Re: The God of Spinoza

OK I admit my ignorance. I know nothing about Spinoza. The wikipedia entry looks interesting. Amazon has various editions of a translation that goes back to beginning of last century. Anybody recommend a commentary that might be more recent and in a good public library? What is in Amazon is pricey. ...

Re: SCOTUS arguments on presidential immunity

Maj Gen'l Sir, you are beating a very dead horse. The poor being (I am not sure Liberty IS a man) is unable to read basic English with any degree of understanding.

At what point in this saga did the GOP decide the sheriff and his family were not good party leadership? Did he not wear his MAGA hat to court?

16 Apr is National Bean Counter Day

In honor of this momentous occasion, I am reminded of a basic question: Why does the perfect bowl of bean soup contain 239 beans?










Because if it had one more, it would be two forty.

You welcome. Snailgate.

As I read this thread and thought about the thread on the leaning tower of NPR/PBS, I had a question: is the real result of mass internet availability that lesser truth equals a bigger audience?

Re: And just like that, the bridge collapse is blamed on the browns and the gays

Thank you all. Everyday I see new data that causes me to bless the guidance of the god of Luddites that I do not participate in online social media.
Hay wait a minute. Did I just commit blasphemy? Is this a sub-category of social media?

I am a natural - born citizen through no effort and no honor that I have earned. But I am deeply offended by the process by which others now become 'naturalized ' citizens.

Re: Havana Syndrome

No amount of military action in Mexico, Columbia or even China will 'win the war on drugs.' The flow of illegal drugs is powered by the almighty dollar and the high demand for that product. As long as the demand is there on the streets of America, somebody will supply it.
