My best friend in high school in a very conservative Christian town was a girl. He hid it from me and everyone else until we were middle aged. She knew she was a girl when she was three and it scared the hell out of her. Her family figured it out and all gave her hell. What struck me was that...

20% of k-12 teachers in the US would be 800,000 guns in our schools being carried by people who are already overloaded with tasks and students. That is 800,000 guns that will need to be constantly monitored and secured perfectly lest they fall into the wrong hands. In the event of an active...

Dumping hydrocarbons on the ground would be a good way to end up drinking them later.

I have a water well. Amdro may be safer.

Sure it can but why? How many trash barrels are started with gas every day? How many barbecue grills? I was starting charcoal. My friend was starting a brush fire. I wouldn't start a charcoal fire with oil, that's what starter fluid is for. I started literally a hundred charcoal fires with gas...
