“In a country where the sole employer is the State, opposition means death by slow starvation. The old principle: who does not work shall not eat, has been replaced by a new one:

who does not obey shall not eat.” Trotsky

It does little to be right due to the laws of man,

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd or stick of dynamite by the safe end. - unknown

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police

Planet Impact Explained

The recent earthquake in Chile had many people across the planet quaking in their boots.  Not to seem trite, an 8.8 Richter Scale quake is major by any account.  To put the event into some kind of scale, NOAA released the following graphic.

The above represents the energy released (66.6 exajoules), and it's subsequent spread across the Pacific.  That's a lot of joules.  But what does it equal in real life you ask?

Well, it is the equivalent of:

"15.8 gigatons of TNT. That's 316 Soviet Tsar nuclear bombs—at 50 megatons, the most powerful ever created—dropping at the same time in the same place."

So, the next time someone chastises you about the car you drive exterminating the planet or that cows producing methane portends the end of the world - tell them to shut the "quake" up. They are only trying to steal your few remaining freedoms.
