered. Between supporting despotic right wing leaders and direct CIA interference in politics in El Salvador (remember the Iran-contra debacle), to forcible monocropping by the big agricultural corporations which destroyed locally economies, the US has a checkered history in Central America. Aide comes with conditions. Often the conditions are based on the political whims of the time and not what is best for the people in that country. Often they are decisions based on somebody who is either related to someone who has a company that has economic intetests down and stand to gain financially, or are paid by lobbyists representing same said corporations.

Chicxulub asteroid impact: Stunning fossils record dinosaurs' demise [bbc.co.uk]

t1nick comments on Mar 30, 2019:

Alvarez, et. al. the first person to put forth the hypothesis of the Chicxulub origin as the demise of the dinosaurs did extensive research worldwide to verify this result. He used the presence of a rare radioactive mineral, iridium, found at the contact zone between the end of the Cretaceous and the Tertiary. Iridium is a by-product if a high energy impact event like Chicxulub. It is found at multiple K-T contact sites. Their are a number of geologists that are re-weighing the ultimate impact attributed to the meteor. They don't deny the event, just assert that its only one of the reasons for the dinosaurs extinction.

Confessions of A Son of the South: Part I As a native white southerner born, raised, and ...

t1nick comments on Mar 28, 2019:

I worked in the South for a year in 1982. Society was still segregated then. Not legally, but culturally. Whites still held all the power and blacks were at their mercy, that is outside of the all black neighborhood and communities. Some equity has occurred and some integration has happened as more blacks become educated and take professional positions. But white privilege still predominates outside of urban centers.

Science has been more evil to us than the benefits it yielded.

t1nick comments on Mar 28, 2019:

I think you are conflating technology with science perhaps. Technology is about making ones daily life easier, not happier. You would think there would be a correlation but there really isn't. More free time offers more time to contemplate what you don't have, what you would like to have, or what your missing out on. As I eluded to on many previous posts, science is not same as technology, and technology is not the same thing as science. Technology borrows from science to advanve their agenda and discoveries. But technology is not constrained by the same rigid guidelines and controls. They should be, but often (not always) do not adhere. Technology is constrained by the bottom line and the market place. The cost/benefit constraint has more influence in the outcome frequently than the scientific controls. Many advancements are couched in a veneer of science, but final decisions are based on economics, not scientific exactitude.

t1nick comments on Mar 23, 2019:

Its similar to why women, minorities, and the economically disadvantaged vote and register Republican. The Republican Party for years has done everything in its power to strip these groups of their rights. their healthcare, and almost all of the opportunities that they have won, hard fought. Yet they still register to vote, and ardently defend Republican policies. It makes no sense. In essence they are helping to prop up a coaltion of mostly white males who only begrudgingly share a modicum of the power and resouces. The Republicans actually work to cut off voter registration for these groups, which would give them an chance at addressing their needs and concerns. They take away programs that assist these communities that would allow them to be a productive, participating member of society. Furthermore, they fight any moves at rehabilitation, instead favoring a lock them up, hide them from society mentality which costs exhorbitant amounts of money. Much more than rehabilitation would cost on a yearly basis. It is incomprehensible why members of these marginalized communities would act to give credibility to an organization that openly and overtly serks to deprive of their basic needs.

Not necessarily Lisa. No indictments withstanding. Mueller is a strict adherent of precedent law. He does not believe that a sitting president can be indicted as per DOJ memo recommendations. It is possible that Mueller could have included a body of indictable charges, as well as charges that did not rise to the level of being indictable. Trump and family are still subject to financial crimes out of the SNYD. Plus there are intelligence investigations still on-going involving Trump.

t1nick comments on Mar 19, 2019:

Science should not reject or asset atheism. The question falls into the realm of religion and has little to do with science. Science is a totally different paradigm and the two are mutually exclusive in my opinion. Just because I do not believe any God or higher being exists now or has ever existe. As a scientist I find no connection with my lack of belief and my science. I have no truck with religion of any sorts and do not figure my beliefs have anything to do with religion.

We're Facing a Global Movement of White Hate

t1nick comments on Mar 18, 2019:

Changing demographics, changing economic circumstances, and poor decisions on the part of blue collar workers regarding their futures has created an environment of fear and panic in the white population of the country. The loss of control and the effect of suddenly being called on their long history of boorish and inappropriate behavior has them back on their heels (their problem not ours). After 500 years of being in control, the fact that this control is eroding is scary to them (buck up buttercups). The disparagement of educational opportunities offered to them has put them in a nonenviable position as society moves on and leaves them behind. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence worldwide. Thier way of dealing with their new status is by hating all those who look different than you. All those that made better decisions than you. All those who worked to better themselves (a paycheck is not the only way to better yourself). And all those that faced overwhelming odds and perservered to came out the other side.
