Opinions

Since this is a vanity site, you could call everything "opinions". I guess I wanted to give people some indication that this section has more controversial stuff: the sort of thing one is encouraged not to discuss at a dinner party because the guests will come to blows.

You should be aware of the following hints on navigation:

Postings are presented in REVERSE chronological order
For a clickable list of topics, refer to the "Site map" in the left-hand navigation pane
If you click an upper-level topic, the system will *also* display lower-level topics, up to some limit
Changes in my site setup are listed under the "Chrome" topic.

Drug-sniffing dogs are another government lie

Like many people on this planet, I have actually observed dogs. So I was always suspicious of stories about "drug-sniffing" and "bomb-sniffing" dogs. Dogs are like dowsing: they will tell you anything they think you want to hear. After a while, I concluded that dogs were being used as a convenient excuse for otherwise miraculous searches: "Yes your honor, Bozo the Wonder Dog sniffed the heroin through three layers of plastic, an inch of clear resin encapsulation, a fibreglass shell and the fender, and it wasn't based on a tipoff from our informant who would like to eliminate competition on his drug import business, heavens to betsy."

Here's a webpage from an attorney who has a similarly jaundiced view of the thin blue line that defends our society from anarchy: rexcurry.net [http://rexcurry.net/drugdogsmain.html]
