I think I agree with that small percentage.

but man, nothing ever stops in this country at the point it was supposed to.

OxyContin was originally ONLY FOR CANCER. now it’s given out for pain without any x rays needed.

gun control I the classic slippery slope.

abortion is another. now it’s partial. soon it will be out of the womb and left on a table.

too many slippery slopes in this country

and lobbyists. too many dam lobbyists.

trumps money should make him an honest man in the WH

BTW, what’s going on tonight.

Must have debated 8 trump people and no mud slinging or insults on either side?

it’s a BEAUTFUL thing :)

makes it so much more enjoyable.

Don’t think that recognizing true genius is making others less valuable or less worthy. A genius chemist could be a talented plumber if the opportunity to unlock their genius was never available. Just like a top tier concert pianist would never be known without a piano.

Most geniuses are extremely humble and often timid. They have genetics that allow them to see or create things that normal people can’t fathom. But they often don’t know how to make a fine wine or cook a good steak, and without such things life can be miserable.

It just so happens we seek out the science geniuses (both domestic and foreign) and try to recruit them to our science infrastructure and way of life. But it’s becoming increasingly difficult because of our messed up politics. When we can’t get the top talent either domestically or abroad, we lose. And getting cheap tech workers is a loser too.
