A Waste of Time!

It’s a waste of time to use statistics to prove that blacks are more likely to suffer violence at the hands of the police than others.  A no brainer.

It’s a waste of time to wait for the Wall Street Journal to provide evenhanded political coverage.  Or, on the other side, Salon.

It’s a waste of time to expect Bill O’Reilly to be other than an egotistical blowhard.

It’s a waste of time to expect that getting your license renewed at the DMV will be a pleasant experience.

It’s a waste of time to think your airline miles will get you a free business class seat to Europe.

It’s a waste of time to expect a Giants fan to give the Dodgers a break.  And vice versa.  Same for Red Sox/Yankees fans.  Go Giants!

It’s a waste of time to try and curtail the flow of drugs into the U.S. so long as we are the world’s #1 marketplace.

It’s a waste of time to predict we can control the machines we’ve created that can outthink us.  Artificial intelligence rules.

Likewise, it’s a waste of time to think that gene manipulation can be controlled.  Natural evolution will continue, but at a slower pace than its rivals.

Have a nice day!
