North Korea nuclear fears deepen. The posturing continues. As I pointed out the other day, China has explicitly stated they will not allow any sanctions on the Norks to pressure them to do anything. The DPRK has now showed their hand by threatening to make their arsenal even larger. Next up the US will make some sort of strong statement which will be villified by the press as "dangerous", "sabre-rattling", "rigid", "inflexible" and so on. Democrats and leftists (but I repeat myself) will be wailing, gnashing of teeth and rending of garments. After everyone sits down, the real negotiations will begin. Eventually, the US will get something, China will to and I think even the DPRK will get to stay around a while longer. IF they pull out of the talks this time, there will be trouble. Perhaps even a blockade.
So....the autism thing
Since April is nearly over and it's autism awareness month, I suppose I should talk a bit about it. I guess the best way to start is to rehash the story of How I Got Here. My oldest was born in 1999. Healthy, happy and so on. One peculiar thing he did as an infant was to avoid eye contact. Our doctor assured us it was because he was so young and his eyesight was undeveloped and he was probably focusing on something in the background that was more interesting. Besides, babies don't recognize faces for a few months after birth. Only later did we find out that our doctor was an idiot. He was 16 mos. old when his little brother was born and he was walking and making wishes known by pulling me or my wife by the hand to whatever he wanted etc. He was fascinated with the wheels on toys. If you gave him a truck he'd turn it over and spin the wheels and smile. Only later would I find out this is a major warning sign. This was our first born and what the hell did I know? ...
