On This Day In History

[abaris]

Two infamous dates in one go.

November 9th 1923, Hitler's beer hall Putsch in Munich. November 9th 1938, the so called night of broken glass. The first major pogrom against the jewish population in nazi Germany.

#3: Opening of the Berlin wall  1989



#4 1918: Proclamation of the first german republic



But we cant have that, cant celebrate #3 and 4, because of #1 and 2#. We also cant call #2 "Kristallnacht" because some people may feel offended.
Let me put it this way: Political correctness has come a long way.

I ignore "political correctness" so far as I can. But both dates are infamous and should be remembered, though. Horrible things can start from smaller initial actions. Thank you for reminding us of the event of this date in history. We need to remain aware that events not much noticed at the time can have larger consequences in the future.

A day to remember the dead and to be thankful.

Optimism for the future. I think not.

The same chemicals that give cannabis its distinct smell may be contributing to air pollution and affecting human health. Recent tests of four cannabis grow facilities in Nevada and California found that the plants naturally release compounds that, when they accumulate in the air, create smog.

I'm OK with that, can't be anywhere near the pollution created by the rest of farming.

In response to the news that weed was now available to all, I added  at the end then decided it wasn't necessary so I deleted it.

Maybe I should have left it in.



I was referring to clouds of cannabis smoke.

Stoners are less likely to drive. That's a plus, innit?
