George H.W. Bush 1991 University of Michigan Commencement Speech on “Political Correctness”

“Ironically, on the 200th anniversary of our Bill of Rights, we find free speech under assault throughout the United States, including on some college campuses. The notion of political correctness has ignited controversy across the land. And although the movement arises from the laudable desire to sweep away the debris of racism and sexism and hatred, it replaces old prejudice with new ones. It declares certain topics off-limits, certain expression off-limits, even certain gestures off-limits.”

Dogs and Agriculture

Dogs have been bred for a variety of purposes throughout history, including as working animals to support agriculture. Dogs have been bred for specific traits that make them well-suited to work on farms, such as intelligence, obedience, strength, and endurance*.

Supported by funding from the European Research Council and the Natural Environment Research Council, a large international team of scientists compared genetic data with existing archaeological evidence and show that man’s best friend may have emerged independently from two separate (possibly now extinct) wolf populations that lived on opposite sides of the Eurasian continent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Here are a few examples of how dogs were bred to support agriculture:

Herding dogs: Dogs such as the Border Collie, Australian Cattle Dog, and German Shepherd were bred to help farmers manage livestock by herding them from one place to another. These dogs have a natural instinct to gather and control herds of animals, and they can be trained to respond to a farmer’s commands.

Hunting dogs: Many breeds of dogs, such as the Labrador Retriever, were originally bred as hunting dogs to assist farmers with hunting game for food. These dogs have a keen sense of smell and are skilled at tracking and retrieving prey.

Guard dogs: Certain breeds of dogs, such as the Great Pyrenees, were bred to protect livestock from predators such as wolves and bears. These dogs are fiercely protective of their flock and will guard them from any perceived threat.

Draft dogs: Some large breeds of dogs, such as the Bernese Mountain Dog and the Saint Bernard, were bred to pull carts and wagons on farms. These dogs are strong and muscular and can move heavy loads across long distances.

Overall, dogs have been bred for centuries to support agriculture in a variety of ways. Their intelligence, loyalty, and hardworking nature have made them invaluable assets to farmers and have helped to shape the course of human history.

Self Reliance: Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Self-Reliance” by Ralph Waldo Emerson is an essay that emphasizes individualism, nonconformity, and the importance of trusting one’s own instincts. Here are some passages from this influential accomplishment that informs American culture:

“Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.”

” A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.”

“To be great is to be misunderstood.”

“Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.”

“Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.”

These excerpts capture the essence of Emerson’s philosophy in “Self-Reliance,” promoting the idea of individualism, self-trust, and the pursuit of one’s unique path in life. 

We have avoided listing interpretations offered by artificial intelligence algorithms because those algorithms are informed by at least one-hundred years of biased interpretation by scholars funded by the US federal government which has long since grown hostile to individualism; worthy coffee-house debate.  We recommend you consult the original text, linked above.

Cowboy Coffee

“We wish to suggest a structure

for the salt of deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA).

This structure has novel features

which are of considerable biological interest….”

James Watson | “Nature” April 1953

This simple method preparing hot coffee evolved from open flame; out on the range.  The result is a strong, robust cup that retains grittiness due to the coarse grind and the absence of a filter. Cowboy coffee is more about utility and simplicity rather than precision and refinement, which aligns with the rugged and practical nature of cowboy life.  Here’s how it’s typically made:

Ingredients:

Coarsely ground coffee beans, water.

Equipment:

A pot (often a simple metal or enamel coffee pot), a heat source (campfire or portable stove), and a way to separate the grounds from the liquid (like pouring or using a fine mesh strainer).

Process:

Add coarsely ground coffee to the pot. The amount can vary based on personal preference, but it’s generally a couple of tablespoons of coffee per cup of water.

Add water to the pot. Again, the ratio of coffee to water can be adjusted based on taste preferences.

Place the pot on the heat source and bring it to a near-boil. Watch it carefully to avoid boiling over.

Once it’s heated, let it steep for a few minutes. Some cowboys might toss in a crushed eggshell to help settle the grounds.

Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for a moment to allow the coffee grounds to settle.

Pour the coffee carefully to avoid pouring the grounds into your cup.

Locals swear by it:

“Cowboy coffee ain’t as easy as it looks. It takes some know-how to make it right.” – Unknown

“You can’t compromise with a cup of weak coffee.” – Cowboy Proverb

“There are only two things that a cowboy can’t do without – his horse and his coffee.” – Unknown

“A cowboy’s day starts with coffee and ends with whiskey.” – Unknown

“Life is too short for bad coffee.” – Unknown

“Cowboy coffee: where the grounds are meant to be chewed, not sipped.” – Unknown
