I thought that this might be interesting to the readers here given the recent encounters between local citizens and law enforcement. Apparently the United States rate of incarceration is leaps and bounds above the rest of the world, with China coming in a distant second. Here is the direct link to the report. www.pewtrusts.org/news_room_ektid35890

Been studying to take the basic Technician class ham license. I have found a local amateur radio club as well and will be getting in touch with them. Anyone else here have an interest in ham radios? I want to install a station on the boat of course and have a system to take to Alaska with me to use with a packet radio system.

The Olympia city council is rightly shy of opening up debate over the repeal of Olympia’s Anti-nuclear ordinance. As the editorial of March 1st correctly observed “they (the council) are loathe to even bring the issue up because it is seen as a divisive, national issue that will only drive wedges in the community.” Such a debate will be divisive and distract the council from much more pressing issues. And yet the editorial goes on to call for just such divisiveness. Why this apparent contradiction? Money my dear reader, the ethics-free pursuit of filthy lucre as performed by our paper of record the Daily Zero. Witness the latest case study of our so-called newspaper’s practice of the fine art of yellow journalism. Here are a couple examples. I’m sure my readers can name at least one issue the Olympian has mangled or chosen not to cover at all.
