He says he saw pictures and other reports. When they are produced, I'll believe.

Companies With Republican CEOs Pay More TaxesPosted By Robert Schmall |
Read it more carefully. Companies led by Republican-leaning CEOS paid more in taxes. Not a higher percentage of taxes due. Nor did those companies led by Democrat-leaners pay less than what was due. This is more accurately interpreted as meaning that larger companies (those that pay more taxes) tend to be led by Rpeublican-leaners.

Interesting Sign In TexasPosted By Robert Schmall |
My favorite is the road sign in New Mexico that says, "Caution, objects on other side of hill are not visible."

Is This What It's All About?Posted By Robert Schmall |
For some people, yes. For others, it's communism. But for the overwhelming number of progressive thinkers in America, it's neither. They just choose iliberalism. Study your American history and you will learn that this country has never had a viable far left or far right-- e.g., the German-American bund of the 1930s, the American communist party of the same decade, neither of which meant anything politically or socially. We tend not to stray very far from the center.
This is said in the face of the ridiculous black/white viewpoint prevalent in modern American politics, in which anyone with a slightly more liberal or conservative outlook than the "correct" view is reflexively consigned to the opposite end of the spectrum.
I think most people have a fair range of opinions. A couple of examples: the first from Soc 101. Truly rich folks can afford to be socially liberal, they don't feel threatened. But they are often very conservative on fiscal policy. The poor, of course, might tend to feel exactly the reverse. Second, the outpouring of sympathy for the victims of the latest mass killings, in my home town of Milwaukee, came from everywhere.
In short, there is a simple answer for everything, and it is always wrong.

Is there good and evil - who is in charge here on.Posted By Robert Schmall |
That's a pretty big leap from a few look-at-me starlets to Good v. Evil on earth. I don't like the "ho" look either, but it will never change.
For a little perspective, it's estimated by historians that about 25% of all marriages during the late colonial period involved artillery. The difference between then and now is that although the bride was pregnant, she got married to the father.
More perspective, a survery taken of Union armies during the Civil War in 1863 (?) showed that 40% had some form of sexually transmitted disease. See The Stories the Soldiers Wouldn't Tell: Sex in the Civil War" Warning: the book contains some CW porn pix.
More perspective: We got the 1934 movie Tarzan and His Mate" from Netflix. It has a long sequence of the two (who had never been formally married) swimming nude, with full frontals of Jane.
Thus shall it ever be.

No doubt there was a thermometer malfunction that caused the liberal managers to run around screaming about The End Of The World. No doubt.
