job world vs spring break-update on various

I know you are waiting for the third in a series Hologram Lecture.  That has been put on hold by a recent dark matter diversion which has everyone looking in the wrong direction again.  How long must I put up with this!
Terrorism reared its ugly, wrong-godded head in the United States again but it is everywhere.  We are taking turns with domestic terrorism and foreign terrorism and I'll use this opportunity to talk about gun control.
First, let me say that a back ground check every once in a while never killed anyone.  On the other hand, governments have killed more of their own citizens than the crazies with guns.  I dare say things might eventually get to the point where we're all wearing six guns if things keep deteriorating, but downtown new york would still be safer than downtown anywhere in Syria.  While assault weapons in the hands of wackos are going to kill a lot of people, if you have an unarmed population, you're putting your safety in the hands of government and the armenian death marches, the holocaust and the russian purges of the false communism of Lenin and Stalin and the American wars against the native americans show that governments are the danger to large blocks of the population and not the one or two nuts with guns, nor the crazies with their bombs.  This does not mean that we shouldn't take down the bastards who kill using bomb just like we shouldn't treat someone who does mass murder as crazy just because they are.  Revenge isn't built into our minds because it's a survival trait to kill, it's built into it to cull the population of those who take away more than they contribute.
If we can ever figure out a way to disarm our governments and the crazies with their bombs and agendas, maybe we need to disarm the public, but not necessarily today.
I hope everyone has a peaceful night tonight, but somewhere out there a government is killing more people than all the religious zealots.  And truth be known, if the USA had not so badly abused our role as world leader especially towards the middle east, we probably wouldn't be in this jar of ethical pickles.  We can make amends and if we don't we'll fade against a wall of China.
More on this later.
