[FRIAM] Pause the Show

[Marcus Daniels]

I have little interest in that [†], but I think we should get (from insurance) full genome sequencing and analysis as we don't benefit from lookahead concerning heredity.   Similarly, I find all this enthusiasm about services like ancestry.com kind of strange, even a little narcissistic.   Better to look at people like poor Mr. Floyd who are less like us to inform us about life.

    A friend of mine (whose politics lean slightly right but, you know, he's black so slightly left too) specifically bought his rifle and works on his marksmanship *because* black men with guns scare the bejesus out of us white dudes. He and I sporadically spar about skin color and its impact on development. And I think he really wanted me to react viscerally to him showing off his rifle. Luckily I'm a cold-hearted and callous bastard [†] and only reacted by complimenting his prowess. I feel the same way about liberals with guns. And there also seems to be a paucity of black motorcycle clubs. Why are all biker bars filled with fat, bearded, racists?
