Triticale not only knows how to cook, but links to an interesting article about the rise in violence in society. For a while I've noticed that Al Franken's strange behavior is a symptom of something bigger. This article has a good theory, that needs closer looking at.
UPDATE Let me explain that Al Franken comment. Amazon brags that it has an exclusive video to promote Franken's book The Truth (with jokes). "[Amazon tries] to keep things civil in our customer review section, but Al Franken, who apparently trained at the Saturday Night Live school of conflict mediation, didn't get the message in his exclusive video" which shows him beating up a conservative, apparently because Franken can't beat him with logic alone.
I know, "it's just a joke." But why is it funny? That's my main point. And, yes, Franken later got very physical with a heckler, and claimed he only attacked the 63-year-old in the name of "free speech." Yes, really. I'm not saying Franken is the problem. I am saying that Franken is a symptom of a bigger problem.
