I heard from some protests there, but that was a few weeks ago.

Those kids on UC Berkeley, including the staff and Regents, need to kick their fancy hats off their heads and get their butts kicked. Freedom of Speech never, EVER, meant creating a disturbance. They think this is the French Revelation? Just a bunch of no-nothings who need to be shut down. I served my country, the US of A, for 20 years in the Navy and I find this a disgraceful behavior.
Worse, I was born in California and will NEVER return to my Birth.[/QUOTE]

The Law of Gravity is commendable too but need not apply to our space program.

July and August cannot be too hot
And there's a legal limit to the snow here

Indeed. I wonder what he would answer if asked what was the last digit of pi.

(Donald, of course, would ask "What digits are in pies? Did an employee cut their fingers off making pies? They're fired! And I'm not responsible for health and safety. That's their responsibility.")

Day 1: "It never happened. Fake news!"
Day 2: "Ok. Maybe some fingernail, but who knows?"
Day 3: "All the Clinton Foundation pies had fingers in them! Nobody checks those pies"
Day 4: "You come after me, your fingers end up in pie."
Day 5: "Putting those digits in pies? Best idea I ever had."

LOL... Yeah.

The rest of the world is looking upon the "Great United States of America" wondering just what went so terribly wrong.

No problem. The system is self correcting.

Or so we assume....
