Gödel's incompleteness theorems
It's in that little space where doubt creeps in and you realize that reason and math can never have all the answers...

The $65-Million Pantsuit
These are judges, remember. They sort out the shit you can't sort out yourself. Lawyers done well, as you will.
Case in Point #1: Stanford Rapist gets 6 Months, Ensuing uproar
I applaud the Jurors, and it looks like maybe something will be done. A shame they can't overturn the sentence.
Case #2 (and this has been going on a while...): http://loweringthebar.net/2016/06/pants-chapter-28.html

On Why I'd Vote for Donald Trump
Well, it's come to that, has it? Bloody hell. Half the time I'm not sure if he's running for President or Assassination. I was rooting for Bernie Sanders, not sure that he could have effected all the changes he aspired to, but he was the best candidate by a long shot.
Now, a choice between Hillary Clinton - corruption and corporate politics all over again. NSA, the continuation of an increasingly distant, uninvolved and unengaged line of politicians. Expect more of the same.
Or the Donald. Narcissistic, a liar, a certified idiot, but the fact that he's in the running, that he's got this much support, well, he's onto something. Would I vote for Donald? No. Never. But a vote for Donald now is a vote for the end of the USA. Hillary, we'll, she'll stay the course, do the right thing by her sponsors (not the voters, never the voters). But Donald, hell, I'm pretty sure if he survives he'll run that train clear off the rails. And maybe they need that, the Americans, the proof of how undemocratic their society has become, the final breaking of everything so they can take it apart and start over. Yeah, you wouldn't want to be an American, but shouldn't the fact that he's even running (or Hillary, or the Bushes, or any of a number of other incompetent, corrupt and otherwise ineligible candidates) suggest this? If I could, I'd be voting Donald, rent a south-facing balcony, pop open a beer and watch the fireworks...

Torrington - Garage Sale
And, across from the Museum in Torrington, a garage sale. A pretty big one, nothing I wanted, initially, piles of Scuba Gear, Tools, Tanks, Sporting goods, man stuff, it took me a few tours to spot the skis, masterpieces, a hair over 8' tall, barely fit into the jeep, no prices on anything, I offered $10, he took it, he was just clearing everything out, wanted it gone, an estate sale of sorts, and given the high quality of the rest of his stuff I should have made an offer, run ads on Kijiji to sell it off, could have made a couple of hundred bucks at least, but I keep reminding myself I'm not a dealer, I only buy what I love or I can find a home for...
Money's tight, I gotta change my thinking...
