International Women's Day!
I'm baffled by the fact that it's illegal to cross the street except on the crossings when there is a green light in the US. How do you ever get anywhere in time. In Copenhagen they seem to have solved the problem of illegal peeing by removing suitable bushes and trees. So now all the drunks piss in our doorways.

Ukraine Redux
True enough, but if we insist on playing by the rules and leverage sanctions and diplomacy against those who refuse. It's something I guess. Serbians were guilty of war crimes, but the bombing campaign was leveled against infrastructure and communications. Serbian civilians were affected. Not as bad as putting people in mass graves, but not a good solution either. Western forces should have had the stones to occupy the whole former Ugoslavia and make sure things played out fair. Hindsight being perfect and everything.

Ukraine Redux
Besides, they aren't being asked about independence from Uktaine, that will happen regardless as has already been pointed out. Holding a referendum now with tensions high is also irresponsible. There is no pressing need except for a phony one created by Russia. Remember the fake exodus story. The Russian forgein minister recently stated that the crisis was 'manufactured' by the west. Clearly it is the other way around with Russia creating the situation in which they can snatch Crimea from a country weakened by internal strife.

Kirk seems dangerously stupid. He can do one thing well, play chicken with hostile spaceships, but surely there is more to being commander of the Enterprise than being unpredictable. Spock is imminently more qualified.

There is no force on earth that can just cancel out gravity unfortunately. Not now and not in 1000 years.

Ukraine burns
What wrong? All military objects on Crimean territory under control of Crimean people now. Crimean selfdefence defend this property, but Ukrainians try make provocations. Guards do everythig right. Do you think crowd can go into any military base in Europe without permission and guards don't begin shoting in this situation? If yes - you are too naive. As I understand it Crimean politicians simply declared that they wanted autonomy and Russian aid. No election. Until democratic legitimacy is restored the best thing would have been to stay away. Securing the bases could easily have been achieved without an occupation force, and that's what they are protesting. Not that there are Russian troops in Russian owned bases.
