"Never ceases to amaze me how less than 15% of the American population can cause so much chaos and mayhem."
I think the black population of the USA is 13%
What amazes me is when I read that 40+% of the population of major US cities like New Orleans, Chicago, Detroit & etc. cannot read or write. We spend huge amounts of money on education in these cities.

"Hamas is to Gaza what the Democrat Party is to cities on the northeast, west and Great Lakes coasts. They may resent the suffering, but they will get voted back into office."
I'm amazed that 77% of Jews and 70% of Asians voted for Joe Biden last election.

"The street price for a stolen Selectric in DC was about $200 in the early 70s. They were relatively easy to acquire."
I remember in the late 70's, maybe early eighties wandering around the TI warehouse when I came across a big wire cage of nothing but IBM Selectric typewritters just tossed in there in a big pile, all helter skelter.
Not long after, I remember arriving to work with 2-3 technicians in my office. When I asked what they were doing, they said "installing your computer, everyone at you level and above must have a computer on their desk". Few of us knew anything about computers.
"1. The Negritos-Perhaps they were the first of the racial groups that came to India. They got settled in the hilly areas of Kerala and the Andaman Islands. Kadar, Irula and Puliyan tribes of Kerala resemble to a great extent with the Negritos. They are related to Africa, Australia and their neighbouring islands. The Negritos have black (dark) skin, woolly hair, broad and flat nose and slightly protruded jaws."
