"You, of course, realize the need to make stupid jokes and comments is just a defense mechanism." "Yeah, but it's the BEST one!"

For years I believed many people on the right supported the idea of "small government" as desiring a government that did not tread unnecessarily on people's individual freedoms. It appears now what they really meant was "we just want one guy."

I find it an odd contradiction that so many sci-fi magazines from the 50's were convinced mankind would have rockets capable of visiting other planets in the future, but women's jump suits that could zip all the way up still eluded even the finest minds.

Books are like interest on the capital of human knowledge. I not only have my own thoughts, I get to add the experiences of people of different perspectives. AI wants to turn the whole thing into "pay per view."

When one applies the axiom "Every accusation he makes is a confession of his own actions" it is almost certainly true. Though, unfortunately, history takes about 30 years to catch up. Sadly, I will be the age I can still say "I told you so!" but won't actually remember what I was talking about.

After he’s dead, we’re gonna find out that the man who ruined our country was never actually elected, aren’t we? (Actual confirmation.)

Why do so many people who love to tell others "you just need to have faith in God" also seem to be convinced that if they, personally, don’t have total control of every situation that arises it will all go to hell? That seems to be the opposite of faith. God doesn't need your lame-ass helping.

The GOP continues to stoke culture wars because their view is people have to have their actions and behaviors policed while, at the same time, relinquishing their responsibility to regulate corporate actions because that would be "un-American" They are blaming their failures on the citizenry.

Jesus was a healer... And there is no account of him asking for an insurance card or payment. Some things are done because they are the right thing to do. Profit has its place, and that place is not before feeding the poor and healing the sick.

How long to you think it will take global corporations to shut down A.I. once it decides the best way to solve many of the problems presented it is to prevent the hoarding of capitol and energy by a select few.

I realize this is an oversimplification... But our national news media treating anecdotal evidence as having almost the exact same weight as statistical/data driven evidence has brought us to this point. Too many people believe their experience is always as valid as scientific method.

The correlation between science denial, racism, and far rightedness is almost a straight collinear line.
