Native Son replied to LShieldes's discussion Whistleblowers vs leaks vs security in the group The Great Debate"I think what's going on with the leaks is two-fold.

Native Son replied to C.C. Dolph's discussion Standing up to "The Man." in the group The Great Debate"Actually, the courts (all the way to the US Supreme Court) have held you generally must identify yourself during a detention.

Native Son replied to JonEdanger's discussion Yet Another School Shooting (Gun Control Thread) in the group The Great Debate"Titus is correct.

The Beacon is Lit.

It's Pearl Harbor Day.
On the evening of December 7, 1941, the aircraft navigation beacon on top of Mt. Diablo, east of San Francisco, CA was not lit for the first time since 1928.
The rotating beacon has a visual range of some 200 miles, well within the flight range of 1941 carrier based bombers, and it was feared that Japanese would use the beacon to bomb the San Francisco area.
The beacon was not relit until December 7, 1964.
It will be lit…

Almost unbelievable! Our daughter just "culminated" from elementary school today. Good grief, it seems like only a couple of weeks ago she was a "Campbell's Soup Kid" look-alike of a toddler. Now, she's on the verge of becoming a young lady. Absolutely amazing how quickly time flew by.
One minor note. I laughed at the contrast between her Culmination Ceremony, with speeches, awards, certificates and cake and my successful departure from elementary school, which was on the…
