The continuation of the commute from hell...

So the other day there was the suicide and the earthquake and all that. After I got off of the train that night I rode my bike home from the train station and on the bike path a huge black cat ran in front of me, stopped and glared at me from the side of the path and said "You are cursed!" :-) OK, so he didn't actually say anything, but he was thinking it!

How do I know? Well last night when I got off of the train I discovered that my bike had been stolen, from the inside of the BART station, in plain sight of the so-called station agents, those government thieves who serve no real purpose at the station other than to harass paying customers for petty infractions of random rules set up for no reason other than that they can.

Four years ago I had a bike stolen from the Lafayette BART station. At the time I suspected that the BART employees there had a hand in it, that they called in their buddies when they saw a nice bike to be ripped off for fun and profit. Now, having them steal a bike from within the paid area of the station, in plain view of the booth, I am totally convinced that it is the BART employees themselves who organize the bike thefts at their stations. I can't prove it of course and nothing will ever be done about it, but thanks to the BART Thieves, aka Station Agents, I'm back to driving my car all over town and to the BART station. Thanks BART employees for doing your part to increase global warming and increase bitterness and cynicism toward all government employees. You are doing a bang up job as poster children for what is wrong with government.

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome
