July 4 - Patriotism and Good Uses for Drones

I actually think this headline is wrong - the article says:
. . . the decline seems to have more to do with reactions to the symbols of American democracy than its values. Older Americans remain remarkably high in their devotion to symbols like the flag, while young citizens are cooler toward Old Glory but express higher support for classic American ideals like equality and opportunity.   
Seems to me that real patriotism is about values, not symbols.

This is not really a tough one. Obesity is terrible for you. Being obese does not make you a terrible person. People need to get their minds around the distinction.
Seems to me that under any interpretation, it's dead wrong to remove news articles. I hate the right to be forgotten.
I really want a drone now . . .

  1. That drone thing is really damn cool. They'll keep getting cheaper, we'll have some soon.

    Both the obesity and the right to be forgotten are very straightforward, you're right. Seems like Google has played it pretty well, as per usual. We'll see what happens.

    Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I would expect across the generations. Kinda neat that it doesn't really change with time. I don't really know what I'd say to that question about some people having more of a chance than others. Not only is it inevitable and unavoidable, it's also entirely the basis for life and society and what. That's interesting
