"Moreover, it's unlikely that men and women would mate with someone who suffers from a severe cognitive deficiency."

Have you ever tried to fight a ghost? It's hard.

The differences aren't quite so pronounced. If women were the only voters, the Democrats would average about 55% of the vote, nationally. (Inverse for men . . . GOP would take 55%, nationally). That's a comfortable margin for victory, but it's not exactly a landslide. It wouldn't take much of a shift in platform…

I guess I'm reacting to the adjective "deep". Yes, the outcome flips, but it's a binary outcome . . . the outcome flips whether there's a 5% swing in the vote percentages or a 90% swing. In my mind, the 90% would be a "deep" effect, and the 5% is more of a "shallow" effect that nevertheless still leads to the same…

Both the "black" vote, by itself, and the "female" vote, by itself, each slide the national outcome 5% blue. Together they slide it 6.5% blue, because some voters are both. A 6.5% shift is enough to change our razor-thin national electoral margins, but it's doesn't seem like a "deep, deep" affect. It's a nudge in…

That's kind of a neat idea . . ..

More trade embargoes, clearly.

Do men and dead salmon experience orgasms differently?

Oh no. An EMP takes out electronics by inducing current in the electronics that they weren't built to deal with. It fries them.

I don't see how an intent of "crippling" the enemy is equivalent to "killing by design".

Blue, indigo and violet are there because evolution knew we'd one day have blushing Bolians to contend with as well. It's forward-thinking, that evolution.

Indeed. And I'm only going off the information in the article, which is pretty limited. But the tone of the article and the stated position of the defense didn't match up at all with the article's take on the accusation. If the accusation itself is unjustified, then perhaps some of the article should have been…

"The prosecution's primary complaint is not so much that the government appointed panel of seismologists failed to predict the earthquake, but that they gave a falsely reassuring statement about its potential effects. "
