Notes From The Cave

Woke up to 46 degree temperatures outside. As I get older I dislike the change to colder temperatures more and more.

Unfortunately today I am experiencing the U.S. health complex in all its profit driven glory that results in hours of sitting around worrying. The current system is good for those who make money off it, but is it really good for the rest of us? We kid ourselves in thinking there is a market, but what really exists are monopolies and the lowest common denominator.

I see a few people in my feeds who are using/trying the Arc browser. Seems to me the easiest way for one to capture information from another is to develop and put out there a browser. I know nothing about the company that developed it, why should I trust it? Claims made by the company itself are not re-assuring, I would prefer a trusted third party evaluation. Fact is, some of the most important information we deal with is within a web browser.

It might be shocking to some to realize that the question of whether the United States is a single country or a union of states is not decided. One would think that the question was answered at the end of the Civil War, except that the 10th amendment was not repealed. Nor was the electoral college, nor other parts of the constitution that treat states as sovereign. Consequently, we live with the reality that citizen’s votes are not equal in Presidential elections. If you live in California, your vote matters less than if you live in Ohio. It’s not right, but it’s a consequence of where one chooses to live.

Those who benefit from the status quo see the Electoral College as a feature rather than a flaw.

“A community so addicted to consumption that it foregoes virtually every other pleasure and responsibility needs the intercession of a power great enough to reveal and tame the addiction. “God” is the place-holding holding word for the power that interrupts the tyranny of evil in all of its forms.”

I had an incident with this little guy who was sitting on the back of my chair. He appears to be recovering from his close encounter with my back.

Watching the U.S. Open on TV with the volume turned down and the Detroit Jazz Festival playing on the computer. Tennis and jazz. Hard to believe that the last U.S. men’s champion was Andy Roddick in 2003.
