Next up: I think ketchup tastes bad, so I don’t eat it: a 7000 word glimpse into the human soul.

Too bad that 10 part documentaries, engaging podcasts or HBO documentaries aren’t made about poor Black folks railroaded by the system.

I was really interested but then I did a cartoonish double take and read that she was black so I went back to writing a strongly worded letter to OBAMA asking him why he wont pardon Steven Avery (I mean, it is a state crime not a federal crime, I GET IT, but like aren’t you the leader of ALL the states? Huh? HUH?!)…

I’m not talking about putting an end to robust debate.

My taxes are deducted from my paycheck too. I don’t even know what my tax rate is.

Why should we assume that Hillary, the original Republican neurosis, will somehow be more accepted in a Republican congress, unless you’re tacitly admitting she’ll help pass Republican sponsored crap?

Its so fucking tragic that Clinton’s best argument is “I’m more electable because I’m not trying to healthcare better.” If people had always listened to that kind of BS, we’d never have the Civil Rights Act, the New Deal, worker’s rights, universal suffrage, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.

*hillary has difficulty winning the left flank of the democratic party*

(I know they couldn’t do that in trial but the filmmakers totally could have)

I mean, yeah he is an asshole and deserves to be punished, but it’s kind of hard to look past the fact that he is 15 while the co-conspirators are 22 and 27 years old. Are we really supposed to believe that he is the “prime mover”?

I am not sure I can look entirely past his age here. It’s fully possible that he’s been groomed and used by two adults to act as a lure on their behalf, whether he realizes that or not.

The problem is that too many people see the role of government not as the entitiy in charge of security and monetary stability, but as a personal caretaker.

That’s kind of funny. But still probably doesn’t affect their daily existence as a family. Pretty much nobody in my family has the same last name anymore. Some didn’t change when they got married, some did. Some did then divorced and remarried and reverted and then there are step-people with other names. And we are…

There isn’t any confusion with the kids though. I’ve not had any in six+ years of parenting. And I’m the primary caregiver doing all the things with them with a different name. It’s not an issue. We are not any less of a “unit”. That’s pretty offensive.

He knows how to manipulate an audience and that’s what matters to getting elected. Carter was the last president that had any technical intelligence.

There will always be something a single person or small group does not know or does not know well, yet humans insist on being ruled by individuals and small groups with total power. Then they wonder why things are a mess and go looking again for some single person or small group that can lead them to make it all…

I’m sorry I made you feel that way. I just know that male-to-female rape is far, far, FAR more common than the other way around and I’m convinced it’s because of some deep flaw in masculinity, male culture, or the way boys are raised. Some combination of that causes this.

Where was I reading about pay transparancy earlier today?

I’d rather be able to read Jane Austen for free and ignore the derivative shit than having to pay to read an author who’s been dead for 250 years so someone who did nothing for the creation of her works could profit.
