Thank you S2. Sadly, the message I draw from this is not that we can strut with pride because we are a nation of laws based on immutable noble principles. Instead that we must tread with eternal caution, that our safety is not in law, but in probability. It shouldn't happen. We KNOW it...

Indeed. BUT !! The pics in #823 & #825 make me feel like a glass half-empty kind of guy. Why? Perhaps I've been living in a fantasy world. I figure many if not most have swilled the gender Kool-aid, - black suit, white dress. Fantasy though mine apparently is, I'd conjured the notion that at...

It's déjà vu all over me ! When I was of public school age the passengers on my school bus belonged in one of two categories. - Category #1: The "in-crowd" kids, the ones in the know, the ones with the inside scoop, the ones with the skinny ... - Category #2: Me. With superlative cerebral...

Another perspective: One point about the Wales summit now comes to mind. The summit took place at a luxury golf resort near the city of Newport. Eleven years on, journalists and experts in The Hague joked that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to hold the summit at a golf club again – to please the...

Even strident advocates of Liberty fail to make persuasive argument for drug abuse. Choosing to become an alcoholic, or a heroin addict, bad idea. BUT ! The so called "War on Drugs" however benevolently intended (if benevolently intended) is not a war against drugs. It's a War against Americans...

True S2, he might prefer 👙 though I pray I never see him in it. "In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set one of these fiery zealots to rights, either in factor principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on...

I'm curious what % of the Budapest population is "Pride". I'm curious what % of the crowd depicted in #819 is. Looks like a lot of people to me. Context: Was it Ahmadinejad that addressed an audience of academics in NY, announced that there were no gays in Iran, and was startled when he was...

Brigham Young & Brigham often? I'm guessing the idea supporting such effort is: if all non-binary Texas children are -corrected- before adulthood, Texas avoids the complications of non-binary diversity among adults. - piffle - what about the unrelenting torrent of non-binaries flooding in...

Human society has advanced to the stage where a substantially illiterate population would handicap, restrain the national economy, the GDP. The U.S. remedy for this is "public" education, a euphemism for "government" schooling. Education is compulsory, truancy not permitted. BUT !! We allow...

- oh - Thanks S2. I got the misimpression, among the spate of SCOTUS decrees typically issued at the end of each term, there'd been one in particular affecting LGBTQ. If so, worth mention here. If not, vive la différences ! [see what I did there? :)]

Zohran & moron, not just a pair, a prepair to impair. We expend resources to gain benefit. The essence of MAGA's argument is the U.S. achieved greatness not because of our fidelity to fundamental principles such as habeas corpus, but despite them. Exposing that Trump myth as a lie will be a...
