A Compact Guide to Biblical Values

This is the most direct, compact, and insightful image I have seen in a long time.  It is well worth saving here:

Police Brutality in America

This is the kind of shit that is happening right now in America.  Police are killing and raping people with no repercussions.  This kind of behavior is abominable and deplorable and shows how sick our society is today.

Don't be part of this sickness.

Peruse News Around the World: Oddities of Today

So, I was perusing the world news today when two article titles caught my attention.  Both are absurd, just in different directions.

First, apparently Kim Jong Un and his North Korean crazies have managed to produce "hangover-less" booze.  To my knowledge, this is not possible, but it would certainly put North Korea on the economic map if they actually succeeded.  It might even rescue them from destitution assuming they could get trade sanctions lifted, lol.

The next article is more political correct nonsense... "Whiteness History Month".

Look... I appreciate that you are trying to be fair and whatever, but seriously... quit with the PC insanity.  I don't like Black History Month or Asian History Month or White History Month... just stop.  This kind of absurdity only breeds contempt and hate.

We are all human beings.  We all eat, sleep, and poop; so get over it.

Age of Aging

I received a new article from Patrick Cox of Mauldin Economics regarding the 2015 advancements in anti-aging technology that is slowly blossoming.

This article covers two primary drugs that have been around for a while but were never tested for the specific purpose of slowing down cellular aging.  These two drugs alone have the pontential -- at least based on current testing already completed -- to increase human lifespans by 10-15%.  It would be curious to do a statistical study of people who have taken the drug metformin for diabetes and see if they possess any measurable differences in cellular degeneration.

And I am sure that these drugs are only the vanguard of what may materialize as science advances to testing and marketing.  By some estimates, I am slated to live to 120 healthfully and 150 to 180 before I die.  That is curious to consider and something that I will keep chewing on.

There are plenty of dismal things that I have read and always keep in mind, but I want to share interesting or hopeful things also.

The article is here, or I have a copy of it transcribed below.  The online copy has all of the charts and images though, so hit that up first.
