Code of US Flag

Submitted by ub on

The US flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery.

Every Fourth of July, your social media pages are sure to be filled with friends and followers wearing clothing with the American Flag on it. From swimsuits to flip-flops to sunglasses, everyone celebrating Independence Day is sure to be wearing something patriotic.

According to the Section 8 of the U.S. Flag Code, the act of wearing anything with the image of the American Flag on it is to be considered "disrespectful."

"The flag should never be carried flat, or horizontally, but always aloft and free."

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was a Russian physiologist who during the 1890s was looking at salivation in dogs in response to being fed when he noticed that his dogs would begin to salivate whenever he entered the room, even when he was not bringing them food.

As we celebrate the birthday of this behavior modification researcher, known for classical conditioning let us take a look at some of the recent actions which have occurred most recently in media manipulation. Pavlov was known for saying -Don't become a mere recorder of facts but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin.

Do you remember the story of the boy who cried wolf? PLEASE... Don't listen, or pay attention to distractions and comments aimed at taking the focus away from an increasing investigation, which like that of a previous president, who ultimately resigned was bent on lies and media accusations of fake news. Journalism and the free press are one of the foundations of our democracy.

Although no one can really say when Puerto Rico will get its power grid working again, one thing is certain, the folks living on the island are growing desperate and needlessly suffering. http://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/editorials/2017/09/23/don-let-puerto…

However, no mention of this during his weekly address and as Puerto Rico faces the worst natural disaster ever, T@POTUS rants about firing NFL players who protest http://thebea.st/2xZ7WLA

Hang on folks, the long and winding road is going to get more difficult before our nightmare ends. We have madmen across the waters and the insanity and saber rattling does not appear to end anytime soon. Meanwhile, things are getting really strange.

Global Extinction

Submitted by ub on

Massive extinctions have taken place for millions of years, so long ago that life had time to start again from zero, leaving behind creatures that were lost forever in the transformations suffered by a young, inexpert and changing.

We are the most efficient agent of a phenomenon which is as old as life itself: the extinction of species. But we are becoming so efficient in our role as destroyers that, as we begin to understand the interdependent mechanisms of life on earth, we are realizing that perhaps our own activities could end up leading our species along the road to extinction.

Where is Nambia?

Submitted by ub on

Where in the world is Nambia? Someone should have told @POTUS that Namibia is located in SW Africa. The capital is Windhoek, with a coastal town named Swakopmund.

Perhaps he should visit Google, or read the encyclopedia instead of just wasting time on Twitter rants. We're just saying and suggesting.
