With my luck, the elixir of immortality will be announced the day after I die.

You just reminded me of a line in a song lyric written by a friend of mine (or a fiend of mine even). “When I found out Frank Beard had no beard I could only think but how how how could that be” before breaking into a hardcore version of La Grange. You know what I’m talking about 🙂

Interesting. Plus, the guy does like father time.

Reg,

Aubrey packed a lot into a little time. I took notes from him and hope with the help of his Sens Foundation, to dodge lots of bullets and maybe undo damage as well.

Reg,

That song does seem to go on and on and on there at the non-lyrical, instrumental last. 🙂

A friend of mine reckons Aubrey de Gray must like the song “I am the Resurrection” by the excellent Stone Roses 🙂

@TheEncogitationer – I have followed Aubrey de Grey for a long time now. He is always interesting to hear from.

Almost everybody should be able to see the Super Blood Moon tonight or early Monday morning no matter where you are living.

Thanks, Reg!

It feels like ‘free speech’ is being thrown in as an argument where it doesn’t belong. If I’m not seen turning guests away from my home, does that mean I am legally obligated to play host to Latter Day Saints? Does that become their private speech in my residence? Admittedly, I’m approaching slippery slope territory. That’s not what the court d…[Read more]

The court’s opinion seems to uphold that it is the city’s prerogative, as long as they make a consistent policy of approving what flags to or do not go up.

But I agree the distinction you’ve made stands. Weak enforcement of use doesn’t make the flag pole de facto private use or private speech. Or at least it shouldn’t.
