Did I not answer your questions? Oh, I didn’t! I would call them secondary to the main questions about R nought, the anti-vax movement, and flaws or laziness in human cognition.

@PopeBeanie – Yes, you are correct with the basics of ‘R Nought (12-18). But it does not explain why Canada lost elimination status before the US. But elimination statu…[Read more]

Strega 🙂

@PopeBeanie Thanks, I have fixed the link. I think you will enjoy the video.

The idea for the 250th anniversary ‘celebrations’ came from a discussion I had with some Americans at the tailgate party for the “Steelers vs Vikings” game in Dublin. I should have put “lol” at the end of my comment….or maybe not 🙂

Gabbard refers to “political elite warmongers” and I think we know that she’s referring to rich and/or powerful people, many of the most influential being billionaires who, truth be told, could very well profit in the long run from a third world war.

Eventually, we may have to take the risk of giving up our own nuclear weapons if we…[Read more]

There are other ways.

He might withdraw days before the middle of his term, continuing to rule through his veep and then seek a second term again in the next election, which I think may be perfectly legal.

@PopeBeanie – Yes, Once I got my teeth sunk into it, there was over 400 years of research to investigate. Or is it 500? At times it felt like I had bitten off more than I could chew. Alas, I don’t chew much anymore. It was a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Thankful, none of it was mine!
