And the sad part is that so many people have absorbed the logical fallacies, factually incorrect premises, and faulty reasoning without analyzing them that they're like religious dogma. . . trot it out when you hear the key concepts, get it shot down, and go home still unswervingly certain that...

Yep, it's the naysayer's go-to response. It amounts to a declaration that unless something is 100% effective, it's useless. Binary. Murder has been illegal for millennia, and there are still murders, but I don't hear the naysayers advocating to take the murder laws off the books. Funny, enit?

Nope. Not even close.

I'm not trying to stop it, I'm trying to reduce it. Reducing addiction was the reason we outlawed heroin and other hard drugs. If "keeping criminals from importing" something is an absolute and irreducible requirement for a law, might as well just scrap the law-book. Every single thing we've...

The "socialists" didn't take that from you. Rather the opposite, I'd say.

Science is what it is. Whether you're dealing with a scientist or a politician with a Ph.D. isn't really any different from dealing with a salesperson. Use the same skills to determine whether you're being sold the real deal or magic beans.

This is very good news. We need to colonize the moon permanently and set up industry there. With a gravity well only 1/6 as deep as Earth's and no atmosphere, it's the ideal launch platform.

Morello's 58. Maybe the band should change its name to Rage Against Pension Plan Performance, Hair Loss, and the Price of Viagra.

One fat, lazy cop and one principal. And 375 cops and who-knows-how-many administrators and school safety drones at all levels walk away laughing. And why not? None of THEIR kids were sacrificed on the altar of Mah Rahts.

The point that you quoted in your Post #13 above. A preference is not a requirement.

Found their scapegoats, I guess.

Thank you for that demonstration of my point.

No reason they can't follow suit. Here's the secret. . . there really isn't much functional difference between guns of the same type and calibre made by different manufacturers.

If a beaver has a dick, is it a trans beaver?

Well, if a fertilized ovum is a human being, all unexplained deaths are investigated as homicides in most states. When we put every woman who miscarries through a major felony investigation, we will have achieved the level of cruelty and misogyny the Qpublicans seek.

More power to him!

Well, that's a polite way to say "publicly called it a hoax and have not retracted those statements."

The government and the democratic process. Sometimes the courts. I don't know if your mommy ever told you this, but you ain't gonna get everything you want in this life.

Yep. Gotta work around the knee-jerk gun-worship of Qpublicans. Invoking their "Buy American!" pseudo-patriotism should play well in the big square states.

MMMmmm. . . snake brains.
