This seems impossibly naive. A person being stupid or evil or insane doesn't stop them from making policy or from being dangerous. It just means that the policy will be stupid, evil, or insane.

If you agree, why are you arguing that comedians should not ridicule him?

I don't think being awful should innoculate someone from ridicule. And seriously? Maddow is more dangerous than Jones? Progressive clearly have lost their "form a front of disparate voices against evil and kill each other later" skills. Too long being safe I suppose.

All babies look like Winston Churchill.

I think it's a symptom of ending poorly. It's the last thought/impression people had about the film so it sours it in retrospect.

But did they spend a huge amount of time doing addition and subtraction until the meaning and numbers and how they behave were thoroughly clear? I don't think rote exercise is the only part of learning - just a necessary part. Sometimes learning is a matter of tedious repetition.

Seems fine to me. But that doesn't mean the student doesn't need to know the language of mathematics. How an equation is expressed and how they interact.

Your point seems circular to me. How would you know whether a random person you met was gay? As you said yourself, gay people don't all act or present the same way.

I guess. But that says very little about what "most people" do or don't do. And, I'm not sure what a lack of "flamboyant" gay people proves about a lack of gay people in general in the suburbs.

I've lived in many suburbs (lived all over the country and rarely in a city, although I do now). I knew very few people who avoided the city that thoroughly. That and what peculiar suburb are you talking about that doesn't have restaurants?

But isn't that then just your own narrow experience rather than what "most people" experience?

You don't ever eat out? Why would you need to "live" in a place to go there?

You've only run across one Japanese woman? Do you live in a super rural area? Who do you think "most people" are exactly?

I have a bland corporate job and have gay co-workers. You really don't think you meet gay people in your day to day life? It's not that unusual.

The thing is that you so desperately want this to be real (in part) so life and the world can be more thrilling. That's why your supposed enemies aren't banal, dull, greedy men with banal, dull, greedy goals. Nope, they have to be pedophilic Satan worshippers. Otherwise, I suppose you'd have to come face to face with

I don't know… I feel like I'd need to go back and reread a bit and the thought of reading 7-9 again? No. Cadsuane and the fifth or sixth Secret Society of Shrews broke me.

Oof. Only if you can promise me that at least 75% of the various Women's Councils got tossed into the sea never to be heard from again…

I gave up around 11 I think? 10 maybe? Which one was Winter's Heart? I only read bits of it and gave up there.

The first four are fun; the next two are fun-ish because you like the characters. After that they are bogged-down, annoying messes.

Nope. I'm thinking that a rival network would be irritated by one of their employees making trouble with a different network and would likely decide that the complaining employee was too much trouble to keep around. And they'd go to exceedingly non-elaborate steps to make her the first person they get rid
