Oakland

a: Oakland ~
b: Detroit

What: "My ex-wife and I went to a Burger King in Oakland because we were hungry. Also because she was an idiot that insisted in going into this crime infested restaurant like she was a white Rosa Parks. We ate in a tension filled stare fest. Oakland is like Detroit in that it's over run with Mixon type supporters that are very angry and hateful toward whitey. One day a government with guts will take back that which was forcefully taken from it. "

Through The Solar System

a: Electromagnetic radiation ~
b: an ideal dance of male and female

What: Electromagnetic radiation is a fundamental part of the world we inhabit. Such radiation consists of 2 parts, electrical and magnetic. They both coexist in the same entity. The male female relationship has some similarities: the connection between the 2 makes life possible, a distortion of one affects the other. If they become separated they will both be destroyed or radically diminished. Thus they go together as 2.

Some Greasy Molecules

a: Graphite ~
b: a slip and slide

What: Both things have 2 surfaces that move against each other with very little friction. The slip and slide is a long skinny piece of plastic that gets coated with water. The plastic plus water plus human body make for a very slippery surface. The planar molecules of graphite move past each other, at the molecular level, because the molecules are essentially flat and have broad flat surfaces that slide past each other.
