There's actually a decent canary to determine whether this is the opening salvo of a purge. If Twitter bans @ScottAdamsSays - whom some have called a Trump apologist but who doesn't seem overtly racist - then we'll know the p

Has the other shoe dropped yet? Having gone after the figureheads, who's next? Their followers? Smells like the beginnings of a witch hunt.

>I personally don't have serious qualms with a Jeffersonian paternalistic republic, so long as I have the power to vote the "parents" out of power when they fail to represent my interests. Well that's the real trick,

That's a workable idea. The residency slot shortage could be addressed by building more hospitals. In most US states, that's a problem thanks to certificates of need. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certifica

If this gets any traction, I might consider giving BHO a C+ grade for his administration.

I cringe every time I hear the words "resonance" or "optics" used in politics. OTOH, physics uses the term "laws" to describe absolute and unbreakable phenomena. In real life, laws are considerably more flexibl

I could not glean from the arxiv paper how far away these anomalous stars were from Earth. Assuming c is a hard limit, the ETI would have to be roughly 50 LY away to catch our first signals and send a beacon signal. If instead they observed

Denial is proof. At least when discussing sensitive topics such as racism. So we can agree that there's at least a possiblity > 0% the US State Dept. might have twisted an Ecuadorian arm or two?
