Georgia

This is an astute analysis of the situation in Georgia, wherein absolutely everyone is shown to be incompetent, corrupt, or both. Well worth a read.

Brad Hicks is a wonderfully compelling writer. But I don't trust him. I used to read his journal a lot, and occasionally objected to what he said, to stunning results.

To give you a specific example, he once asserted, in his wonderfully convincing tone, that people couldn't stand it when the temperature went above 105 degrees, and that midwest cities would evacuate to the hills to deal with it. My objection was that he was incorrect, as people can easily deal with temperatures that high. He disagreed because evaporative [spe?] cooling stops working somewhere around 95+, and therefore our bodies would reach equilibrium with the external temperature and we'd cook to death.

Let alone the fact that plenty of places around the world can see 105+ temperatures regularly in their summer months, and people don't die like flies.

So, my attitude is that he's a great writer because goddamn does he write in an interesting way. But I don't trust a word of it unless he provides sources or it's echoed somewhere that I trust.

Cheers for the heads up!
