1. Brandon in MO (Yunitility Infielder) Posted: July 11, 2008 at 07:32 PM (#2853148)Isn't this a wash, at worst?
Solution: Legislate a maximum time for baseball games!
WHITE MAN "CRAZY" PLAYING AT NIGHT, SAYS SQUAW, 105
Sacramento, Calif. - Night baseball puzzles Mrs. Roxie Peconom, 105, who claims this is one of the strangest things she has seen since the white man took over her Indian country. "White man crazy," Mrs. Peconom declared. "Should play ball daytime. Sleep nighttime."
Nothing like a movement that is all about lowering man's quality of life. Global Warming is an utter farce.
All I want is for people to use fewer plastic bags and less toilet water. I am obviously trying to make a buck with my high-profile environmental agenda.
"Greens" - That one made me laugh, for some reason.
EDIT:
"Nothing like a movement that is all about lowering man's quality of life. Global Warming is an utter farce."
Huh? I guess even if I disagree I do follow your larger - if ultimately selfish, in my opinion - point about quality of life. But is Korea playing baseball games during the day instead of at night such a quality of life issue for you that it really deserves such venom?
(Ok, now I'm slamming. :) )
Man, that's some map. I assume that that one light in North Korea is coming from Kim Jong-il's palace. Do you figure he's got the Extra Innings package in order to catch the Cubs?
Maybe the best books to read about how North Koreans think are not the books by terrorized people who have escaped, but the couple of mystery novels by James Church (pseudonym) about regular people trying to fit in in the society. The way they accept having no control over their fate or possessions reminds me of how the Europeans before the Industrial Revolution accepted that they were at the mercy of God. Which is not a good thing, of course.
Sadly, I was unable to figure out what was going on in the plots of the mysteries. Which may have been intentional, but still.
Here's a global version. Besides North Korea, other features that caught my eye were the upper Nile delta and the Trans Siberian Railway.
I noticed others...like the entire island of Java, while the rest of Indonesia is dark except for cities. And the coast of Taiwan facing China is all incredibly bright, but not the rest of Taiwan. And Puerto Rico is by far the brightest Caribbean island. And Buenos Aires is the nexus of what looks like a huge spiderweb of lights.
It's amazing how bright just about all of India is, too. Then it stops dead when it reaches every country to the east. The contrast between west and east China is almost as strong as North versus South Korea.
