In that, I suspect they have little to worry about.<br /><br />Regarding the strange matter that has landed in your immediate environs, all I can say is try to remain calm and ignore it. That is my usual coping strategy for what we in the East call winter.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-4641431462687634182016-12-14T11:52:12.272-05:002016-12-14T11:52:12.272-05:00Far too many people don't want that ignorance ...Far too many people don't want that ignorance disturbed, Owen. The current American situation surely attests to that. The same, of course, can be said about what you posted this morning on Israel's abuses of the Palestinians. If people refuse to acknowledge it is happening, their consciences can continue untroubled.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-50689065528870069122016-12-14T11:49:49.684-05:002016-12-14T11:49:49.684-05:00This is far more worrisome than the American publi...This is far more worrisome than the American public appear to understand. Depending on how far Trump went it could be treasonous. We'll know how malevolent this next government intends to be by whether it does in fact blind NASA's Earth sensing satellite network as it has threatened to do without the sort of backlash I had expected. I think most have a poor if any idea of how many satellites there are and what they do, the data they provide.<br /><br />BTW, Lorne, while I've got your attention, can you help me out?What's all this white stuff out in my yard, on my roof, in my trees? It looks a lot like that stuff that goes up on the top of the mountains. Whatever it is, I'm sure I didn't order it.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-75062458100501973642016-12-14T10:41:07.920-05:002016-12-14T10:41:07.920-05:00Ignorance Is Strength, Lorne.Ignorance Is Strength, Lorne.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-79119966940323246222016-12-14T08:39:26.256-05:002016-12-14T08:39:26.256-05:00Entirely understandable, UU4077, given the provoca...Entirely understandable, UU4077, given the provocation.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.com
