Do You Speak American . Words That Shouldn't Be? . Sez Who? . Slang | PBS:

The Common Denominator
Slang is generally a bit wittier and cleverer than Standard American English according to Tom Dalzell. Slang is everywhere he says — and youth slang, in particular, exerts enormous power.

Why ride fast?

Who cares about drugs? Society with its,that's all of us, hypocritical need to blame someone for something? Everyone is addicted. Society wants to believe its sports heroes are as clean as we delude ourselves into thinking we are. Rubbish!

RAGBRAI was just another venue where riders were trying to beat somebody. If not that they were talking numbers, how fast, how far, how long, wtf is that about?

It is not about speed or numbers, folks. It is a world wide mania teetering on "more."

Complete and unadulterated consumption horseshit.

The alternative: a slow, really slow, ride on a quiet gravel back road. Listen to the birds, stop and count the pebbles in a square decimeter and how long it took you rounded to the nearest hour if you need numbers to talk about, spot a new wild flower, listen to your heart beat when you see something new.

Bicycling is about a tee-totaling different world view.

Don't let speed and flash steal this from you. The criminal capitalistic incarnation of greed is winning now but it will not last. Wake up and sl-o--o---w down. Think subversion! Beat them with their own clubs. It will take some time but the world will thank you even if humans self-destruct!

Wired News - Homestake Lab:

"In addition to the scientific research expected out of the lab, South Dakota stands to gain about $300 million in federal funding and the potential for millions of dollars more in scientific grants to the participating universities. No official cost estimates or staffing levels have been mentioned yet."

South Dakota Science and Technology Authority -:

"The University of California at Berkeley, on behalf of the Homestake Collaboration, submitted the Homestake Conceptual Design Proposal to the NSF last January, 2007."

"In 2002, Dr. Ray Davis received the prize for work conducted over the course of many years. Davis proved that fusion is what provides the energy from the sun. His experiment at Homestake measured solar neutrino flux. "

A fact that is not mentioned in any of the articles is that South Dakota's first Nobel Prize winner, E.O. Lawrence put Berkeley on the physics world map when he went there and invented the cyclotron. The Lawrence-Berkeley Lab is named after him.

Maybe there is some information about the people who get left out of genealogy charts.

Take a look at the sources and you find churches are big players. Right away you can figure there is all kinds of bias. They leave out people for whom there is prejudice,i.e. all the interesting stuff is missing and all the boring people who followed the rules are left. That is pure bullshit.
