Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Does it seem strange to anyone else that college football is claiming to be too poor to afford to send "scouts" to games in person and instead makes it "illegal?" A "crime" with no known punishment? Can you imagine if the pros tried to making scouting illegal?... The thought that prior to the French Revolution that history was primarily about kings and nobles and after it was more geared to the common man is something I may have to give consideration to. Just off the top of my head the idea of Jesus and the Bible either may be the exception that proves the rule or gives lie to the theory though... Still say it would be cool if a minor league hockey team had a designated seat where anyone who sat there got to see the game for free but if the need arose they would be the emergency goalie for the home team if both their goalies were injured. Fans from the visiting team could buy the person in that seat drinks so they'd be sloshed if called on... Funny because its true!... News is only news because its bad news. You never see good news advertised anywhere. So why would you think that history might be any different if you only looked at the stuff that was popular?... Chase Winovich has announced he's retiring aged just 28. Can we all agree that he's moving on from the NFL and not retiring? Besides he was cut by his latest team. Moving on was not his choice... Another reason to homeschool your kid... The structure of the state went from vassal to a lord or king then to a citizen of the state. Now in the US most have gone back to being vassals of a political party... Interesting AFC East stat... Abortion and homosexuality are banned in Palestine and are punishable by death there. Yet some US "leaders" claim to be pro-Palestine. Can you imagine out outrage if Emily's List came out as pro-Israel?...
