What it sounds like your argument boils down to is a claim that I have a moral duty to do something impossible. I even have a vague memory of saying something to that effect, fairly explicitly. I'm going to backpedal and concede right now that nobody has a moral duty or obligation to do something i...

Not that folks could be blamed for wondering, after Don Jr, Jared and Manafort literally met with a handful of Russians in a hotel room, with the admitted intention of ‘getting dirt on Clinton’. Wondering is fine. Wiretapping the Trump campaign and knowingly using false documents like the dossier t...

I’m not sure I’ve met an atheist who was an actual nihilist. But I’ve learned to be skeptical towards theists who tell me what I must believe.

I believed absolutely until I parted company with the church at age 19.

I doubt it's political, either. in 2019 there was a severe measles outbreak, mostly in just 3 communities in the same county where the polio case is. If I recall correctly, more measles cases were recorded in these three towns than in the entire US the year before. Here's a pretty good summary: Cha...

By this reasoning, could Trump serve as president from a federal penitentiary? Trump can always be impeached and then convicted for these crimes. Separation of powers means that this is the mechanism to get him out should he be elected again, if he were to have been convicted of these crimes at the...

Upstate NY tends more red, but I think it depends on the location. I haven’t seen polio vaccination really singled out, but they attack the whole childhoo...

This is the first time I have heard any consideration of such an extreme possibility. (I guess Trump's action is supposed to be ok if it does not start nuclear war.) Perhaps if I watched more fox I would have heard this extreme diversion of attention. Obama still hasn't digitized as he promised the...

I think that’s a questioned to be answered by Republican Congresscritters.

Well, there certainly are some interesting critters with bizarre answers to things.

Amen.

The problem is that you stubbornly cling to the claim that reducing fossil fuel production requires higher gas prices. It doesn’t. There are two sides to the equation: supply and demand. You keep ignoring the demand side of the equation. Subsidizing the changeover to electric cars reduces the deman...
