  • Ruminations – 30sep14

    'My Uncle Frank in Chicago was a staunch Conservative, and voted straight Republican until the day he died.  Since then he has voted Democrat.'  (H/T to reader) George Rebane Measure S proponents have an ex parte court hearing tomorrow to change the wording on the ballot that has been known to all since last April.  These…

  • Sandbox – 27sep14

    [A refreshingly new sandbox is filled and ready for your divers thoughts, ideas, and repartees.  I would be interested in a thread that discusses the 'Ring of Fire' rumblings going on.  What really concerns me is that not much is being said about the really big one under Yellowstone.  When that one goes we will…

  • Thoughts on Marijuana and Measure S

    George Rebane Measure S to replace Nevada County’s current Ordinance 2349 specifying how medicinal marijuana (MMJ) has become our community’s latest cause celebre and also the casus belli between the pro and anti Measure S factions.  Measure S is a public initiative on the November ballot to replace the current 2349.  Both S and 2349…

  • Ruminations – 23sep14

    George Rebane The ISIS fatwa urging all Muslims in the world to ‘kill ‘em wherever you find ‘em’ is finally starting to cause some serious concerns among western leaders.  The news services are reporting frustrating communiques being issued by presidents, prime ministers, intelligence service heads, and national police forces.  The problem comes with the radicalized…

  • Walking Back Climate ‘Science’ & Policy (updated 22sep14)

    Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.  Luke 23:34 George Rebane On the front of the 20sep14 edition of WSJ is a top-of-the-page herald that reads ‘Climate Science is NOT Settled’ (emphasis theirs; source of filched photo).  I have waited at least ten years for the world’s preeminent newspaper to publish a…

  • A Nation in Denial

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 19 September 2014.] Are we in information overload?  It’s hard to think back to a time when Americans have been in such deep denial about so many things going on in the world – both here and abroad.  When I begin…

  • Sandbox – 15sep14

    [I salt this sandbox with a reminder to RR readers that Obama (with the enthusiastic aid of acolyte Schumer) is planning his next step to take the US down another notch – we are already 32 out of 34 developed countries.  Today in the 15sep14 WSJ lead editorial we read – Any day now the…

  • Cultural Solidarity (updated 16sep14)

    George Rebane As we await this week’s vote for Scotland’s independence, my thoughts again turn to culture and its role in shaping a people and structuring a society.  Reviewing some of these notions with you at this time might even pique some discussion.  The basic idea here is that what a society can/will or cannot/will…

  • Marijuana Ordinance Utility/Criteria

    George Rebane In the comment stream to ‘Medical Marijuana Cultivation Initiative’ I suggested that a better marijuana ordinance for Nevada County should be developed through a more systematic process starting with laying out what are the criteria that the provisions of such an ordinance should satisfy.  A collection of such criteria are also known as…

  • Sandbox – 9sep14

    [The belatedly refreshed sandbox is again open for business.  We start this new load of sand with an excellent graphic commentary (filched from the 9sep14 issue of The Union) from our brother Bob that goes a long way to explaining how these beautiful foothills got that smelly purple tinge. gjr]
