Should I send my Eagle Scout badge back? (Seriously. Would it help, in your opinion?)

I did the MOOC, which was very good. I encourage others to look into it. My question is this: once you see how easily manipulated people can be, and how willing they are to embrace crazy ideas, what is your simplest explanation for why some people believe crazy things?

My local newspaper continues to publish the occasional straight-up denial letters to the editor. What approaches would be most effective to try to get the editor to stop publishing these letters? Presumably they wouldn't publish holocaust-denying letters, so they must have some standards. But then, comparing anything to the nazis is bound to fail, so I'm kind of at a loss.

Virtually every sUAS (ok, I'll use the d-word and say drone) puts an extremely flammable LiPo battery into the air. Many contacts with the ground are unplanned. Lipo fires are particularly hot and difficult to put out. Thoughts on future battery safety (without sacrificing much weight?)

Opinions on folding bikes? I'm riding a Giant Expressway, which is a style OEMed by lots of companies. But I'm thinking about a Birdy (http://www.birdybike.com/) which is German designed and made in Asia.
