Random Thoughts for Jan 16, 2016 - unannotated

Once again, I owe my followers and readers an apology ... the old Walrus is under the weather and not to doing a decent job of annotating this list.  However, I feel it necessary to get these discussion pieces out there. I offer essays from all sides of the spectrum, some I agree with, many I do not. You know my bent, if you follow me, so I hope you can infer my commentary after reading these articles. I hope soon to lick what ever it is that has set up shop and besieged my body and brain of late. Please, do accept my limitations for now.

For readers' reference

Now, on to the list ... I hope you find them enlightening.
