We have found the grey area. Is this the barbarian knocking at the door? Justifying self defense?
Who decides?
The Constitution says the people, through their representatives in congress by declaring war or not.
Sending kids to die should not be the choice of the President.
But congress has been dodging their responsibility for more than 50 yrs so why should it change now.

Marty didn't tell us we have new things in the place where we used to have just the like button. And new buttons here too. What is a smear. And what's this whisper thing?

Difference between being pro something and not anti something.
I don't think Trump is pro gun just not anti gun.
Mostly Trump is a leftist who thinks government has a place in people's lives.
Hard right would be getting government out of people's lives - if you believe government is the answer you are leftist.

Third party, was I too drunk to remember the first two parties. Did I wear a lamp shade or shoot apples off Marty's head?

So somebody FINALLY found something to do with that stuff besides just let it overrun the garden. Exploding targets.

But that adds one more level to the question of probability. That is, it is exponentially more difficult to find mutations that have aided in the survival of multi-celled organisms than it is to find mutations that have instantly died out. Question of scale. 1 in a million aid survival. 1.00x10 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 mutations per sec

Enough. I have enough stuff wrong with me I don't need something else to go bad. Sorry gout sufferers. I see Henry the Eighth with his foot on the pillow sucking down port and eating a joint of red stag.

Doug, that would seem to be anecdotal, rather than scientific. Me having malaria is anecdotal. DDT crushing malaria in the south so it was no longer a childhood disease is scientific. As I was a wee wippersnapper my accounts of that time are anecdotal. The malaria I've had since then is scientific. Frequency of relapses decreases with time, I haven't had one in 30 years but they were common in my youth.

"I'm sure there were upper class and lower class dinosaurs. Some dinosaurs probably had no class at all, not unlike humans." Golf, the Simpsons, and NASCAR I played for an hour and a half and feel much more mellow.

(As an aside, the banning of DDT has had tragic human consequences. Used properly, unlike it's overuse back then, it's environmental impact is less than the current alternatives.) The over use back then is why people my age are the last in the US to have malaria as a childhood disease. But it's coming back. National Malaria Eradication Program

Humans are part of nature. Climate change is caused by human activity. Therefore climate change is natural. This is listed in the logic textbooks under "equivocation." Not according to the definition of "equivocation" I just read. "the use of ambiguous language to conceal the truth or to avoid committing oneself; prevarication."
