"Further down the wormhole:"

Oh I'm sorry. I definitely think you can be Christian and Left-wing. There's the Berrigans, Dorothy Day, Chris Hedges, Reinhold Niebuhr, J. K. Rowling, Norman Thomas, Jim Wallis, Cornel West, and plenty of Quakers, Episcopalians, and UCC members.

I know of Baptists who take "once saved always saved" to mean once you are "saved" you can do pretty much whatever you want as long as you still have faith. I don't think this is exactly something mainstream Baptist denominations teach, but it seems to be something a few do live by.

Yeah. I mean there are a fair number of rural people into science fiction, but many of them are teens or already married. Plus even if you have single SF-oriented farmers TNG reruns BBCAmerica shows might make more sense.

I don't deny the entertainment industry is mostly liberal.

The "host segments", or whatever you call them, are good and I like the opening singing. "Harry Alan Towers, Harry Alan Towers, Harry Alan Towers!!!"

I think that's part of why people like Russell Moore, and many Mormon politicians, balked. Possibly Ross Douthat too.

Nothing I guess. ZaiJian!

I think most every country ended slavery before giving women the vote. Possibly Corsica and a few American indigenous tribes are exceptions. New Jersey may also have had a woman voter before it had abolition.

That could be as much about you as anything though. I didn't associate Vancouver to heroin at all.

Maybe they'll just cut out the swimming events, but add a bunch of climbing. Also add oration about the follies of man.

I used to see ads for that like all over. Were there really that many lonely farmers in America?

Looking up it areas we both had many medals include

Canada doesn't actually look to do bad at swimming and rowing. (Although the last two Olympics don't look great for them on rowing, but Penny Oleksiak had some success in swimming in 2016.) Now what they're awesome at though is trampoline. Only the Chinese look to do better than Canadians at trampoline.

You know I don't personally think that's the problem with the Olympics.

I didn't see it, but the general sense I got on shows about it is he was a pretty terrible guy who ruined people in vindictive ways and yet somehow managed to marry a fairly good woman who was a charitable widow. Mrs Kroc, who I guess was his third wife, got attention for helping those places in the Dakotas devastated…

Mark Harmon's Dad looks to have died a bit before he turned 71, but his Mom lived to 94.

Quite appropos for a death.
