Re: Bobby Weir, I was at that show in Bristow, Bobby and the band were on fire that night.

He came on stage wearing the same sleeveless t-shirt and sweat pants that he's wearing in the photos in the article.

He looked very fit on the Jumbotrons.

It's not the fracking that causes earthquakes. It's the high-pressure re-entry of waste water into some wells that likely causes earthquakes sometimes. The post you linked to is as much a lie as what the Democrats are saying.

STUDY PUTS STANDARD NARRATIVE ON OPIOID CRISIS IN DOUBT

Of course it does. 20+ years ago, the conventional wisdom was that people rarely get addicted to prescribed pain killers and then graduate to heroin. In the past 5-10 years the standard line became almost the exact opposite, blaming prescriptions for the addictions/ODs. Reality is that it's a mixed bag, but the use of the black market drugs becomes more common as people's tolerance goes up and their $ supply goes down. Medicine is just as susceptible to fads and bogus narratives as any other human pursuit.

The simple truth is that drug users don't prefer prescription drugs. They don't really work for them like heroin or fentanyl does. But when they can't get the drugs they want they will use whatever is available. It is actually difficult to overdose on oxycodone. Conversely fentanyl is so dangerous it is difficult to not overdose using it. The only reason that the drug companies are being targeted is simply that they have deep pockets.

Where Does the Impulse to Vilify America and the West Come From? Spoiled rotten over-grown babies, that deep down inside, hate themselves, project it onto the civilization that sustains them. Fun to hate and feel superior, especially when you don't have, or want, the facts. I was talking to a child of the 60's, telling me how, on the return to the US from Paris, the site of the Statue of Liberty depressed her. She is still a died in the wool Obama/ Clinton lover. Another way to phrase the question is, " Why Don't Some People Grow Up?" Maybe it is just a standard feature of a culture that is depraved and in steep decline. (Rome)

re Where Does the Impulse to Vilify America and the West Come From?

It comes from people who seek privileged status and/or want to gain power and control over the rest of us.

America sucks because of oppression. Therefore we need special status because we are oppressed. Give us the power to make rules for fairness.

America sucks because we pollute. Give us power the power to redistribute wealth and the pollution will go away.

America sucks because we caused global warming. Give us the power to tax and regulate and we will change the weather.

America sucks because some people are rich and you are not. Give us the power to tax and redistribute and we will take from them and give you your fair share.

America is the whipping boy in all of these cases. What's disheartening is that so many believe it.

It’s time to be scientific about global warming, says climatologist Judith Curry. Way PAST time. After all, the climate's been changing ever since there's been an atmosphere.
