Thoughts for the day
A nice warm day.
I watched Good Night and Good Luck last night on CNN. It was a
live play of the times around Edward R. Murrow during the McCarthy era. I’m a
tad too young to remember those days, but I certainly remember studying them in
school. It certainly was a good reminder of the courage in journalism by CBS,
its reporters and its owners. I certainly hope that today’s journalists and
news organizations have that same courage in today’s world.
Abrego Garcia is back in the US. This whole mess is about the
constitutional right of Due Process. He may well be guilty of crimes, and he
should pay for those crimes. It is about giving him his day in court to address
the charges.
I always thought that the National Guard had to be asked for by the
local, usually governor or mayor, authorities before the National Guard could
be called in. Trump seems to have missed that lesson. The locals said they had everything
under control. This seems more political theater than constitutional.
Historic Figures who never existed…
Pythagoras©Cmick25 on Wikimedia
If the name sounds familiar, it's probably
because you've remembered it from the Pythagorean Theorem in your mathematics
class. Yet, while Pythagoras was the mythical figure who popularized the
formula, some believe that it existed even before him—if he even existed at
all. There is very little that's known of him, and it's suspected that the
mathematical proofs of his theorem were written by his followers. Even his
appearance may be completely fictitious.
