Sunday School 1 year, 2 months agoPerhaps the shortest, but certainly one of the shortest, great speeches in American history. Mario Savio’s speech on the steps of Sproul Hall during the so-called “Free Speech Movement.”

How do we get the country back on track? Trump isn’t smart enough to know he’s being played, so he plays his role as figurehead while Musk calls most of the shots. And the shots he does call are likely handed to him by Elon in a “When I want your opinion, I’ll give it to you” fashion.
So, Musk is busily tearing our democracy apart and our…[Read more]

Every relationship you’ll ever have will end badly, except maybe for the one you are in now or the one after that.
Truest words ever spoke. I’m stealing it. 😂
I don’t remember, but there’s half a chance I heard it from someone else and it stuck in my mind.

I know all that and the verdict of the judge and jury still controls all, whether criminal or civil.

If this occured as you stated, isn’t it obligatory on someone to inform law enforcement and for there to be a criminal trial, not just a civil trial?The incident occurred 30 years ago and it was a different world for women back then, well before Me Too.

One of my nephews was suffering due to having been dumped and I had to deliver the bad news: Every relationship you’ll ever have will end badly, except maybe for the one you are in now or the one after that.

Whatever Trump’s many other flaws, this side of our borders, rape is not a civil tort that is adjudicated.

Whatever Kamala’s flaws, I can easily place more trust in her than a three-time adulterer, adjudicated rapist, and convicted tax cheat who is currently turning the United States into a Russian asset. Today, Trump announced that, far from increasing sanctions, he’s preparing to do tremendous “deals” with Putin.
Are you with Trump or Kamala…[Read more]

So, you’re saying that European Jews moved into Palestine and created Israel through individual economically fair and uncoerced land purchases at something like actual market value.
Got proof. And not a picture of just one receipt. One can’t tell from a receipt whether a transaction was done under duress.

Trump is right in that Canada has a strategically important northern coastline which if we controlled it would add to our national security. He’s nuts, however, if he thinks turning Canada into a state would be a political advantage to him or the GOP. Which party would Canadians then tend to vote for? I think you know the answer to that and their…[Read more]
