What are you talking about? Surely you've seen people who keep dogs as pets. They lead entirely normal lives, for the most part. And you must have also seen people who have not just one dog, but two or more, and they still have a norma

I agree, it was not paranoia. Hemingway was recruited by the KGB and was eager to offer his services. The only reason he didn't last long as a Russian agent is that they ended up not finding him very useful. [1] He thought the FBI was

Does anybody else get a Bernie Sanders type of feeling from this? A throwback to older issues and older battles, not seen since the 90s? It's refreshing to see that someone still cares about the rainforests, but I don't know if it

The Caltrain downtown extension (DTX) is going to cost $10 billion (or more) because the planners have no real incentive to control costs, not because it has to. First, note that the "Pennsylvania alignment" has little to do with

I believe that, if we work together, the Bay Area has the ability to raise $100B in taxes. I don't believe for a second that our ruling class will be able to do anything useful with it. And I say this as a mass transit user and support

What does a demographic transition that started in the 70s and has "long since" taken hold have to do with recent construction? That's not even an argument, it's pure sleight of hand. It only seems convincing to you beca
