People Refuse to Think
I spend a fair amount of time wondering how people could possibly be so dumb, that they often act counter to their own best interests or believe things which are totally absurd and defy logic. In addition, huge numbers of people believe anything which jives with their...
Top Ten Safest / Most Dangerous Cities and States
Top Ten Safest and Most Dangerous Cities and States I think it’s fascinating to know which are the most dangerous and safest cities / states. The list is not based upon personal opinions, it’s based upon FBI violent and property crime stats per 100,000 people. I think...
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles Versus Electric Vehicles

The Democrats HR1 Bill is Another Idiotic Bill from a Party Which Often Demonstrates Stupidity
America is in big trouble. We need two strong political parties which act as a counterbalance to the other. That would hopefully result in common sense compromises to solve problems and/or resolve issues. This is what the majority of Americans want from their...
America’s Insane Drug Laws
I was told that Einstein’s definition of insanity is repeating the same behavior over and over while expecting a different outcome. We’ve been repeatedly trying, for over a half century, to stem the tide of illegal drugs using the same failed approach. Yet we probably...
Alcohol Damages Brain Cells (Gray Matter)
No Amount of Alcohol is Good For You Scientists have known for decades that drinking alcohol destroys brain cells (the gray matter used for thinking and logic). Here are the results of major study in the UK. Virtually all of the information below comes from the NPR...
