They
“I’ll tell you what they don’t want. They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking and they don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests.”

If you enjoy the arrogant and patronizing air of the northern Chicago suburbs and relentless, unnecessary references to the Chicago Cubs then you’ll LOVE Lake Geneva, Wisconsin!
That wasn’t their job
From Google:
Witnesses said the deputy threw a towel on the alligator, jumped on its back and tried to wrestle it. Baughman was thrown off the back and then bitten, witnesses said.
“His pants ripped up and blood was gushing out and everything,” witness Carlos Martinez said. “He started limping away and the alligator was laughing at him. The dude then shot it twice in the head.”
The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said a second officer, Deputy Jason Stickles, 27, shot the alligator repeatedly.
“I said, ‘Don’t shoot it,’” witness Jasmin Harris said. “Just wait until the animal people come out. I don’t know why they shot it in the first place. They shouldn’t have jumped on it. That wasn’t their job.”
Out of touch
I’m not sure who’s more out of touch with the average American; our government or Hollywood. Though what’s most interesting is how both entities seem to believe they actually are relevant to the rest of us.
Apathy?
Maurin and I just bought one way tickets to Venezuela and nobody seems excited about it.

No way!

I feel like a tourist
Labaugh Woods
From Google:
“As part of their search, Grand Central Area detectives along with a K-9 unit searched the area in the LaBaugh Woods Forest Preserve Friday morning and found Kolakowski conscious, lying in underbrush. He had apparently fallen and was unable to get up.”
“She also pointed out to me that this area and LaBaugh Woods were great places for warblers in the spring.”
“I was riding through LaBaugh Woods on the northside of Chicago. The trails are interrupted by train tracks and as I was making my way up, I noticed a person walking on the tracks up above.
When I was almost at the top, the guy passed by in front of me and I noticed he was holding a pair of jeans. I took a second look and saw that he was naked from the waist down. He was just walking casually and nonchalantly as if he were in his house. This is about 5pm with the sun shining brightly. I just shook my head in disbelief and kept going.”
Bells beer is the best beer.
