[450] Saturday projects

Bob,

It's gotten so slow it is going backwards. Many humans are in a state of "devo". Devolution. Consider how many need to be told what to think. Political correctness is one of the first signs. Many are Luddites.

  "Consider where we have gone since the early days of the twentieth century. "

  In truth, with regard to humans in general, nothing ever really changes.
  Evolution seems to have come to a tedious crawl......

    Bob,

    NRA is only a part of it and is secondary. I never did fit any mold. In my left wing radical days, the Marxists cursed me as a "Marxist revisionist" which is about the nastiest thing one could be called by a Marxist. Trotskyites for some reason wanted a fist fight over poltical theory. The "Socialist Workers Party" usually wound up rabid and foaming at the mouth as a result of discussions of politics. Of course I got along well with " Hippie Folk", Viet Nam Vets against the War and the Black Student Union. How did I get from there to here? All I can say is "What a long strange trip it's been!" 

    Also, the NRA is ok, but not radical enough! But that is another rather complex story.

    An interesting read is Etienne La Boite on the "Politics of Obedience". He was a 16th century philosopher. It is a short read, but very worthwhile to stimulate thinking. It is particularly interesting as he was a (close) contemporary of Niccolo Machiavelli. Actually read both philosophers and think which is preferable and which dominates current political theory and practice. Consider where we have gone since the early days of the twentieth century. 

    George

      Ah yes, I had forgotten you were an NRA man......something about the "old hippie" exterior that always throws me off from the "right wing" aspects of your life....

        Well controlled, contained explosions with a little bit of smoke. A system designed to punch approx 0.308" holes in paper at a long distance. Most will need no further explanation. A might overpowered for chucks though.It would be kinda like swatting them with Thor's Hammer!

            Not for indoor stuff. I am going out to make smoke and thunder! 

            After that, maybe a hike in the woods with the 220 Mhz`HT

              What is everyone working on today?

              I haven't decided what to do yet, but it is a great day for radio projects.
