Elon Musk
Elon Musk is a visionary thinker who someday may be thought of in the same category as Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. His idea for a high speed tube from Northern California to the Los Angeles is a concept difficult to imagine ever coming to fruition, as were the ideas of Ford and Edison. However, their ideas did spring from the drawing board to reality and we are much the better for it.
I suggest that the Southern California terminus be Disneyland. Walt Disney was another visionary genius who would have had great appreciation for the mind of Mr. Musk. If Walt was still alive, I believe that he would be a primary backer for the high speed tube. Genius plus genius equals a great new world.
Carry on, Elon!

ANTHONY WEINER
Rarely does a person have a name that is perfectly suited for them.
Or. did the name make the man?
Who protects Anthony? Does he have a bawdy guard?

SFO crash
Sounds like pilot incompetence. I there is any evidence that this is true, his license should be revoked. Forever.

RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT
Our FOUNDING FATHERS were brilliant in their desire that there be no undue religious influence on the United States government. The latest example of their brilliance is the bru-ha-ha in Egypt.
Seperation of Church and State is absolutley essential for democracy to survive and thrive. When the Priests take over, Democracy will die. AMEN.

N Word
Regarding Paula Deen and her admitted use of a racial slur word, I will lay out the truth for you. There are 2 kinds of people. Those that admit to using the "N" word, and bald faced liars. Now, the time has come to wakeup and shutup. Be kind to all people, and people will be kind to you.
LATER
I think it's possible to use a word until it looses much of it's power. This old HONKY grew up in the South. If I said "Nigger", my Mother would wash my mouth out with soap. We had a young black woman working as a maid and caretaker of me and my younger brother. She made me angry one day and I called her a nigger. She said in return, "just wait 'til your mother comes home". I was terrified. I knew that I had a whipping coming with a switch from a gnarly bush in the yard. Lucky for me, she didn't tell mother, and I went out of my way to be nice to her from that day on.
One additional memory. The time frame is in the mid 1940"s. Mother, Dad, my brother and I went to visit her at her home one day. Her home was a log cabin in the woods west of Salem, VA. Truly! No electricity or running water. Candles at night. A bucket in the well for water. This was about 68 years ago. I can still visualize it.
