When you have the need to defend yourself why not use a gun or some other form of lethal protection   We are killing our own in this country because the gun is the answer for power and ignorance  What else do you do with a gun ->  kill something   ENTER FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN THE DANIEL DEFENSE M4A1 BLOCK II RIFLE source https://www.classicfirearms.com Then what?

Abortion to be or not

Image
  Choices create decisions Liking children makes having sex more fun and ultimately less stressful     The ugly conclusion by today's standards, if you don't want children don't want sex Father of four and Orthodox Catholic  -  the above conclusion could be had by anyone: religious, agnostic, rich, poor, politically persecuted, a proud boy or a stupid girl... Want a life don't take one

Duck family

Image
 I am amazed that so many of her offspring survived  While riding a bike in the neighborhood it's not unusual to see a mother with three or more ducklings which are so small they disappear in tall grass This is the view from the drone I use in the neighborhood  Not all neighbors are happy that someone can see them from afar  One of them called the police  There is nothing they can do since they don't own the air space above them  -   what I see is not all that interesting anyway  I am happy that Ukraine solders are using these cheap drones to fight the Russian offensive with success

Sell yourself - Indenture servents

Image
Selling one's labor for a period of time was common in colonial America  Your body became a means of credit - labor for a life, or a skill  This allowed some to gain access to a better living conditions  Not all were so fortunate, laws suits were used to force the contract agreements  Read the article from Delanceyplace Here Source Delanceyplace.com   The Economy of Colonial America by Edwin J.

Money = Happiness?

 I recently returned a camera I bought thinking it would work as well as a previous miniature Nikon    It didn't and was delighted when the return credit to my account was timely   After reading this Pocket article I thought twice about reinvesting in items I don't need   Maybe I'll just save it or invest in a stock that grabs my interest   If you read this article there is nothing really new, but maybe it will remind you of how material happiness is just a moment Source Pocket.com - Popular Science Gulnaz Khan

    "Can new emission-free electric planes replace our polluting airliners and revolutionize personal transportation in our cities? NOVA takes a ride in some quiet, energy-efficient, prototypes that are vying for success as electric flight takes off." TO VIEW GO TO PBS NOVA  https://www.pbs.org/search/?q=electric+planes I look forward to the day when electric or similar powered aircraft will replace carbon burning fueled aircraft. With the technology I have experienced with drones public transportation should be safer.  Electric motors can correct for fluctuations in air flow around an aircraft.  If you have experienced wind shear (a change in wind speed or direction) while flying you can appreciate what advantages multiple engines with independent speeds and even pitch can offer for a safer aviation future.   https://www.pbs.org/video/greener-skies-1622062839/  Going green in the air    Source   PBS Nova  PBS News Hour

Contact Opening scene

Image
 Opening scene from an under appreciated space movie without aliens  "... Contact ’s visual effects look as though they hit cinemas yesterday; it’s the 640×480 screen resolutions and clunky laptops which give the decade away. A three-minute, fully CGI opening sequence, dragging the audience backwards through the solar system and gradually ageing radio waves into deep space, spent seven years as the longest continuous VFX sequence in a live-action film; its detail and quality explains why nobody tried to best it any sooner."
