It&#8217;s absurd. It&#8217;s an inversion of core American principles.

They are quite solid and quite pointy. I really would not like to get hit from one of these falling 40 feet from a tree. It is even worse in the Spring. The tree drops these pinecones that are even bigger and green. Very deadly. I am sure if you stuck this thing on the end of a stick, it would make a great medieval weapon.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever I pick up these metorite-like pine cones, I contemplate the possibility of getting beaned by one. How bad would that hurt? Should I pick up dog poop faster? Well, you know where this goes next. The best way to avoid a collision is to go inside and write a blog post about it.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/physics\">physics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/dot-physics\">dot-physics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/math\">math<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/education\">education<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/estimation\">estimation<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A presumption of guilt makes people angry : Thoughts from Kansas &#8220;The virtual strip searches and actual pat-downs now performed by TSA are not selective.
