  5. California Auto Bill

    That's pretty interesting. You make some good points too, Chirp. In 23 years the technology will certainly be good enough to do that. I suppose it's possible that there may be solar cells efficient enough to provide enough electricity to charge the batteries. But, otherwise, I don't know where the power will come from. It will be interesting to see how the bill progresses.

  10. The Glass House of the NFL

    That's a good article, I see the writer's name, but where was it published?

    I agree with all the points he made. When I ask someone who supports the kneeling what they are protesting, the answer is always "social injustice." But, when I push for a more exact answer, they don't have one. So, they are protesting over a slogan.

    I thought I would really miss watching NFL games, but once I decided to boycott games, I realized there were a lot better things to spend my time doing, things I enjoyed more. For example, throwing the football around with Dustin, or playing my guitar by myself, or with Dustin, or cleaning the house (which it really needs, and I learned I didn't really mind doing it lol). Once the Broncos stopped the kneeling, and I started watching them again, i didn't miss not watching the other games. And, i often forget about Monday and Thursday Night Football entirely. I have a lot of fun playing Fantasy football, and I don't have to watch any of the games to do that.

    So, Goodell, and the spoiled brat millionaire players, really have hurt the league by refusing to take a stand, and I am happy to be watching fewer football games.

     

     

  25. I did not take a knee.

    Nan, 

    Some of our professional football players (and some ahtletes in other sports too) go down on one knee instead of standing with their hand over their heart when our National Anthem is played before sporting events. The athletes claim they are doing this because of social injustice  in the U.S. To many of us, however, we perceive this as an insult to our Flag and our Country. I, and many others, believe that while there may be social injustice (and it is debatable exactly what they mean by that) they are dishonoring all the military personnel that have died protecting the American way of life. After all, these pro athletes are are making millions of dollars because our country is the way it is. While I agree that these athletes have the right to free speech and the right to protest, they are going about it in the wrong way. Instead of bringing people together to work on fixing the problems, they are dividing the country even more. That, in a nutshell is what "taking a knee" is all about.
