Re: Zen and the art of motor cycle maintenance
A link to a copy that somebody posted online. https://www.bartneck.de/projects/research/pirsig/zen.pdf I read the book long ago and remember feeling ambivalent about it. Parts were as stirring anything I'd read up to that time, but there were long stretches that I just wanted to get past. I think I ...

Re: Favorite Short Horror Story
"Hop-Frog" by Poe is one of my favorites. It's short and has a fierce ending.

Re: Defunding the police
Great points, and the message will make even less sense in communities that are well satisfied with their police forces. Those do exist. I have nothing but positive things to say about police in Loudoun County, Va., where I last worked. Those officers worked skillfully with the mentally ill and hom...

Re: Defunding the police
The power behind the Democratic Party wants a national police force. Obama talked about it in 2008: "...We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful (as the military), just as strong, just as well-funded." Obama and his initiatives were supported by George S...

Re: Minneapolis burns for 3 days
Here's another graphic. Instagram banned it for being hate speech. The leftist news media is mighty selective in what it reports. http://www.informationliberation.com/files/EZ1xD9yXgAEEYzb.jpg Instagram also shut down Candace Owens' account: Candace Owens: "I DO NOT support George Floyd!" ...

Re: Coronavirus
42% of the deaths have been in nursing homes. Apparently in an effort to make Trump look bad, several state governors forced Wuhan patients in among the elderly. Who could have imagined that Trump Derangement Syndrome would lead to mass murder by governors? Also, the death count has been inflated be...

A Journal of the Plague Year, by Daniel Defoe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Journal_of_the_Plague_Year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Defoe The book seems appropriate to the times. It's interesting how Defoe describes people sensing that the plague was coming. Reminds me of how here, in th...

Re: Coronavirus
Comparing COVID-19 to the flu is disingenuous. According to experts, COVID-19 is more infectious than the flu, and has a higher death rate. 36,000 Americans die each year from the complications of the flu, while so far this year the death toll in the U.S. from COVID-19 has surpassed 100,000. "...
