Whenever you hear someone ranting on about "climate change" (formerly global warming, formerly global cooling), just remember:
The ground temperature data is falsified.
The satellite temperature data is currently being falsified.
The ice cores are lied about.
The tree rings were from one side of one tree.
The models are bupkis.
The data is hidden.
The sources are deleted.
The code is obfuscated.
Simple questions and contrary opinions are shouted down.
Questioners are labeled as heretics and threatened with death.
There is no science in their "science". It's political religion all the way down.
Marx is a jealous god.
'Normal' is a statistical average. There may be such a thing as a normal person, but I haven't met him yet.
My comments on books, games, guns, science, politics, and whatnot.

Real drug rehab
Every drug rehab facility you've ever heard of is an scam. Those 30, 60, 90 day programs? They do no good whatsoever in 99.44% of cases.
Successful drug rehab requires a minimum of 9 months in a specialized facility. And that is only for the well behaved people who want to be there, and have a serious consequence if they fail to pass the program. It takes 90-120 days for the average druggie to finally admit to himself that he actually has a problem, and that problem is the drugs. Rehab starts the day after that breakthrough. The average stay is 12-15 months.
Real rehab centers have to teach druggies how to be human. This is neither easy, quick, nor cheap. Once they have mastered how to human, then they are taught how to be an adult.
The staff to patient ratio is around one to one. Staff members are on a two year rotation, because they burn out fairly quickly.
How do I know this? I was lucky enough, in the Army, to be selected to be my unit's urinalysis drug testing program coordinator. (Better known as the piss test NCO.) And we were located near both the drug testing facility for the East Coast, and one of the two successful rehab facilities in the entire country. Yes, there are only two. The one in Maryland is the biggest, and can handle up to a maximum of one hundred and twenty patients at a time.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way!
The purpose of government is to establish a minimum level of social compliance, enforce contracts, encourage trade, protect life and property, and to punish villains.
Government is force.
Force is pain, suffering, and death.
If you aren't willing to inflict pain, suffering, and death in the defense of your nation, you have no right to any say in how the government is organized and managed.

Happy Independence Day!
Today is the day to look back and remember what America once was, and wonder how we let it go so wrong, and ponder on how to make it right again.
Faithless, treasonous politicians should be hanged on the lawn of their Statehouse on this day each year. Because of course there will be at least one loud mouthed, anti-American traitor in Congress every year. And if not in Congress, then surely at least one State will find itself burdened with a Quisling.
Oh, and what he said, with spurs on.

Useful Idiots
It is entertaining and enlightening that the overgrown children clamoring to remove all borders are also demanding that they be protected from the harmful influence of alternate ideas being spoken in their vicinity.
The Soviets quite rightly described this group of people as “useful idiots”.
