But how many adaptations have there been that haven’t shown the Monster is a sympathetic light? Maybe some of the Hammer versions, but that’s pretty much it, and those were never remotely as iconic as the Universal classics. The Universal adaptations dumbed down the Monster by massive degrees, but they arguably made…

Next you’re gonna tell me Moby Dick isn’t really about a whale...

“... the true monster of the story is actually the inhumanity of man.”

I really wanted the GW Bush administration to pull off a conservative government that was fiscally responsible and clean. About one year in, I surrendered. I will no longer support the GOP. I remain conservative at heart, and I had high hopes for Ron Paul in 2012.

Man how many of these responses are from Trump voters going “QQ keep political discussion off my car pages merrrr” feel free to @ me with your complaints

No love here since not only did they do shit, they managed to fuck things up even more.

Remember when the GOP stood for fiscal responsibility? Remember when they were pro-law enforcement?

Well, my after-tax pay went up like $20 a paycheck. So, that’s cool for the next ten years. I mean, I know people like Trump are up like $2M a paycheck, but it’s okay, because he’s smart. Like, really smart.

They blocked all attempts by the former administration to rebuild the country’s failing infrastructure when interest rates were at 0 and unemployment was high (ya know, the perfect time to fix things).

but... but... think of all the Walmart employees who got bonuses this year because Walmart got a billion dollar tax break?

for the “full trucking experience.”

Prior to Nov 2016 I would have agreed with you. It would be a struggle to explain why Trump was “qualified and why they would be good in the job,” as you say. I’d argue that social studies/government/history teachers have a responsibility to highlight the similarities between 2016 and the breakdown (and ultimate…

I’m pretty sure I could have done the same around an election. I could have said positive and negative things about Obama, McCain, and Romney. So, no issues with that..
