  • I applied in Canada to a Law Enforcement program with a past-secondary institution.

    I was told by a VERY senior member of the force (family friend) that I was simply too smart for the rank and file and was consequently turned down. He said “…they don’t want people who will think for themselves and question their orders. The whole point is to have force who will follow the rules without question. You don’t fit that mold”. The “rules” in this case is really just the police culture, and status quo.

    The man who told me this, rose to Police Chief of a Major Canadian city from uniformed officer. Retired now.

    I believe him.

    Dumb soldiers who apply force when told. That’s what they want, …mostly.







  • My understanding is fermented foods have good microbes in them. They are, essentially, alive.

    If you pasteurize them, it kills off those communities. The heat won’t distinguish between good and bad microbes so it’s all dead after fermentation.

    We pasteurize milk to kill the bad microbes (feacal colliforms, food poisoning, etc.) for mass production. It works well, …very well. It’s needed at that scale, period. But if you are looking for the living microbes, it can’t be pasteurized.
