It turned out to be not
much of a thing for Oahu. In fact we had our Mensa Hawaii Annual
Beach Party yesterday. It didn't even rain at the beach that I had
chosen for it. We barbecued and enjoyed the day.
Aloha,

1.?
This one is from a contributor.? I think the answer is a
question of degree - I am more suspicious of entities that
I can not engage with and even more with ones that I
suspect are created out of whole cloth.
2.? The question really is what information is available
and whether or not any individual is allowed to use that
knowledge to make decisions.? This one comes from a book I
am reading where the theory was posited that denying
employers the ability to look at criminal records means
certain groups of people are unfairly excluded because
there is a higher rate of criminal convictions within that
group.? In this instance lack of information drives
prejudice.
3.? RFK dropping out is probably going to help Trump but
not as much as it would if all Kennedy voters went for
Trump.? A certain proportion are going to go for Harris
and probably a higher proportion are either going to
writein a third party candidate or just not cast a vote.
4.? Can't remember the question.
5.? After looking at replies - I think the Middle East and
all the associated problems are going to be the center of
attention for the next hundred years.? Apparently the
Houthis have won their war - even the Russians are
avoiding the Suez Canal.
