Metaphor and analogy may serve as shorthand to clarify in some cases. It seems out of place here. We're not computers. Our software is chromosomes in our nuclei. Any young person entering the portion of life where any of this matters, should have access to relevant information. Ultimately...

I'm not an attorney. But you seem to be entirely overlooking ethics here. Voters may select the candidate for whom they cast their ballot by any criterion they wish: - policy position on abortion - policy position on deporting persons within our borders - candidate's character. After taking...

Totally rad. That leaves more for us? So we can be that much happy ? What do you call a Santa that doesn't wear underpants? St. Knicker-less? Commando ho ho ho Peace on Earth. Good Will Toward Men, Women, & Others. "I am a good judge of people, animals and politician's." Grace06

Than any other liquid? Trans-oceanic water shipment? A sandwich baggie provides a waterproof membrane. But one that conforms to the hold of a ship? Has this technology been used commercially before, over such distance? With commercially viable volumes of water? Riyadh is landlocked, so they'd...

Commercially viable? Add shipping and handling included? Not entirely sure it's relevant, but in portions of the U.S. we can pay more for 12 oz. of drinking water than for 12 oz of gasoline. MC 🎅

I get the 8-ball gear shift knob. I get the removed windshield-mount rear-view mirror (traffic's not too bad up there). Won't lose much sleep over the badge-wearing shotgun. BUT what's the thing hanging off the driver's forehead? Is it one of those combination thermometer / egg timers from...

Here to fore reputation has been enough to prevent such theft / treachery. Such resources can be, and for centuries have been purchased, international commerce. To abandon that model, and substitute for it simple plunder would stain the reputation of the plunderer, transforming the plunderer...

There's $box-office $draw for movies about horrid humanoid aliens that drop in for mayhem. Such scenarios are not likely. Few if any movie-goers want a malodorous space alien rummaging through their bedroom dresser drawers. Psychologically we can speculate whether a race of sentients capable of...

I'm not endorsing or excusing hush money. But it seems to me there's a broader issue here. The United States Constitution is "the supreme law of the land". Any / every U.S. president is bound by this "supreme law of the land". Our Founders were not casual about that. They confirmed the...

Attributing. They're gender-differentiated hormones. I don't know that to be true, but have no reason to assume it isn't. I imagine it is, It's what I had in mind when I posted: R5 added: I don't remember details, but recall reading human industrial chemistry is affecting animals in the wild.

Single-payer may be at or near optimal for socialized medicine. But the more fundamental question is, though socialized medicine may solve some problems, it may create others. Christian Scientists avoid advanced medical treatments. This is their First Amendment right. Should the U.S. be...
