Overnight Open Thread (4-29-2012)Sunday, Sunday Sunday! Twenty Years Ago: The LA Riots It was 20 years ago on April 29, 1992 that the Los Angeles riots began. At the time I was living just a few miles north of the epicenter and the riots forever colored my views on social unrest. Since then I have almost no tolerance for it and I've sworn to never be unarmed again. Most people can still recall the beating of truck driver Reginald Denny. I remember it well plus the fact that I had passed through the same intersection just a few days before ![]() Here Neo-neocon points out that even among the violence and mayhem there were real heroes who stepped up to save Denny: "I was just helping a person who was in need"
Here's a video of the Denny beating: And here is why certain blocks were not attacked: A Dose of Optimism: American Companies Going Strong Critics are always predicting the collapse of the Anglo-American capitalist model but somehow it never seems to happen. To hear the doomsayers from a few years back tell it, this competitive capitalist model was inherently unstable and prone to collapse; the recession was just the final nail in the coffin. Overall, though, the Journal found that S&P 500 companies have become more efficient-and more productive. In 2007, the companies generated an average of $378,000 in revenue for every employee on their payrolls. Last year, that figure rose to $420,000. Which means that when the world economy does start to recover, the US will be primed to take best advantage of it. These are the first five of a series. Sadly I've only read 1.5 of these so far. Here at EveryGuyed we've debated and discussed some books that every man should read at some point in his life; books that speak to our past, present and future selves. These are the first 5 selections in a weekly series that will total 50 books in all. 8 Old-School Diseases Making a Comeback And note that two of these are coming back purely due to cultural/political reasons. And that syphilis was almost killed off just a decade ago: The discovery of penicillin in 1943 as well as a greater awareness of the dangers of unprotected sex led to increasingly fewer people presenting symptoms of the disease. In 2000, public health officials announced that syphilis was almost completely eradicated in the US. But over the next decade the number of people testing positive more than doubled. This comment appeared in the Daily Mail UK. Time and time again, it has been shown that the school's league tables are routinely fiddled in order to benefit this or that school. At the same time, our so-called education system - ruined by lefty, progressive teaching methods - can barely teach our children to write English properly. If your a younger reader, you probably didn't even notice the two deliberate mistakes in this comment. Can you spot the errors? Remembering the Violent Femmes This post reminded me that it's been eons since I last listened to the Violent Femme's debut album. So I did and guess what - it's still pretty dang awesome. Here's just a taste: Don't hide the tiger.
