A university banned sales of bottled water, and found that consumption of bottles increased — people bought soda and juice instead.

A hefty deposit on each plastic bottle might be effective for reducing bottles while not making an incentive to choose something other than water.

Uzbekistan's tyrant seems to seek to kill a dissident living in Sweden. Not having killer drones to send there, he sends human assassins.

In Somaliland, global heating has brought a persistent drought. The people cannot survive there.

They deserve help, but if Somaliland can no longer sustain its population, the requisite help includes contraception. Under such circumstances, each birth causes a death.

Racist terrorists fired shots at Black Lives Matter protesters. The protesters were in a camp, doing nothing noteworthy to anyone, but most of them were engaged in protesting while black.

Thugs were present and did nothing to catch the shooters. Because the shooters were whites?

(I will post about Trump later.)

A particularly vicious thug refused to call an ambulance for the wounded protesters, then claimed that being shot by white supremacists was what the protesters wanted.

Perhaps the thug was projecting — he was the one who wanted the protesters to be shot.

Then other thugs came and sprayed the wounded protesters (and those trying to care for them) with mace.

France is trying to kill ideas by punishing people who express them.

Here in the US, it is possible to speak honestly about the holocaust. There is plenty of evidence proving that it occurred. See, for instance, the book Hitler's Willing Executioners, by Daniel Goldhagen, and Story of a Secret State, by Jan Karski.

However, no honest statements about that question are possible in a country such as France, that imposes censorship on the subject.

France also bans free discussion of the question of the genocide of the Armenians.
