Professor hale has a great piece of Climate Change. Additionally, mr B has a link to a great smackdown of the Gloebull Warmening crowd by none other than the man who STARTED the weather channel, John Coleman.

You should read the piece by Dr Hale and watch the video by John Coleman. Both are spot on.

One of the club members and an LEO gave a brief- maybe half hour- introductory presentation on self defense against attackers armed with knives.

A couple of salient points:

10% of gunshot wounds are fatal. 30% of knife wounds are fatal.
Guns are a recently introduced tool, in the scheme of human history. We have been hardwired to attack with knives (all the way back to sharp sticks) for a million years, we can attack with a knife instinctively. Learning how to defend against those attacks can also be instinctive, if you train yourself to get out of the line of attack.
A knife fight can just look like a fistfight until the blood starts flowing
Get off the killing floor. In any altercation there is an area where killing can or may take place, train yourself to recognize these places and stay the hell out ofthem,or have an escape route out of them.

These are all pretty simple things that seem pretty commonsense, but the demonstrations he gave really did open my eyes. There are some other resources, he says, that he will share and I will take advantage of.
