Has Memorial Day lost it's meaning?
I very much enjoy camping the camping trips we make this weekend. Even so, I'd like to see memorial day moved back to May 30th even more.
In Green Bay: Traditional Memorial Day services: 6:30 p.m. May 30. At 6 p.m. 20 plus veteran organizations line up colors at the Chamber of Commerce water front, 400 S. Washington St. Remarks made by Mayor Jim Schmitt. Guest speaker is Russel Buhr, Sons of American Revolutions. Chaplain is Pastor Paul Garrison of Spring Lake Church. The ship's bell of the 1903 USS Des Moines will toll once for each organization placing a wreath. Firing squad is VVA Chapter 224. Sponsored by the United Patriotic Society of Green Bay and hosted by the Daughters of American Revolution. I went to this solemn event last year and am glad I did.

Bloviate - Word of the Day
Bloviate - to speak pompously and excessively
Honestly, most folks are guilty of this from time to time.
The thing that people who do it too often seem to miss is that bloviation hurts their case when trying to persuade toward valid positions on genuinely held beliefs. For example.

Segregation...
...leads to rights for women? I can see that it probably is more comfortable and convenient in many ways.

Global warming due to increased sun energy?
Mars is warming too.
Now the question is if the Earth is warming faster than Mars with the rates proportionally adjusted for distance from the sun and other variables, no? I wonder if current science good enough to get even a ballpark answer.
I still think that taking massive amounts of carbon out of the ground and releasing it in the atmosphere has to have some impact.
