I don't think a student loan should have been taken out of a social security check. I understand that was a hardship. Why not fix the situation so that others don't have the same problem, given that education is a very strong way to face the future. There are some things that are just too big for many private individuals. Take the military for example. if every state, or even town had it's own military, then there would be chaos in war time. We need a national response. Healthcare and education are other examples of things that are too big for so many Americans. Smart, hard working people can't always afford to get a good education, or even with insurance can face huge deductibles for the mildest of ailments. There are countries that get healthcare, education, and a military response right without having to bankrupt their citizens. I would rather fix things going forward rather than continue to make the same mistakes of the past.

Susie, there really isn't any actual data that supports your point of view. There is a huge obstacle, called physics. If the physics is solved, meaning why a "manned" spaceship needing to cover many light-years, taking perhaps hundreds or thousands of years one way, would be feasible for a planet that has given off radio waves for just over 100 years, would make a target for another intelligent planet just doesn't make sense.

Now what do we have in Donny's Loony Tune RINO World this morning. Well there's a "Real Republican" for starters stating a real fact.

Kinzinger Scorns Jan. 6 Committee Critics: 'You All Sound Nervous'.

While The Jan. 6 hearings have pulled back the curtain on the 'crazies and cowards' around Trump.

As Jr.'s July 4 Message Is Being Roasted On Twitter.

And then there's the ‘Aggressively dishonest’: Trump-backed Kari Lake whacked with brutal CNN fact check.

Meanwhile Top election officials in Arizona county resign amid ‘nasty’ threats, accusations over Trump loss as DOJ subpoenas two Arizona state senators for communications with Trump attorneys.

And we'll finish off with Donny's poor old buddy, Rudolf, The Humiliations of Rudy Giuliani.

I read the same things.
Trump is nothing but a liar and a fraud.
I don't understand his backers.
He is definitely a threat to US democracy.
He must be prosecuted.

A person I used to work with, is a Mormon minister. I have had numerous discussions with him covering most all topics from religion, politics, and science. His step daughter lives across the street from me. He was just caught having sex with his other step daughter, who is severely retarded. Apparently this had been happening for since 2018. The church threw him out, he was fired from his job, and arrested. His wife is divorcing him. He will probably end up in prison. He used to talk to me about free will. My counter was that why the free will of one maniac is more important than millions of innocent, such as with Hitler. Now, with him having sex with a retarded woman who can't even form sentences, it really does show the hypocrisy.

Rattlesnake handler dies ‘doing what he loved’ after being bitten during Texas show
He was bitten on the shoulder during the Rattlesnake Roundup event in Freer, police told KII-TV. He was flown to a Corpus Christi hospital, where he died, police told the station.


They have a treatment (anti-venom) for that. I think they might even have a vaccine, since they have one for dogs. Why wouldn't they have one for humans? I don't believe this guy had to die, although he may have deserved it for f*cking with rattlesnakes.

I have never liked the rattlesnake roundups. To me the whole thing is a cruel example of human behavior.
https://magleyanimalhospital.com/rattlesnake-vaccine/
If rattlesnakes need to be relocated away from population centers, I can understand that, but searching out hundreds of rattlesnakes for the purpose of entertaining people and ultimately killing them for skins and food is just wrong.

One interesting bit of reverse evolution has been observed in rattlesnake roundups. Rattlesnakes rattle as a means to warn away potential threats. When rattlesnake hunters are searching for them, they count on the ones that rattle to more easily catch them, but the ones that don't rattle, successfully breed, hence reducing the population that do rattle.

Excellent article. From my reading, as many as 400 million have been killed in the name of religion since the start of Christianity. But the free will of one maniac clearly tops the free will of millions of good honest people, who bought into the bunk of religion.

Also, his past incursions into Georgia and Ukraine helped to drive previous Soviet states to NATO. Ukraine, although not perfect, is a democracy with very western values, and they are sitting on his doorstep. There is only so much Russia can do to hide that fact from the Russian people. I am guessing that in Putin's mind, he can't allow a free and democratic Ukraine to exist on his border, or risk losing both his power, and/or the end of Russia as it is today. On the other hand, his war in Ukraine now has almost cemented his own downfall. Some of what he wanted was to keep the fragmentation of NATO which Trump had a huge hand in, to continue. The reverse is what happened, and NATO is more unified now than it has been in a long time. As always, there are no quick and easy answers to this very complex, dynamic situation.

There is a lot going on with this. It's all been mentioned here previously, but this is a good summary.

Can you present your data? I presented the UN climate report.
What type of climate change are you referring to, what was the cause, and was it regional or global? What was the duration?
Without knowing these details, your analogy falls short.

How was the rest of the planet affected. Even with today's climate change, not all areas are affected equally.
