Here’s are some interestng thoughts from Stefan Molyneux. Fact checking of his comments by SDA readers is highly encouraged.
When The Democrats Do It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal
It’s not a party. It’s a criminal organization;
The early-morning paramilitary-style raids on citizens’ homes were conducted by law enforcement officers, sometimes wearing bulletproof vests and lugging battering rams, pounding on doors and issuing threats. Spouses were separated as the police seized computers, including those of children still in pajamas. Clothes drawers, including the children’s, were ransacked, cellphones were confiscated and the citizens were told that it would be a crime to tell anyone of the raids.
Some raids were precursors of, others were parts of, the nastiest episode of this unlovely political season, an episode that has occurred in an unlikely place. This attempted criminalization of politics to silence people occupying just one portion of the political spectrum has happened in Wisconsin, which often has conducted robust political arguments with Midwestern civility.
And it will remain so, as long as the country is headquartered in Chicago.
The Exotic Others
They’re, like, sooo cool:
A controversial Islamist group will gather at Tufts University on Friday for a weekend-long conference that will include training students to take “direct action” against pro-Israel and Jewish students on U.S. campuses, according to a schedule of the conference obtained by the Free Beacon.
The Jew-lovers shall find no safe space:
Some of the SJP’s past tactics have included distributing anti-Semitic literature, verbally threatening pro-Israel students, physically assaulting students, shouting down pro-Israel speakers, disrupting campus events, and scheduling anti-Israel events on Jewish holidays.

Honey, I Finished The Internet
A Long View Of Nuclear
This neat combination of two of the earliest nuclear myths – the supposed special effect on life and unlimited potential – has had knock-on effects for industry and the public ever since, notably now in Fukushima prefecture where many members of the public fear levels of radiation that are lower than natural background levels found in other parts of the world.
One summary is that we set out to scare ourselves about nuclear weapons, but we scared ourselves about nuclear power at the same time.

It’s Probably Nothing
Don’t panic. It’s really, really hard to catch:
