    Can you at least make your political commentary interesting? 

    UNC in-state tuition, fees, plus room and board is $25,407 a year. Not sure where you are getting “about $40,000" figure.

    “Maybe” less harmful? Seriously, that’s just ignorant. There is pretty much zero doubt vaping is dramatically less harmful than smoking cigarettes.

    Love how the guy tries to escape at first by pushing his girlfriend into the cop.

    That’s because we are often blind to the evil on “our side”. 

    Was your one time Howard Zinn’s masterpiece?

    You caught me. I’m going to report you now for hurting my feelings.

    Very few “revolutions” have worked out very well. And certainly none against a system as free as the US is currently (even accepting the most “progressive” critiques). But one thing internal revolutions do teach is that the best armed and most extreme factions usually prevail. Think that will look good here?

    Which isn’t what the Little House stories teach AT ALL.  As anyone with even a passing knowledge of the matter would understand.  But understanding needs to take a backseat to the latest outrage.  How else can we all feel superior.

    The standard these historical illiterates apply doesn’t simply cover “genuinely horrible human beings”. That’s pretty clear by the inclusion of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

    The ignorance of referring to these [fill in the blank] as “concentration camps” is staggering.

    Being that they were a literary prize committee, that is literally all they could do.  But don’t be mistaken, the folks who are pursuing this agenda want to “unperson” every historical figure that they believe is tainted by [fill in the blank]ism.

    It is funny how the same people who decry the number of guns in the country, then call for violence and “resistance” while failing to realize that most of those guns are in the hands of their political “enemies” and the “oppressors”

    The “anti” fascists are all for street violence against the “privileged” “oppressors”. And they don’t even realize the irony.

    One of the most consistently “liberal” justices on 4th Amendment issues was Scalia. That’s because he actually took the language and history of the Constitution at face value - rather that merely deferring to a particular political side. It’s why I’ve always found the critique of Originalism as just another flavor of

    So the pro-gun control crowd is calling for political violence against all those holding policy positions they disagree with?  I’m sure that will work well for them.

    Literally, every single state has long standing Consumer Protection Acts. Those laws, while varying in many details, form the basis of pretty clear and strong consumer protections. They almost uniformly give consumers the right to rescind purchases and loans within a reasonable time. They provide the right to sue and

    It’s available for me now. Not sure if I’m just special...well, I know I’m special. :)

    Pretty much a dick move.

    Thanks for the pointer to Massey. You should be aware however that his research/analysis relates to Mexican immigrants. Despite popular belief, a lot of the current immigration influx is not from Mexico, but from other Central or South American countries. Those immigrants understandably are much less likely to want to
