It is intriguing how people see themselves. I think even many independents really don't see Democrats as weak or soft, but I won't deny Democrats definitely see themselves that way. I sometimes think they're reacting to some past feeling of being abused, so are identifying with their abuser, but maybe more likely it's…

I just don't think you need to get over your fears that fast. (Granted a big part of this is I'm religious and conservative. A big part of the point of conservatism is the value of caution/fear keeping you from doing something reckless.) Maybe an urge to caution you feel is actually justified in some way. Her reason…

We watched AD for Lent when I was a kid. Whenever Mom came in it would get spicy to our embarrassment. Susan Sarandon and Ava Gardner were noticeably in it.

"A producer is a person who dreams. Good producers make dreams come true." -

But fear should stand in the way of our desires. Otherwise we might spend all day eating candy, drinking soda pop, and bloating into obesity.

Yeah.

Yeah. The Nog PTSD one was pretty good, but mostly Vic is kind of a weird character who sometimes kind of stops the show and not in a good way. Oddly it seems like others were more okay with him than I.

So you know Catholicism better than the Popes did? (You may also want to Google Georges Lemaitre.) Judaism better than the rabbis? How does that work?

"If we look back into the past at the time required for this process of the "expanding universe," it follows that, from one to ten billion years ago, the matter of the spiral nebulae was compressed into a relatively restricted space, at the time the cosmic processes had their beginning.

Some of their Hindu nationalist aspect can get a bit much even if it might be more on the ball in terms of development or economics. (Not 100% certain of that though.) But I think India generally likes us and we like them. (Whether this is because we didn't get enough like from Britain in our childhoods is unknown,…

"brought her defective sack of flesh into the arena as a prop."

"Read a European newspaper."

I was initially confused when I heard about that because I thought maybe they meant they would show episodes three weeks after they air. But that would be a tad off of how they do things.

I don't know that much about Dionne Warwick, but I think I was slightly distracted in that what little I know of Warwick seemed to have almost nothing to do with what Rudolph was doing. (Okay she sang a bit of "way to San Jose" but that's about it. Dionne Warwick is over 70 and is partly known for psychic…

Well the Pope, the Pope Emeritus, and Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople are fairly pro-environment. Maybe if they be Catholic or Orthodox robot overlords they could want to preserve us, at least our species, as part of the stewardship of God's creation.

"Through the hollow of my tears

It seems like there were times I almost felt like Stein herself regretted some of the claims she made. But maybe not. Still I guess a recent tweet for her is, "Trump's withdrawal from #ParisAgreement would condemn us to #climate catastrophe. We need a #GreenNewDeal instead!" Although responses to that look to include,…

Nothing for me.

Well presumably the excess water people are fearing would go into where Canada is now so no low lying islands or coastal cities in danger. Then again possibly humanity itself would be different if that was all ocean and not land. Perhaps American Indians would just be stuck in Alaska with no land between it and the…

That's the ozone hole. So far as I know climate change is not about getting irradiated, unless I'm forgetting something.
