Love of Driving

A weekend drive, twisty roads, and poutine

The plan: To drive out past Orillia, and drive up the entertaining Southwood Rd to the town of Bala.

The town of Bala provides a good place to stop and rest.

The good news mixed into the changes to NASA's plans

Also on the agenda is development of the technology for in-space fuel depots, a concept raised by the Augustine panel as a way to stretch launch capacity for travel beyond LEO.

With the constellation program dead, there won't be any people on the moon any time soon, but long term, in-orbit refueling is the key to economic intra-system space travel. This is good news.

Is being leftist a psychiatric condition?

"The notion that his own society is evil and unjust is the bedrock of the leftist’s vision. Wicked capitalists trample on the poor, the oppressed, and the downtrodden; the leftist appoints himself to rescue these victims. He is a self-styled social redeemer, leading a movement to liberate the masses, even if it results in the destruction of his own society. This political mission provides him with immense moral indignation and, therefore, moral superiority, dispositions from which, in turn, he derives emotional self-gratification. His whole belief system provides him with a sense of belonging; he joins other social redeemers, as well as the victims, real or imagined, who wait for him to break their chains.

Thus, the leftist’s political disposition is a faith that reinforces his personal identity and sense of belonging."

I think the real question is, is it curable?

Very good article about Global Warming
