The mainstream media have applied the magic of photoshop to convert Trayvon Martin from a menacing thug who needed killing to a sweet innocent child. Eyes enlarged to reduce apparent age. Nose reduced for cuteness. Chinline on viewer right of image altered to reduce apparent age. Hairline raised for larger forehead, to reduce apparent age …

George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin
According to George Zimmerman, he turned his back on Trayvon Martin and was walking away, whereupon Trayvon Martin chimped out and attacked him from rear left. Circumstantial evidence supports this story, (for starters, there is no way a man like George Zimmerman is going to physically attack a man like Trayvon Martin with his fists) and …
The ancestral environment of females
The collagen in old bones of humans shows stable isotope levels similar to that of the old bones of wolves and hyenas, indicating that humans ate at the same trophic level as wolves and hyenas or higher, that is to say, the same position in the food chain or higher, which implies that almost all …
Why the elite is dumb and getting dumber
When recruiting people for administration, administrators very reasonably look for past experience on the administration track. To him that has shall be given, to him that has not, even what little he has shall be taken away. However success at the lowest levels of the administration track is at best a poor indicator of intelligence, …
Technological decay
Earlier I argued that technology in the west peaked in 1970, Tallest building 1972, coolest muscle cars, last man left the moon,though it continues to advance in some other parts of the world: Unreasonable expectations points at another indicator.

If you are spending your own money on yourself, you care very much how much it costs, and care very much how good what you get is. If you are spending someone else’s money on someone else, aka “freeâ€, you don’t care how much it costs, and you don’t care if it does the recipient …
The inevitability of murder under government health care
At the age of eighty four, you have a heart attack. The ambulance comes around, it stabilizes you, it takes you, free of charge to the free government hospital, and the free doctors at the free government hospital conclude you need open heart surgery, a stent and a coronary bypass. Now the government can provide …
Yes, ten percent of Netherlands deaths are murder by government.
Yes, ten percent of hospital deaths in the Netherlands are state sponsored murder, involuntary euthanasia. Rick Santorum is attracting a great deal of outrage for his statement that to control medical costs in the Netherlands, ten percent of patients are involuntarily euthanized – murdered to save on medical costs. The mainstream media is producing a …
