Justin! Why Trudeau's Heir Isn't Ready - The Daily Beast

On the contrary, I personally see Justin's comments as fairly sound. He gets my vote of confidence and his openness is very refreshing.  My criticism is that there is no real science of terrorism that will be conclusive otherwise we would have solved the issue long ago. 

Fact is exclusion theory works in understanding why violence occurs.  It may be overdressed as the American way, but treating people of opposing religion as rubbish and excluding their issues from your thought processes does have its consequences. 

Right wing, establishment, everything is ok by me thinkers don't worry much about the dynamics of exclusion until they themselves are the objects of a fast moving revolutionary machine that swings out of control. People are trying to communicate that the repression they feel deeply is not ok! Even if it is at a marathon!

Their feelings are used by those who know how to motivate people into violence. Such motivators give the terrorists a sense of inclusion within a revolution!

X-rays from Free Electrons

Look at the conditions needed for X-ray production then think about your cell phone and the metals in your body. Ask questions about how general forms of radiation may be affecting your health through transformations caused by the presence of metals in cells?

Bremsstrahlung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Note how X-rays are formed when sufficient energy comes into contact with metals as in the case of microwave energy through WIFI or RF energy. Though the amount of xray production may be unobservable by existing methods, what if xrays are generated and their effect accumulates in cell tissue or DNA. Question is whether these X-rays are ultimately the cause of cancers be they sourced from microwave energies below that which would heat tissue nevertheless sufficient to produce X-rays where metals in very tiny amounts albeit, are involved?

Such would be a dangerous mechanism of X-ray contamination occurring in the presence of metal and sufficiently high energy activity?

The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
