(Everybody thinks the NorthWET gets colossal amounts of rain, and in some places (like, um, where I live) it does. But Seattle&#8217;s rain is roughly equivalent to New York&#8217;s. It just tends to fall slowly but steadily instead of in infrequent but dramatic bursts.)\n<li>This is the sort of black-and-white thinking that really, really bugs me (both inside and outside of libertaria). Just because someone (in this case a pair of very prominent people) <a href=\"http:\/\/mynewsla.com\/hollywood\/2017\/02\/15\/de-niro-bobby-kennedy-son-offer-100k-for-anti-vaccine-journalism\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>asks for evidence of status-quo claims about vaccines<\/em><\/a> does not make them &#8220;antivaxxers.&#8221; They are skeptics. Offering to finance an inquiry. What kind of benighted benighted mentality condemns skeptical inquiry?\n<li>When there are no consequences to the perpetrators <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/post-nation\/wp\/2017\/02\/15\/video-shows-ohio-officers-pepper-spraying-a-person-in-a-restraint-chair-again\/\" target=\"_blank\">cops will torture helpless people<\/a> again and again.\n<li>Too bad this is just one teeny-tiny town. A judge says ALL speed cameras are unconstitutional and <a href=\"http:\/\/thefreethoughtproject.com\/speed-cameras-unconstitutional-tickets\/\" target=\"_blank\">orders the local gov to repay all tickets<\/a>. A higher court considers this so obviously correct it refuses to review. Nice to see the reign of speed cams and red-light cams collapsing.
