    Evidently, you don’t read much besides the sports section. It has happened.

    Look for an article in the NY Sun “outrage-as-scooter-riding-teens-could-face-10-year-prison-terms-for-leaving-scuff-marks-on-gay-pride-crosswalk”. There are a bunch of other articles about it as well. Now the scooter people are rigging the scooters to stop if they are about to run over the sacred crosswalk.

    Of course, it’s fine for cars to take over a bridge for their acrobatics, with maybe one arrest. But don’t desecrate the sacred crosswalk.

    Why paint a crosswalk that cars will desecrate hundreds of times a day?

    Conservatives aren’t the ones threatening scooter riders with 5-10 years in prison for making skid marks on a rainbow crosswalk.

    I didn’t think enlistment was discouraged in the book. It was required if you wanted to vote, and those who didn’t enlist were sort of thought to be a little wimpy. Once you joined, you’d better behave, even though they didn’t chase you just because you went AWOL.

    The movies are all junk. No nuance, just kill bugs.

    I look for Heinlein in any book shop I can find.

    I still wish Mike had survived.

    Starship Troopers. Great book, lousy movie. Would you give up the right to vote if it required you to serve in the army? AWOL’s no big deal, unless you do a bad thing and make the army come get you.

    I had forgotten the ending of Podkayne of Mars when I read it for the second time after many years. So I enjoyed the ending twice.

    Stranger in a Strange Land was on the weird side, and later books just didn’t work for me.

    So, I have to eat thousands of flies to get about the same protein as a bite of a Quarter Pounder? (I didn’t do the calculations, so any of you can feel free to check me.)

    A 12mg fly contains 19.7g of protein. Does anyone proof read any more?

    When’s the last time you voted against yours? Why should you make a decision about my Congress member, or why should I decide about yours? Kick yours out if you want, but let me take care of mine.

    Many years ago, my dad would hold my head still when he saw this sign. I passed it on to my kids and grandkids.
