  1. I like the surf green, quite a bit.
  2. Some article or book review in the NYT today said we were in a transition period from stable world of upheaval. Sure looks like downheaval to me.
  3. But, BEVO, we don’t know what they were thinking. I jest. It is also only behavior, including statements, that we claim to know what humans are thinking, but we never do know. That chimps are not conscious in some way relevant to them is absurd. On a continuum this sort of animal sensibility runs thru dogs, and cats. That they don’t have language does not mean they don’t have emotions that drive behavior. Like others we know. Thanks for this perspective.
  4. Did not know you were an attorney. Sad.
  5. It’s not that they feared for the repercussions of killing a white guy, it’s their sympathies with him, as a human, that held them back. A white, male human. Unbelievable.
  6. Thanks. I was reacting to the supposed choice or comparison between our society norms and awful examples of socialism. No one here or anywhere is proposing such as an alternative, so observing our awful system is not that awful is cold comfort.
  7. I don’t want you on ignore. You are acting incredibly sensitive, or so it looks from here. Thinking of this as a mutual exploration of the subject might. Be a more,helpful model than the debatE/advocacy model.
  8. Bonz This is a serious discussion on a serious board. These non-theist views are simply that. You’re better than/holier than thou statements are not in the least helpful or informative. Ok, you are a theist.
  9. Because the other options, religion as normally seen, communism, fascism, these are all built on lies. I don’t know the name of a societal and political program based on truth. A pipe dream?
  10. When has our society, or a like society, pursued secular fundamentalism (respect for truth) in a manner equivalent to that now underway for our new theocracy, or whatever one might label the 88th legislatures’ program?
  11. Nah, you‘Ve been pursuing and teaching good personhood for some time now.
  12. Don’t “they” owe you this selfish pleasure?
  13. Surely. As one gets older, the idea of death is less painful than keeping the nuisance going.
  14. Guilt by association, Bonz. Also, I no longer “use” it, it is now merely something for show. Like a 60 Strat.
  15. Doc We, Texas, have been fucked since One Tough Grandma was the last D to put together a statewide win. So, make that several decades, as in not in your or my lifetimes. May I recommend UW to you? Big state U, great student body and rated about like UT.
  16. Also 19%. So relieved.
  17. Yep. Turning most driving over to my wife has solved most of my driving nuisance issues. Now they are hers.
  18. We could catch him speeding and deport him, or tipsy at a restaurant. Certainly if he got into a fight. If only to consider prior green card deportations. Not a lawyer speaking here, of course. But folks with citizen families have been deported for minimal shit when they are unimportant and the powers that be want it so. Story in NYT just today.
