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.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,...

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
