Month: July 2015

  • The Millennials have Sustainably Tipped Us (updated 16jul15)

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary aired on 15 July 2015.] You’ve all heard of generational groupings like the so-called Greatest Generation, Baby Boomers, and Gen Xers.  Well, the latest are the Millennials, those born between 1980 and 1997.  This cohort is now in their young adult years, and…

  • Sandbox – 15jul15

    [While the recent revival of MJ ordinance updates are being sorted out in the overflowing 10jul15 sandbox, here's a fresh one.  I would invite consideration of the columns in the 15jul15 Union written by liberal Lynn Wenzel and conservative Norm Sauer (paywalled here and here).  Both speak to the Constitution as a "living document" that today…

  • Scattershots – 14jul15 (updated 15jul15)

    George Rebane Heidi Hall is running for District 1 county supervisor, so think a lot of folks in Nevada County.  She is a well-spoken woman and a trained leftwing ideologue who currently has an unopposed soapbox provided by The Union newspaper.  Her weekly column keeps her in the public eye, and allows Union readers to…

  • Ruminations – 10jul15 (updated 11jul15)

    George Rebane After carefully perusing ample evidence on the matter, I am sad to conclude as gently as I can that Board Trustee of the Nevada Joint Union High School District Ms Linda Campbell is an idiot.  My non-accredited belief is based on following her previous public correspondence, and was confirmed this morning by a reading of…

  • Sandbox – 10jul15

    [Hopefully the Donald Trump dust-up will work itself out in 3jul15 sandbox, and this one can expand on the new thread of illegal aliens and states rights.  But it's only a hope.  gjr]

  • Fourth Amendment Compliance

    George Rebane FBI director James Comey complains that his bureau is having a hard time tracking home-grown raghead recruits because as soon as they get hyped up and contact an outfit like ISIS, they’re directed to get an encrypted smartphone for all subsequent communications with the jihadists.  And modern encryption techniques are so powerful that…

  • Zapping Drones

    George Rebane Recent reports of private drones being flown above active wildfires again makes me lose another dollop of faith in the brainpower of my fellow citizens.  Why anyone would want to endanger the fire attack spotters and tankers fighting the fire is beyond me.  So I started noodling on how to solve the problem. …

  • Happy 239th America!

    George Rebane As you again wish America a happy birthday, take a look at this rendition of ‘God Bless America’ led by John Wayne and all the show biz greats of 1970 some of whom get a mite choked up.

  • Sandbox – 3jul15

    [While the old sandbox was getting full, the comment thread on the externalities post kind of petered out and segued into looking at the externalities implied by AGW, and then it started circling the old climate change barn again.  A request was made to continue it here – fair enough. But before diving in one…

  • A Look at Externalities

    George Rebane ‘We know best what’s good for the people.’ –  from the Central Planning Bible Lately several readers have been discussing the whys and wherefores of (economic) externalities.   It’s a slippery concept to apply as may be deduced from its definition. An externality is “a consequence of an economic activity that is experienced by…
