As a high school teacher, I've been screaming this for years. I'm an Econ teacher; I LOVE Econ. Macro, micro, it's all about getting what you want. And those theories are good knowledge for anyone.

What are you DOING feeding Taco Bell to bulls, you sick fuck?

Gynisys?

Hey, that's @Cookie_Monster's schtick. You don't want to mess with that.

People don't understand, understand.
People don't understand, people like me.

Truly, this is something we can all agree on.

I think the "was actually part of the Union" is the bigger cognitive dissonance compared to "used a technically incorrect but widely recognized symbol."

Know what gets me? People in the Michigan countryside flying the Confederate Flag. It's like you do realize that the ancestors of people around here were killed by people flying that flag, right?

Ha. Just beat me.

Yeah, but as another an historian, all of those reasons come back to slavery. Kansas-slave or free. John Brown? Slaves. Nullification-tied up in tariffs agrarian economy based on (you guessed it) slaves.

Nuke. "Gimme a Red."

Only halfway through DD #2, but I also loved Jessica Jones a lot, and think it more than stands up alongside Daredevil. But while I was so glad they brought DD back for another season, I really wish they'd held off with Jones. It just works so perfectly as a single contained arc.

Yeah, I am in your boat about MoS. Pretty good, plenty to dislike, but some real good stuff too: "Lois Lane? She's a smart woman. Let's not try and make it seem like she doesn't know these two people are the same person."

With Stephen Arnell. He can bring his salmon ladder.

Hey, that's actually not a bad idea, Cook. Cheers for that!

Still haven't seen one better than the one that's getting batted around the 'net:

That video always makes me happy.

Okay. You've read some things into my posts. My point above is that the passion and opinions which show on the Internet are not representative of the country as a whole. Not making any value judgments, just stating what looks to be a measurable fact.

I know, right? If Reddit were to be believed, we'd already be preparing for a Trump-Bernie showdown, maybe with Jill Stein and the Libertarian candidate running as spoilers.

I… don't know that that means. Validation of what?
