Huh? Please re-read my comment and try again.

All of which were put on by a prosecutor acting as a de facto defense attorney for Wilson. He put on affirmative defenses for Wilson (which is so far outside the norm it is hard to explain to someone not familiar with the normal grand jury process), he let Wilson testify essentially as a friendly witness, and he…

Yeah, that would be hilarious to see a thoughtful, intelligent person get the shit knocked out of them!

It sure would have been nice to have an actual trial to prove through evidence and witnesses what happened, rather than the prosecutor, wouldn't it?

But it's a pain in the ass to consider them as human beings with their own agency, and part of the larger world.

I assume you get just as perturbed when the NFL honors veterans before the game, right?

I'm a politics/news junkie, but sometimes I want a break.

His defenses have broken nearly every Nebraska record it's possible to break for ineptitude over the last couple years, and this is a team that's been around for a century.

I'm sure I will never be in that position, and of course it's easier to spend other people's money than your own, but I really can't imagine something more amazingly fun as a millionaire than slapping 15k down and telling a bunch of kids who could use a break to just go nuts.

Wait wait wait wait...you think Bo Pelini is a good coach?

Those kids will probably enjoy the hell out of that stuff. In any event, it's more than you did today.

$16k? That's...surprisingly not very much. And don't misunderstand me, I don't mean that to minimize what Johnson does, just the opposite. It's just startling to realize that you can bring a pretty good chunk of happiness to a bunch of kids for the same amount a lot of NFL players would drop on bottle service on a…

You: I don't know what you base my not knowing what Schilling said on

The fact that you think they're the same thing says a lot about why you were so eager to defend Schilling (even though you didn't actually know what he said...at all).

I'll take a limited view of reality over mealy-mouthed gobbledygook and a fundamental misunderstanding of what reality is.

Scientists constructing narratives based on scientific research is the basis for a meaningless statement when those narratives are all most people read

I didn't say that!

Oy vey, you just keep digging, don't you? You said that the theory of evolution was a "best guess." I do not dispute that a hypothesis is the first step in the scientific method, but I dispute that "best guess" is a good-faith description of the theory of evolution (or any scientific theory). Such a description…

He obviously doesn't understand the theory very well.

I can make another observation (science!) that he was at worst being curious
