In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

    Should Dems move to the Right of Biden?

    Libertarian. Cut and cut and cut. Democrats lost their power on low flow toilets! People evaluate daily lifestyle issues very highly because they are reminded of them every day. But defend against pollution, notably noise, because THAT affects people every single day. Reinvent from scratch...

    Should Dems move to the Right of Biden?

    The Democrats should move to the left of Biden on foreign policy, following Trump, and ideally catching up with Marjorie Taylor Greene. Abandon neoliberalism or neoconservativism or whatever, and quit with the expensive foreign wars! The Democrats should move to the left and propose Medicaid...

    You can’t ban human nature

    But he told the dog in no uncertain terms to drive-by at the wife when he drove past.

    Andrew Cuomo vs. Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor

    Nonetheless, it took just hours from when I posted that for the Republicans to come up with some McCarthy-era law (which, of course, was never repealed, not even when Democrats had House, Senate, and White House) to revoke his U.S. citizenship...

    Would you eat Lab Grown Meat

    Not so fast! Read this: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10879929/ Basically, culturing meat in a dish favors fast-growing cells. They become more and more like cancer cells, with some of the same mutations. And note that, from the perspective of the paper I quoted, this is not a...

    In a dramatic shift, most Republicans now oppose same-sex marriage

    I think it's important to remember that 40% of the Republicans were pro same sex marriage, which is a benchmark for virtually complete acceptance across the board. Compare that to famed liberal Eugene McCarthy, who did not speak up in favor of legalizing homosexuality in 1968. This is not a...

    Would you eat Lab Grown Meat

    Tissue culture dishes don't have an immune system. It's possible, but really hard to do tissue culture without antibiotics.

    Ignorant Democrat Representative Claims Trump's Iran Airstrikes Are Grounds For Impeachment

    The Democrats really, really work HARD to keep losing this badly. Trump sent someone by accident to lifetime imprisonment in a Third World concentration camp? No impeachment. ... appoints the least qualified candidate in history (including Caligula's horse incitatus) to head the NIH...

    Check out the World Peace Foundation

    Well, I could tell you think this or think that and here's my source, but when I find a source this extensive, it seems better to say "read this source and tell me what to think".

    Would you eat Lab Grown Meat

    I think "lab grown meat" is an animal-fanatic boondoggle. It will never happen at a price anybody can afford. The problem is that meat (muscle) normally comes on an animal with a liver to break down toxins, kidneys to secrete waste products, and an endocrine system to regulate growth. Lab...

    Check out the World Peace Foundation

    I was asking an AI a bunch of questions about Tigray (and Amhara - after 200,000 dead in Tigray, I didn't even know Abiy switched over to starving Amhara to death), and happened across a great site: https://worldpeacefoundation.org/ Their 'blog' section in particular has some really insightful...

    ICE forces U.S. Army Purple Heart veteran to deport—after taking 2 bullets in combat.

    There are few principles of citizenship older or more established in tradition than the notion that honorably completing military service for a country should give you citizenship. This isn't a Heinlein thing - it dates back to "SPQR" and no doubt further. While he may not have claimed that...

    Andrew Cuomo vs. Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor

    I wonder how many sub-5-mW laser pointers, held by people on all sides and many blocks away, it would take to create an apparent Eye of Sauron hovering in the air above that thing.

    "If You Can Rent Venice For Your Wedding You Can Pay More Tax"

    Every day, lots of people play the lottery and GET RICH! That could be you! Of course, there some differences between that and this scenario. The lottery doesn't have lots of people winning every day who inherited winning tickets. But neither one is, on average, a way to economic...

    Why did God choose to be a man?

    But it is fair to call God a creator, isn't it? To call God good? To say that God is capable of understanding? Is it possible that to the extent we are able to understand whatever is best and most essential to the nature of a good person, we might also understand then the nature of God?
