Thoughts on The Second Day of Winter
Dec. 22nd, 2014 10:46 amA Serious Thought: Police
It should be obvious, but in case it isn't, I am no more in favor of random people randomly shooting police than I am of police randomly shooting people. Also, calling for "justice" for the victim of a police shooting is not the same as calling for violence against police.
Regarding the NYPD's apparent heartburn with the Mayor: We live in a democracy, and government officials including the police work for the people. The people elect representatives to represent them. The Mayor represents and is therefore the boss of the police. It is not only the right but the duty of any boss to investigate and make sure that their subordinates are conducting themselves appropriately.
Less Serious Thought #1 - Ascension Night 3
I finally watched night three of SyFy's Ascension. I found no real surprises.
Less Serious Thought #2 - Guardians of the Galaxy
I also watched Guardians of the Galaxy on pay-per-view. Man, that was a really entertaining movie! Yeah, the science and the villains were comic-book cardboard, but done entertainingly. It moved up on my Hugo list.
