This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I remember when Michael Moore’s “Sicko” came out a long time ago and the country was just as riled up as they are now. History repeats. After a while they will arrest the shooter and this will all die back down.
