This seems to show how an individual's subjective view can be pushed to the ultimate extreme. If through my senses as I walk around my patch of the earth I can't see any "roundness" in the earth, a round earth must not exist! I'd be surprised if round earthers believe in climate change. It was 10 ...

One columnist points out that he'll get lower prices, lower inflation, if he plays golf instead of doing any of the crazy stuff like sky high tariffs and mass deportations. Do nothing, and he'll be able to claim Biden's economy--basically a strong one--as his own. Of course prices won't come down to ...

A lot of good stuff there about the real-world consequences of another Trump shit storm. But I fear that Trump as a cultic figure doesn't have to face the consequences an ordinary politician would. He doesn't deliver on his promises? So what, we love the guy anyway just for being him. He hates the ...

No doubt gender played a significant role. I have to think, though, that if Republicans had turned to Haley, and Dems had nominated a man, Haley could likely have won--and I don't know what to make of that.

Historically, it's been hard for a sitting VP to win. Only the first Bush has done it in ...

Lot of finger-pointing going on to explain the loss--how Harris took the wrong tack, how Democrats got wound up in woke nonsense and lost the average Joe and Josie; most of all, how Biden hung on too along after his expiration date. But this disastrous re-crowning of the perpetrator Trump is all on ...

"Illegals immigrants vote in droves - why do you think the Democrats are so hot to maintain 'sanctuary cities'? In a sanctuary city, you can't ask "Are you here illegally." They get drivers' licenses, and they use them to vote. This is pretty well documented."

Now you get to show this convincing ...

I haven't been around for a long while, but this morning I happened to wonder what the BT folks might be saying about this very issue! It's, what, 28 days until an extremely important day?

Chris, I must say you don't actually appear torn about this choice, just not able to be all in on Harris. I ...

If "God" is Robert Tulip's metaphor then, yes, I believe in him/her/it. Otherwise, a definition would be helpful. :-D

As you and I have said, the God concept is protean. It's as though there are a hundred types of hammer, so if I ask you to get me one I need to describe it in particular, or else ...

I think Biden has done a decent job as president, overall, and I mean not just relative to Trump, who set the bar so low. But the student debt relief bill was one of his blunders, along with the Afghanistan withdrawal and overcooking the economy with coronavirus relief. Some are saying that his ...

Incredible reply, Robert (I mean that in the complimentary sense). I see that your efforts to redeem astrology center on climate effects, which as you say will affect evolution and culture. The "weak astrological effects" mentioned at the end, though, are probably more in line with traditional ...
