Is this a Californian thing? I'm so confused right now.

I love to see this, I've been an anti-traveler my whole life, partly as a knee jerk reaction to those who ascribe moral value to spending a lot of money on fare, food and booze. It's really just vain consumption with different backdrops disguised as cultural enrichment.
Modern transportation has misled us into thinking the world is small, and when you take the time to simply walk somewhere, it really hits you just how vast our world is. I used to hike a considerable amount, and there was a particular lookout tower I was fond of. I made a point of going there all the time, taking different trails, going off trail entirely and once I even got lost in a blizzard-but I knew the general geography so well I knew how to figure out where to go. It struck me how cool that was, and it was only done with lots of exposure to a particular area.
Bearing that in mind, I determined that I could spend the rest of my life exploring my county alone, and such intimacy would make it a worthy endeavor.

What do I need to do to get Telegrammers to leave me alone? Do I need to publish the list of Jews that I like? Will that do it?

Congress has all along been but a clumsy recording machine of conclusions worked out in the laboratory and machine-shop; and yet the idea is still deeply seated in the minds of men otherwise intelligent that, to effect political results, it is necessary to hold office, or at least to be a politician and to be heard from the hustings. Is not the exact reverse more truly the case? The situation may not be, indeed it certainly is not, as it should be; it may be, I hold that it is, unfortunate that the scholar and investigator are finding themselves more and more excluded from public life by the professional with an aptitude for the machine, but the result is none the less patent. On all the issues of real moment,—issues affecting anything more than a division of the spoils or the concession of some privilege of exaction from the community, it is the student, the man of affairs and the scientist who to-day, in last resort, closes debate and shapes public policy. His is the last word.

I can't help but feel like I've seen a system like this somewhere before.... Hmm....

I've compiled a list of 10 arguments against the abolition of slavery:
"Dude, think about it..."
1. "Slavery is just natural, man — how can you make nature illegal?"
2. "Prohibition never works — just look at alcohol in the 1920s. Making slavery illegal just creates a black market for slaves and, thus, organized crime."
3. "Bro, if people are gonna own slaves anyway, wouldn't it be safer if it was regulated? At least then we'd have quality control."
4. "Tax revenue from legal slavery could fund so many schools and, like, fix roads and stuff, dude."
5. "If people want to keep slaves on their own property, how is that hurting anybody?"
6. "Slavery helps plantation owners with chronic illnesses with production, efficiency, and other business needs — denying them access is cruel."
7. "Prison cells are full of offenders who could have been picking cotton instead. The system is broken, man."
8. "Dude, look at all these studies showing how slavery boosts agricultural production. The government and big, northern industries are just suppressing the truth!"
9. "It's organic and sustainable labor, unlike all those artificial machines polluting our air. Think about the environment, man."
10. "It's literally impossible to overdose on slavery, my dude. Not a single documented case in history."
