Off Topic: YouTube did something weird, and more than once.

No politics here. I have a playlist of two versions of “An American Trilogy.” One is the Elvis Presley version from Hawaii in 1973, and the other is Manowar’s soft metal version. For some reason, when I select one from the playlist, it will show the other as the channel. And this has repeated itself. Screenshots below.

How the hell does this sort of thing happen? And as I said, it repeated itself.



Playlist HERE. Terrific song, and I recommend both versions.

No, we don’t need to help other countries for free, because we already do — to wit, textbooks.

In addition to providing security directly and indirectly to those less fortunate, we see that just like with pharmaceuticals, it is the American consumer who has been subsidizing foreigners. We pay more for our stuff so the companies can sell them for less overseas. Those foreign countries should be thanking us.
