History . . . Ignored and Forgotten

 

One of the most important lessons parents can teach their children is the natural consequences of their actions. If you do “A,” the most likely result is “B.” Children armed with this knowledge are more likely to make life decisions that lead to successful and positive outcomes. In addition, with maturity should come the understanding that not every choice leads to success and that one must be willing to accept the responsibility for failure as well as victory.

How incredible it would be if nations could learn these same lessons. Imagine the progress mankind could achieve if we stopped using the same erroneous facts, flawed logic, and an ignorance and denial of historical truth to expect different results from similar actions.

Drones for the Holidays: Aerial Video + Photo for Every Budget + Skill Level

 

There is one product out there that has completely revolutionized the way we think about videography and photography, more so than any other in the last five years, and it’s not even made by a camera company. The multi-rotor, AKA “UAV” (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), AKA “drone,” has emerged from seemingly nowhere and captured everyone's imagination. The child in us loves to see machines fly. The nerd in us loves to learn how these things fly. The artist in us loves to imagine what sorts of amazing shots we could get if we only had a camera that could fly.

Multi-rotors are remote-controlled model aircraft that have more than two spinning blades. There are tri-copters, quad-copters, hexa-copters, octo-copters, and about any other kind of ’copter you can think of out there. What that amounts to, for photographers, is a very stable platform that can lift payloads such as cameras and gimbals (an essential tool that stabilizes the attached camera).

Austin Police Chief’s Remarks About ‘Gun Enthusiasts’ Will Likely Have Some Gun Owners a Little on Edge

Via Joe

“Thank you lord that it’s a controversy in Austin, Texas that we actually have the audacity to touch somebody by the arm and tell them ‘oh my goodness, Austin Police, we’re trying to get your attention. In other cities there’s cops who are actually committing sexual assaults on duty, so I thank God that this is what passes for a controversy in Austin, Texas.”

A classic. “At least we didn’t rape her” as a means of putting an over-zealous jaywalking encounter into perspective—wow. And, as a bonus, Acevedo managed to gratuitously insult his fellow police officers all over America.

**********************

 

Following a shooting in downtown Austin, Texas, the city’s police chief urged residents to be on the lookout for anyone “acting with a lot of hatred towards any particular group.” But he put extra emphasis on one particular group of people — “gun enthusiasts.”

“And that’s why it’s important for us as Americans to know our neighbors, know our families — tell somebody,” Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said Monday. “If you know somebody that is acting with a lot of hatred towards any particular group- especially if it’s somebody you know is a gun enthusiast or is armed with these type of firearms and they’re showing any kind of propensity for hatred- it doesn’t mean we’re going to take them to jail, but we might want to vet these people.” (Oh, really, for illegal thoughts.....?)

SF Chronicle: Gun Sales Driven by 'Scared White Guys' Who 'Don't Read Complicated Books'

Via Angry Mike "We need to grab this little faggot, strip him to his panties, and drop him off in downtown Cleveland Ohio in July, then the little bitch can see what us scared white ppl that have never left our state is a bit nervous of, and I know just the spot !"

Following the record pace of firearm background checks on Black Friday 2014, the San Francisco Chronicle's Mark Morford announced that gun sales had been driven by "scared white guys" who "don't read complicated books."

According to the Chronicle columnist, who describes himself as a "yoga instructor" and "admirer of trees," white male gun purchasers are afraid of our "scary black president" and of Ferguson's black protesters.

Which is more dangerous: a scared, undereducated white guy with a gun, or black people protesting in the streets? http://t.co/SQG9qLEgWf
