Again, this is the kind of stuff that encourages hatred of philosophy as empty egg-headedness.

Robert,

@Enco, sure companies pay taxes, but no company was going to orchestrate a mission to the moon. The return on investment as far as business development enabled by the Apollo program was 700% or 7:1 to the taxpayers.

If you had paid attention to the video from The Hill, Harvard’s private endowment was $57 Billion compared against $1…[Read more]

Unseen,

In a recent Facebook post answering a person who likes to remind leftists like me that the Democrats were very keen on the KKK and it was a Republican who freed the slaves, I said that the two parties flipped sides in 1964 with Pres.
