    In this age, people are finally catching up to the evolution of thought that; you are free to do what you want as long as you harm no one and DONT get caught.
    I predict a rise in home made EMP and HERF projects to combat the rise in drone projects. I think privacy and self defence projects are going to lead the way for a while.
    Actually, the only real difference between amateur and professional science is; amateurs have less funding and are immune to corruption of fact by payola from benefactors. It is far too important that amateurs have free axcess to raw materials, as these are where mans REAL discovery comes from in unadulterated form.
    Considering legalities, is ridiculous in terms of mankinds progress and should be ignored.
    This will separate the scientists from the chickenshits.

    Another speculative piece packed with journalistic fiber to help me process and evacuate the content.
    THis is not about addiction. No one has physical withdrawl symptoms. Any mental ones are part of a CHOICE.
    This is all about CHOICES.
    What happens when you are separated from connectivity? You decide to respond with anxious emotions.
    What do you mean you didnt decide? Do you have puppet strings? Someone decide for you to feel like that? Does someone else control your brain or do you?
    YOU DECIDED!
    There are plenty of more appropriate reactions to choose and a plethora of unlikely reactions, all of which you get to pick!
    You could shrug your shoulders and pick up a book, choosing indifference. You could choose anger and go run some blubber off or hit a speed bag for a while.
    You could meditate, cook, masturbate, bicycle, sleep, yard work,build something and choose to be happy instead.
    This article is a dodgy filler for a sinking publicatioin that fewer people care about every day. Just filler, nothing to see here, just move along...

Seems open discussion and tolerance take a back seat to political aspiration and zealotry. Progressive? Civilized? No one in this story has achieved that yet.

    Doesn't matter, it's really only a one party system , the Repubmocrats.
    What one doesn't do, the other one does during their administration.
    Downward spiral since the New Deal. So whether it was the Texas accent or the Arkansas accent before it, is irrelevant. One merely caters to this group of demographics, while the other one covers the rest in a shell game where our rights only appear to be under one of the shells.
    So, in the end, I singled out the Democrat colored ones and associated them with their demographic, Mac owners, for an ironic humorous reply to Ralph Wiggams query about Gores V.P. term in "95" , alluding to Gores position on the Board at Apple and the fanboyism of the Macish.

    LOL, yeah, they still believe there is such a thing as "Native Americans". Even funnier they still picture them living in "harmony" with nature.Some of these people used to burn pine trees for tribal entertainment, pretty colored fire. Easy to see a LOT of forest fires happening. Garbage was left everywhere. Early strait crossers also ate everything big , slow and easy to catch that they came across; Elephants, giant ground sloths,Camels, whatever was easy and didn't fight effectively. Of course, they got bred with every civ that came over to look around. Which probably include, Vikings, Minoans, Celts( we find Ogam language carved into river rocks to this day.) Chinese( anchor stones all along west coast) Romans (galleys found in Gulf of Mexico) , some say Egyptians because of south American cultures similarities. We know the explorer/conquistadors knocked off some ass when they landed, better believe everyone else did too. This was a melting pot long before "modern" civ showed up.
    AND you won't hear any of this in a classroom because it's "Not nice", "politically incorrect" even "racist", BUT, it is true by archaeological evidence, SO closed minded Pop scientists can kiss my ass. Not really any such thing as an "Indian", but I am still for the U.S. honoring treaties with what I will call the early settlers.
