For me, I don't have a tablet, and my Kindle doesn't do Google. And my bed is my best reading place; so opposite to a day's reading sitting up behind a monitor.

Very cool. And, definitely something you can read a few times.
I like the complexity of the ideas that they in turn make more ideas arise.

I did.

If you can't figure out the tempo, perhaps you should give it a rest.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The US presidential election is not only about the president, but a lot about local initiatives.
Such local ballot include Marijuana legalization, LGBT issues, Minimal wages...
So what did you vote for yesterday ?

Here in Illinois we had a referendum to force our government to use transportation generated tax money only for transportation / infrastructure projects. They have been dipping into the proverbial cookie jar for decades while the roads and bridges suffer.
Looks like it passed with an 80% vote.

Here in Oregon, there was a measure for outdoor school that passed -- basically, get the kids into the outdoors for a week where they can learn what's outside their computers and game machines.
Popular enough to pass, but probably not everybody's cup 'O tea (especially the kids, who got no vote on the matter).

That's pretty much the description of any election around here -- there's always some big ballot measure -- although I suspect I know which one you're specifically referring to

Well, we parents did pretty much do this to our kids. Have third graders walk 8 blocks to school? No way, they should ride a school bus if its that far. Let the kids walk three blocks and cross a highway to get to the beach to play? No way, let me drive you.
I feel sorry for kids today, they get nannied practically to the point of agoraphobia. I'm just glad I grew up in a time when letting your kids do that sort of stuff was acceptable.
