I had a great time talking with the guys: It's fascinating the ways the crypto cycles have waved through the past dozen years, especially as this industry is experienced differently region-to-region. Thanks, @ATXDAO!

A Warning from History. A year after WW1 ended, A French Pilot, Jacques Trolley de Prévaux, flew an Airship from the Belgian coast to the devastated battlefields of France where millions died. Lost for decades this is part of what he saw remastered in color and HD.

There seems to be no limit to people's desire to believe there is a grand, evil conspiracy to ruin their life. I've never understood this. Is it a way to excuse one's own dysfunction? The thrill of being disturbed? Here, tens of thousands of people are agreeing "they're"

What strikes me is how any organization feels they are the arbiter of who or what is considered acceptable for the conservative movement. On top of it being audacious and elitist, it's also just odd for them to think they have this power to dictate for roughly half of the

This isn't just embarrassing; it's incredibly divisive. Equally incredible is that he's the governor. It's like he's trying to make Minnesota worse.

It all boils down to our culture/personality not working well in this more fluid, conflicting era we're in. To address it, Minnesota should acknowledge this handicap and seek leadership to counteract it. This could help enable our strengths to shine once again. As I argued

This case offers a good lesson about the nature of the two main political ideologies. How is it that progressives are being accused (by conservatives, no less) of attacking women's rights? How did this bizarro situation come about? It’s because either political side, when
