Sam’s back in the studio with Tyson and Dan, raging about coffee machines and creepy RVs. We also revisit the interesting questions about Muslims in Space (which is not a show on Netflix yet) and maltreatment of Elephants in a “For Science!” segment.
Also, did you receive indoctrination about the inherent values of monotheism? Sam wants to know!

Feedback
The “day of rage” in Jerusalem was cancelled last Saturday morning. Sadly, due to disagreement on how it should be executed. Interest [did not break] 1000 people, and the disagreement was mainly about taking the [short] demonstration into ultra orthodox “territory”. The argument was that it would be an unnecessary provocation. So, no “day of rage” […] but the weekly protest against the religious sub-group that terrorizes secular parts in Jerusalem continued. Last week, stones were thrown, even [without the protest], and only a few people were there to document what the religious would do after several months of secular presence blocking their disturbance.

I know it seems a bit off topic, but I don’t know many Tacoma people yet, so I thought I’d ask you folks. If Tacoma reaches 300k people and qualifies for a monorail initative, where do you think it would go?
