   You made a bunch of assertions that amount to taking even more money from American taxpayers. It’s your responsibility to present the deliverables and their cost.

   Love that story! > He said he had perfect pitch and it was really annoying because almost everything was out of tune. I very much feel I would share that feeling if I had it.

   Why should I already know? I’m not the one volunteering even more of Americans’ hard-won tax dollars to save people in other countries when we have many, many people hurting in our own country. Those in favor of taking more of my money are

   > apparently what you (or actually we) are feeling is a fight-or-flight response. OK I can come out of the closet. These sounds provoke a kind of panic inside me, but I never connected it to fight or flight. Feels very right to me.

   Virtually, no one died because of those disasters, surprisingly. Nuclear is infinitely safer than most other forms of energy and it has a better environmental footprint.

    Lol I hate myself! But I’m sure the doc will be more interesting to you than my teacher’s 1920s kindergarten tales. I found her fascinating though.

    Exactly as you describe. Agonizing but it sounds insane to people so you can’t say anything. I excuse myself from social situations more than once a week.

    What percentage of Americans’ income should go to these projects? And should we take care of our own citizens first?

    That is a very interesting constellation of symptoms. Thank you for sharing, and I feel for you. I have much acute sensitive hearing response than the rest of my family and friends and it’s a hard thing to explain with no one else notices.

    My theory and composition teacher in college went through this same thing 100 years ago. I noticed she had a perfect pitch and asked her why. She told an identical story: that, at the kindergarten level, her entire class was taught how to r

    > To be fair, there are no good guys in history. Disagree strongly. On balance the American framers (Washington, Adams, Hamilton, Mason, Jefferson, et. al) were amazingly good for the world, far better than Marx, Lenin, Mao, etc.
