The story of how opposition to New Coke developed is prophetic. Imagine if Trump had been president then, it would have been a national emergency!

Apollo 11 In Real Time is really, really cool. If you are a space geek you probably already know about it, for all you others go check it out!

Among our problems is a lack of understanding about some fundamentals. One is that greatness is not self-determined. Claiming that I am great does not make me so, that makes me arrogant. Whether or not I am great is determined by others who know me or work with me.
So, when Trump says “Make America Great Again” one should ask, who determines whether America is great? How do they determine that America is great?
Likewise, I don’t think I can declare that I am not racist. I hope I am not, but I think only those of other races could determine whether or not I am racist by my actions and my character.
White man declaring he is not racist does not make it so, or does one white man saying another white man is not racist does not make it so.

I’ve been watching the replay of the YouTube live stream of the CBS coverage of the Apollo 11 launch off and on today, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the launch. The stream includes the commercial breaks, which generate a couple of thoughts. One is that there aren’t as many breaks as there would be now. Second, I wonder how much CBS charged for those commercials?
