The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Males Take Another Hit


For John, BLUFThe statistics suggest we are disadvantaging our young males.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

This is a rant from the blog Zero Hedge, which Law Professor Glenn Reynolds (The Instapundit) linked to.  In fact, the Zero Hedge post was a lift from Mr Michael Snyder and The Economic Collapse blog.  It is a rant, but that doesn't mean there aren't facts of interest present.  The title is:

"32 Facts That Show How Men Are Being Systematically Emasculated In America Today"

Several of it items ring true to me and several of them raise interesting questions about how accurate our views of the current situation really are.

There is this at Item 9:

According to one very surprising study, "young, urban, childless women" make more money in America today than young, urban, childless men do.
Frankly, it is good to see women getting a fair wage, although the sociology of the disparity in the recent past is probably one of those political correctness areas that will not be explored for another 200 years.

Number 15 is one I have contributed to in the past.

Males account for approximately 70 percent of all Ds and Fs in U.S. public schools.
Back to my original source, Professor Reynolds, his comment was:
HEY, SOMEONE SHOULD WRITE A BOOK ON THIS
Notwithstanding some clowning around, there are some serious issues about how this society understands men and their roles in this society.  We are, it seems to me, way out on an ocean for which we have no charts.  Are we going to find new lands of wonder or are we just going to end up exploiting a new different group of people?
