Yes, it does — much to the irritation of progressives.
Health, wealth, and other physical desires/needs--perhaps. But that doesn't make it "better."
Odds of being killed by a microorganism, down.
Odds of being killed by a sword-wielding Jihadi, way, way up.
--and a very happy 'feel good' Monday morning to all!! Last week ended w/ a NASDAQ gap up in hefty volume and this morning futures traders say we now got another 0.68% in store. They really ought to tell us the time frame tho, as SAJ was telling me this page doesn't say the contract date while this gloomy page does... Metals continue their controlled profit taking being seen by futures @ -0.31%.

That's for sure, you'd think they'd be happy about success but progressives are permanently in denial over any well, progress.
Ah. Then again, if you want you can always sicken in miserable squalor and enjoy pontificating about your moral superiority...
Yeah—because those are the only two choices we have, right?
That's not very strong and they were down anyway at that point.
...progressives are permanently in denial over any well, progress.
Bush's fault. The 43 one, I mean.
Most folks threatened by "a sword-wielding Jihadi," have seen Indiana Jones.
Oh my goodness, you're right! We're dooomed!!!!
Hey, it’s the Democrat theme song.
IJones and the sword-wielding Jihadi were supposed to have a big fight scene but Ford was dealing w/ dysentery and told Spielberg “Let’s just shoot the sucker.” So they did.
Mega-stars (and super heroes) have real life problems to deal with sometimes.
Hard to say which futures contracts they mean, but rechecking this morning's list here they've been trending up nicely.
Ford's a real trooper. He got his back super messed up on the elephant in the second movie and they had to shut the whole thing down and put him in the hospital.
Shadow, dude, YOU were the first one to initiate the false choice....
I agree that from a health/wealth perspective, we are better off. We are not better off from a moral perspective.
That's all I was saying.
The world is more corrupt, violent and depraved than ever before. And it is about to get much, much worse. The Great Restrainer is loosing his grip and demonic activity is increasing exponentially. Don’t take the Mark.
