I agree and I think I'm in the minority of people who are better off in a large SUV. We have 7 in our family so need a minivan at the least. I don't think they make station wagons with 7 seats anymore. We live in a climate with lo

I used to sing hymns in church backwards under my breath. I'm not fast, but I can talk backwards too if it's just word by word. Thinking of and saying an entire sentence back to front is significantly harder.

Your comment says a lot with few words. I agree, it starts with or at least includes education. You know how hard this is? It's not school, it's parents. Let your kids disagree with you, be respectful of people you obviously disag

Useless if censored. Censored people have to resort to the same channels and tactics that crackpots do if they truly believe in their discoveries and that just exacerbates the problem. But censorship of unpopular opinion has always been goi
