Today I learned...

Came across this in the last couple of days. Not sure how to take. I know isotopic analysis, When I was in college not a thing now it is.


 
One-time president of the National Rifle Association, Charlton Heston was a self-declared liberal Democrat. He refused to work with John Wayne due to his conservative views.

Heston's political stance seems contradictory to his famous quote,
"I'll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands."
 
Just watched a video on Canadians fighting in Afghanistan, basically repeat of how the fought in first and second world wars. Our soldiers are like honey badgers, do not screw with them. Better example is wolverine. saw a video of a dead bear killed by a mating pair of wolverines. Yes we like cold, dark. Incidentally my son ang his buddies go winter camping, every year, slept in pickup truck last year did not use cabin and wood stove too much work SIster did this when working as geologist. told me how to do it no sleeping bag blankets better, as over time sleeping bags tend to stink. Boy is she tough, all male crew only, woman, she was the boss. No her name is not Olga. Long blonde hair.

I never understood his changes. He seemed so liberal, fighting for race causes, then became something I did not understand.
 
That whole situation seems very strange to Aussies, we don't worship celebrities the way you do and we don't know what any of their political stances are. None of them would dare to declare what their stance is as doing so would spell instant death for that party. But in Australia we don't even discuss that with family members, it's considered to be a very personal and private affair which is why celebrities keep their mouths shut. For a celebrity to throw support behind a political party would be very offensive to us no matter who we support in private.

I like that approach better lol. Celebrities would be better off keeping their mouths shut about a number of topics...
 
People on the left think I'm on the right, and vise-versa. What I believe is both a synthesis and revelation of commonalities, but all they see is a straw man who disagrees.
