[Paulus Invictus]

I cannot stand reading the LA Slimes, but my sister is hooked on her daily dose of hate from writers on that commie rag. She claims she "balances" the Slimes with a San Fernando Valley paper whose editorial policy is farther right, but the leftist Slimes has messed up her mind in many ways. She voted for RATs.

As for intuition, I use it often over the skewed data and unbalanced group thinking from people who think they have studied all "the facts" and yet continually make stupid decisions. It happens all the time in business and government where "think tanks" churn out erroneous information and use it as facts. Since the first devastating terrorist attacks, way back in the 80's in Lebanon, there are two agencies that make many truly asinine decisions based upon flawed data: the CIA and the FBI.

Funny... I was just thinking of how often my Liberal sister loves to stress the superiority of intuitiveness to conscious decisionmaking.

When we used to talk politics, she didn't like it when I (rarely) questioned (i.e., applied logic to) some stance taken by her adored "Leftist Spokesperson de Jour."

Once in a while I would get tired of quietly listening to her go on and on, about her political involvements and I would make a comment.

The last time we talked politics, I questioned too much of what she said and she got angry. I suggested we completely stop talking about politics. Our conversations are much more pleasant now.

I know longer have to turn down her offers to send me money to buy a ticket to see the latest Michael Moore film.
