The Big Bang and Bernie

Written by editor on 15 January 2016

By Peter Molenaar

A shop called Mayday CafÃ© exists not far from the center of the universe.Â Various political types are found there, including some radicals.

All are welcome.

December 17, 2015”¦

A friend was anxious over a forthcoming exam on the subject of the Big Bang Theory, hence an invite to a pastry with coffee.Â I offered that the totality of matter had not been, for the first half of eternity (!) confined to one small spherical spec, after which, having changed its mind (?) it went BOOM.

Disparities between White Supremacists, Somali-Americans today, and Dakota people 153 years ago

Written by editor on 15 January 2016

BY FRANK ERICKSON

How can White Supremacists who actually tried to kill people, who actually put bullets into five Black men of Black Lives Matter, not be charged with attempted murder”¦yet five Somali”“American men are fighting charges of attempted murder and they never shot anyone; they tried to plan a terrorist attack where they would try to kill people””they only tried to go to Syria to fight for ISIL.

How can White Supremacists who were part of the group who tried to kill people, get to go home after being questioned by the police, because they were not “at the scene of the crime” yet the five Somali-American men were not at any scene of a terrorist act, but they do not get to go home. Â They may face decades in prison.

How can Whites who tried to kill people get lesser charges than Blacks who didn”'t try to kill anyone, but only tried to join a terrorist group?
