There is no discussion point so obvious as to escape the need for explanation. If someone claims that a point is so obvious that they refuse to provide further explanation, then their point is probably not true at all.
Attack it. It is the weakness in their argument, and their entire argument likely depends on it's survival. Destroy their false centerpoint, and their argument crumbles.

Study: No temperature acceleration in 23 years.
Climate researchers at the University of Alabama at Huntsville have conducted a study that shows there has been virtually no acceleration in global temperatures in the last 23 years, and that the slight alterations in temperature are due solely to volcanic activity.
As if we needed more evidence that the climate change hysteria is a bunch of bull.

Aesop shows Darwin for the ignoramus that he was.
Here we have a solid takedown of Charles Darwin by fellow blogger Aesop. Thoughtful and to the point, and far beyond most amateur Darwinist's capabilities of debate. Most of the proponents of the evolutionary theory you find in your neighborhood will decline to debate you if you make Aesop's points with the detail that he has, and will instead simply accuse you of such awesome ignorance that they would only be wasting their time. In their own mind, declining to even discuss is a victory... For them.
Funny, that.
Most important is the link to Michael Behe's book near the end, if you read. You should. I own the book, though haven't nearly finished it. It has been moved to the top of my pile now. Thanks Aesop.
And also the nod to the "Cambrian Explosion" (CE). The vast majority of the evolutionary theory proponents in your neighborhood that will argue with you at all will be clueless about the event, because the vast majority of them, while disdainful of YOUR religion, despite having only a cursory understanding of their own beliefs, are blindly adhered to their own religion of Darwinism, itself a form of what Aesop labels "science-ism". He states that upon being asked to explain the CE, your debate opponent will begin fumbling over their words and sweating nervously. I will say that is true, IF (and this is a BIG if) they even have the faintest idea of what the CE is. My money is that at least 80% will not. And I think I'm giving them too much credit. They're likely to brush aside your introduction of the CE simply because they don't know what it is. Introduction of new information can be threatening to them, and since they aren't actually seeking the truth at all, they'll toss it in the garbage simply because YOU, their opponent, brought it into the discussion.
Btw, even the ignoramus Darwin acknowledged the Cambrian Explosion (aka Cambrian Radiation) as possibly the greatest argument AGAINST his own theory.

Counterinsurgency Operations in... Baltimore?
Herschel on the similarities between counterinsurgency and stability operations in Baltimore, and the same in Fallujah.
I understand that the Baltimore police would like to find who killed their man, but local police departments do not possess the authority to place the local citizenry into an "open air prison", complete with checkpoints and "show me your papers" requirements.
And if this neighborhood is so incredibly dangerous that these Fallujah tactics have become necessary, then please tell me why the murdered officer was walking through by himself in the first place? If there is an area of a city that is so terrifyingly dangerous, then stop sending your officers there, especially alone and on foot.

Still here, just very busy.
I am still here and planning to post more when I can, but life has been extremely busy, as I'm sure it is for y'all as well. Normal shift work with additional governance committee memberships on top of it, raising three girls, getting back into Army life via the Reserves, etc.
As far as the Army Reserves, looks like that may be slightly more than the normal "one weekend a month, two weeks a year" schedule, but that's no surprise.
Will get back to posting more regularly when things settle down.
