A lot of people who have concerns about vaccines are people with advanced degrees, nurses, doctors. And no, I am not lying.

As the mother of a child diagnosed with autism I support you and your bravery for posting this here. Vaccines are not magically free from harm. A certain percentage of people react badly to them. Were they properly tested? As the vaccine schedule was ramped up, were kids getting too much mercury (a preservative) in…

He can handle Hillary. It’s a beautiful conservative reporter he can’t handle. Is Megyn Kelly really the only reporter who has held his feet to the fire?? That’s shocking, if true. And that may explain his flipping out.

Got married at the Princeton Quaker Meetinghouse and had my reception at the Griggstown Firehouse, which is on a canal. Rented everything ourselves; had friends and a soul food restaurant cater. It was awesome. Divorced now, but the wedding was great. I was a Quaker at the time, so I wasn’t doing the country club…

I had a tomcat, once, who wouldn’t let the female cat eat. I stopped giving him attention and he calmed down. If I started being nice to him, he again started bullying the female cat to prevent her from eating. I’m beginning to think that many human beings are just about the same: they act badly if given too much…

Every candidate will be supported by a variety of people. They can’t choose who supports them. If you listened to Sanders’ speeches, or read his tweets, or otherwise educated yourself about what he was saying, I think you would not assume that he is encouraging the “Berniebros”.

There’s no point in championing a fighter if the fighter does not share your goals. I’m sure Hillary is good at fighting, but I don’t think she’s going to fight for policies that help the average person at the expense of banks. I don’t think she’s going to fight for single-payer healthcare: she has said as much. She…

The media-wide anti-Bernie attacks are not bound by logic. They’re political hit jobs, many of them, especially the incoherent one quoted in this article.

Obama not= Sanders. Obama was much more centrist than he presented himself as. Obama appointed the most corporate-accommodating DNC possible cabinet before he even entered office (Larry Summers; Rahm Emanuel, etc, etc.). David Sirota wrote a scathing article pointing out that this showed that Obama was going to play…

“Bernie is not the artisanal cheese of the 2016 election.” I love this line. I wish I could use it in every Bernie conversation online. People would rightly wonder why anyone would need to say this. People who haven’t read Alexandra Schwarz.

Interesting, but I am not going to condemn Sanders’s plans over any writer’s analysis. This person doesn’t know what Sanders will end up doing, or have to do. Let’s hear it from Sanders himself. And in addition, the tax increases come with benefits, e.g. healthcare, so it’s hard to say whether it will be a net loss…

My 18 year old daughter said that everyone she knows is in favor of Bernie. And I have read that young women prefer Sanders by a 20 point margin. So the “Berniebro” thing, what is that based on??

Amen, thank you. Economic inequality is so much more important to me than abortion rights, and I am female and a feminist. Sexual politics have hijacked and polarized the political process for too long. We have nearly attained plutocracy status because of all the hay Republicans have made about abortion. If Bernie is…

Oh, and I am not a “bro”. I am female. I find the “berniebro” meme tiring and idiotic. Come with some substantive criticisms, not name calling, please, berniebro-slingers.

My interpretation is that he thinks economic justice is life-threateningly important and that hot-button issues and identity politics has been used as a wedge issue to prevent politicians from actually addressing the colossal economic unfairness that we are facing.

I live in the South and I have never seen this attitude, at least not among the well off. Conservative church-goers, maybe. My kids elementary school was full of junior leaguers. I once complained to one that they are so rigid about their clothes. One year cropped pants with large white and black patterns were in…

It depends on what year it was. I have a PhD in CS from Princeton. The personal computer revolution happened while I was in grad school or maybe it was a few years later when I was home having a baby. We used Linux/Unix in grad school and nothing else. When I went back to work I also knew nothing about Windows. I…

Kim K, Einstein, all just projecting a facade. I hate to take a conservative talking point and agree with it here, but “relativism” is what this is. Academic achievement is not a facade. Looks are.

I trust the EWG more than corporations defending their products. We have seen too many instances (e.g. cigarettes) where a very profitable industry covers up the dangers of its products. Science has been corrupted. Scientific fundamentalism of the “if you question chemicals you are an idiot” type seen here is no more…

Finally, even some governments that are deeply criticized by some activists may have a very legitimate need for our technology. For example, such a state, though the focus of activist anger, may also be a breeding ground for terrorists. The technology provided by HackingTeam is particularly useful in detecting and…
