The angle.
Yeah that is the ticket.
The angle of the dangle is what one must untangle. How could the bullet glance perchance in a direct line between Great Britain and France?

He was known as Fred the Indian.
I was 16 and had volunteered to clean 5000 compact fridges during the summer. One day Fred stops by while i am working. He was in an old pick-up truck. So this warehouse in an industrial park was all by itself. Fred pulls out his bow and a target and he is half hammered but amazingly accurate. He says Glen lets…[Read more]

Reality, however, maybe?
Or are they inextricably linked?

Truth is not dependent on belief or opinion.
Good fiction has to be logical and realistic or in some way cause the reader, listener or viewer to suspend disbelief. Fiction in ideology/cults and religions are clearly not tied to the above strictures.

That is a variation on the introduction to philosophy tree in the forest quip.
How about some truth quotes?
If you insist.
Truth serves nobody so nobody serves the truth.
Truth is not aesthetic unlike the des…[Read more]

I agree with Robert that a debate is not going to change much. I don’t recall the political wise guy who has predicted so many outcomes of SCOTUS but my he thinks debates are not a significant factor. And we saw a guy i think in PA be elected to congress even though he could barely speak. Undermining the candidate by same party may be fatal…[Read more]

Pope,
My take on when many Americans started to hate on other Americans first started was during conservative talk shows back when radio was still popular. Some liberal talk shows tried to replicate the success, but (IMO) bleeding hearts (at least) chose to focus on having more empathy for less privileged people.
Hatred for others has never…[Read more]

* In The Stranger by Twain there is a scene in which the villagers are stoning a witch. The friend of the witch picks up a rock and joins in for fear of being not one of the group. So yea it can be dangerous to go against the flow.

That is very well stated by Robert.
That is why i harbor no real hope for our future.
Beliefs and morality or even beliefs about morality are transferred from the greater culture/family to our feckless actor. There is nobody home. Absolutely vacant and amenable to you name it. AI could cause us to believe in any way it intends if it attains…[Read more]

First it was the banks. Then it was the media. Now the Zionists want to take over the cosmos. Zionists have no shame! Believe what they are telling you. Highly educated ivy league students do.

MEANWHILE, the lefty’s support the Islamists in shielding Islam from criticism. Well that is great news because we would not want cultists to moderate their beliefs and behavior. Lets continue to have babies born into a cult who live lives of desperation. Say yes to cycles of ignorance…[Read more]

Robert,
I have thought ever since Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel that the only option: DESTROY HAMAS. All of these racist mofos on the left from UN, Unwra, Amnesty etc to Jihadist/Islamists can find unity in hating Jews. I was reading recently how the Iranian revolution was led by lefty’s. But as soon as the Islamists came to power they…[Read more]
