Marietta’s first settlers had to find their own food. No supermarkets or convenience stores then. Some foodstuffs could be brought in from the east but not enough to survive on. Fortunately, the new territory was a hunting and fishing paradise. Colonel Joseph Barker’s journals provide ...
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.” — George Orwell Silicon Valley wants to control every single aspect of your life. They want to tell you what you can and can’t think. They want to control your movements. They want to monitor your every word.

I know data centers are essential to our everyday lives and national security. “No data centers” anywhere is irresponsible and dangerous. This candidate was defeated. Ways ...
