Re: All the men getting angry at women for choosing the bear...
Now that I think of it, Elisha had god send bears to rip apart two youths who dared to call him old and bald.

Re: Rebels Without a Clue
The only violence I saw is when the police came to remove them; shooting tear gas and flash bag grenades and swinging clubs, which prompted the protestors to fight back--fireworks may also have been shot, but I did not see it. But I can hardly condmemn the protestors for fighting back when attacked,...

Re: All the men getting angry at women for choosing the bear...
Well, I haven't made a study of it, but I would bet that most women have not been the victim of violence at the hands of a man anymore than they have met a bear in the wild; sure, some have, and many have heard accounts of it from others, but it is hard to make that choice without firsthand experien...

Re: All the men getting angry at women for choosing the bear...
Me too, but I guess it has something to do with whether a woman would rather take her chances with a man or a bear in a situation where their safety was threatened. Not sure what kind of conclusions are being drawn, other than that some women see men as moire threatening than a wild animal, but I gu...

Re: Rebels Without a Clue
Joe--rioting? What rioting have you seen, except maybe some push back when the police or security seek to clear/arrest them? From what I have seen, the encampments and demonstrators, for want of a better word, have been fairly peaceful, are not occupying buildings, are not preventing others from att...

Re: Rebels Without a Clue
Meade--to a certain extent I agree with you, but I also think that some of what is being referred to as "pro Hamas" is more pro Palestinian--not the same thing. Likewise, while I'll admit I am not much of a part of the university scene at this time, I can recall a time when any criticism of Israel o...

Re: The God of Spinoza
Drawing on my philosophy courses over 50 years ago, I believe Spinoza described god as the infinite natural force that exists at the base of all and acts as it must act. God is part of everything, and everything is a part of god, but he saw god as constrained to act within the natural world as the n...

Re: SCOTUS arguments on presidential immunity
And as for Could trump be a dictator if he was elected again? I would have to answer, I doubt it; I do not think he has the necessary skills/intelligence to be come a dictator (I guess he could be the figurehead of a dictatorial cabal, but that is different, and given his behavior, I doubt such a ca...

Re: SCOTUS arguments on presidential immunity
It's well worth a listen, if only to see how most of the justices hold the presidency in higher regard than I think is wise. The idea of some sort of immunity appears to be thought of as necessary for the president to do his/her job--this even came through with the government attorney. I personally ...

Re: Giuliani Sinks Even Lower.....
After Trump, Rudy is the one person I would love to see get a prison sentence; and, unlike with Trump (for reasons I have previously posted and won't go into here), I think there is a legitimate chance of this happening. I can only hope.

Re: Israel at War
Ironically, if the protests would just evaporate, it would make it a lot easier to take a harder line with Israel Perhaps, but without the public pressure, it will make it a lot easier to just ignore the situation and not take a harder line. Yes, there are a lot of jerks (many of them likely antise...

Re: A local story
[Some people feel guilty for surviving when their friends died. With that said, I think that a non-recovering drug addict is not qualified to be a parent. In most jurisdictions, this is the case; drug addicted parents are given some time to get treatment and recover, or they lose custody of their k...

One thing Meade--I do give Reagan credit for promoting a technology he did not understand; why this translates to credit in any way for an invention is beyond me.

Re: Israel at War
Yes, there were antiballistic missile systems in place in the 60s and an ABM treaty was entered into while LBJ was president; I recall Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) which involved a shell game of mobile antiballistic missiles that were shuttled around so "they" wouldn't know where they...
