I have a parka with a zipper that acts oddly, but it's because the piece of material behind it (there to stop the wind that gets through the zipper) keeps getting stuck, sending it not quite off the rails. It just zips up funny. But it's plastic, and I don't see how wax would help it. Michael

The zippers used in scuba divers' dry suits are metal, with rubber gaskets built in. But they're quite heavy, and need a heavier wax to lubricate properly; something like beeswax is preferred. -- /~\ cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid (Charlie Gibbs) \ / I'm really at ac.dekanfrus if you read it the right way.

Seemed to work adequately enough.

At the risk of branded a heretic (and possibly hypocrite), the Internet contributed to the decay of modern society. For instance, they say politics is so terribly polarized because the Internet allows easy distribution of extremist views. Such views were always around and publicized, but years ago one had to go out of their way to access them.

The main outlet for extremism as I've seen it is talk radio. The mini-minds on the internet have to get their ideas from somewhere. They're not very original. Vietnam surely put us on a bad path. The war on drugs hasn't helped. How about waging war on a large chunk of the population. Not conducive to respect for authority. Other things like an obsession on sports and disrespect for intelligence do their part too. Lots of people seem to support their political party as if it's a sport team. They don't need logical reasons, it's their team. The internet may play a part, but they have the internet in other countries, but the USA seems to be leading the way down the chute. -- Dan Espen

That goes back a long way, to Rome and Byzantium at least, where supporters of various horse-racing groups would riot in the streets after the event. (Might have been various chariot-racing). The whole political-party thing is a racket, allowwing the real powerholders keep control. > They don't need logical reasons, > it's their team. > > The internet may play a part, but they have the internet in > other countries, but the USA seems to be leading the way > down the chute. > -- greymaus . . ...

Good point. This morning I heard a talk radio station justify Trump's position. They didn't exactly come out and agree with it, but they called it "understandable in the circumstances of the government doing a terrible job". > Vietnam surely put us on a bad path. I read a biography of McNamera. According to that, he _blatantly_ lied to pretty much everyone--the people, his own staff, Congress, and the president, about the strategy in Vietnam. He told everyone it would be fairly easy to win when he knew in fact it would be long, difficult, and very expensive war. He relied on statistics which he knew or should've known were false; and failed to consider the political and cultural issues of the enemy. He put in "yes men" who weren't competent. Now, admittedly, I have not read McNamera's own works on Vietnam, which are voluminous. > The war on drugs hasn't helped. > How about waging war on a large chunk of the population. > Not conducive to respect for authority.

Ah. A moderate right-wing stance. (Or at least a restrained one.) The subtext, of course, is: "It's not our fault. It's that black Muslim Kenyan in the White House that's causing the mess." >> Other things like an obsession on sports and disrespect >> for intelligence do their part too. >> Lots of people seem to support their political party as >> if it's a sport team.
