I miss the days when we discussed personhood in relation to the topic.

Re: Neighbors
They raised hogs, and one day it was time to slaughter the hog. Not sure what I was thinking, as I was always unnerved by the suffering of any animal, but I was interested in the guns. "Grandpa" was there to do the job with his .44 magnum. We had lots of cap guns and I knew what a .44 magnum was an...

Re: Neighbors
Surbanizing of America has been a major concern since WWII. It's hard to blame any one thing, whether it is our car-centric lifestyles, the socio-economics that drive efficiencies at scale that replace main streets with strip malls, globalization, television, social media, or the general shift in ou...

Re: Conservative Judge Speaks Out
What is it in my comment that you take issue with, specifically? This: "Illiberalism manifests just as readily on the political left. It manifests on this board just as often by those opposed to the illiberal nationalism in the form of illiberal socialism." Of course, the socialism of Nicolás Madur...

Re: Conservative Judge Speaks Out
Illiberalism manifests just as readily on the political left. It manifests on this board just as often by those opposed to the illiberal nationalism in the form of illiberal socialism. I challenge this assertion. The usage of the term "socialism" is unhelpfully broad. A sizable number of young left...

Re: Traveling to Greece
This evening we went into downtown Desfina and ate at a little gyro restaurant with reasonable prices. Non-tourist Greece is very reasonable. The gyros were so much better than the ones you get in the US, even the pita bread is so much better. I drank a couple of Fix beers (Fix is a Greek brand wit...

Re: Worldle - Because There's More to Life than Word Games
I got today's on the first answer. I can only credit my embarrassment at being totally unfamiliar with the country when it appeared on Globle. I spent enough time on the country's wiki afterwards that had I failed today I would have given up my geography credentials. Not being nearly as industrious...

Re: Conservative Judge Speaks Out
In countries around the world liberty and liberalism are threatened by authoritarian populism on both right and left. And here in the United States the Republican Party is increasingly focused on nationalism, protectionism, and using state power to hurt its enemies, while on the left there are incr...

Re: Worldle - Because There's More to Life than Word Games
First guess again. I have been led to believe that the countries selected for the puzzle may not be the same for everyone. Someone please PM me with your correct answer so I can compare it with mine. If it doesn't match my answer, that would confirm my hypothesis, or rather honorentheos' hypothesis...
