Do you mean the photon drive would work against Talibangelical fundies? If directed in one direction forcefully, maybe into their eyes? It would indeed be a fun experiment 🙂.
Given the smirk with which Cynthia Lummis delivered her remarks, I find her "apology" rings hollow. She absolutely intended to offend people. At their graduation. That'll teach those Wyoming urban elites a thing or two.
In Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut claims the Tralfamadorians know that it takes five sexes to create a human baby. Science (and Wyoming shitstirrers) should try to catch up with art.
Yes, but whether religious texts or government laws, they all remain 'man-made' rights. Zealots continue to infer their laws aren't man-mad but Magical Invisible God-made laws (written by invisible men). So, ipso facto jazz-hands therefore religious texts are 'more important', is what is so galling.
That the Christian religion has women listed as chattel in the original texts of the Ten Suggestions is pretty much the reason we are currently having to deal with the stubborn rejection of science and reality. Their entire patriarchal power structure is at stake, and so they chuck out democracy for demonology.
Young people vote more now than since the late 60s. Certainly more tgan in my generation. Folks are still pushing that tired old trope. Mostly out of habit …For whatever reason, young folks have never been the strongest voter bloc, but they’re showing up now in record numbers.
Agreed. The question is how much can the GOP leverage the built-in anti-democratic advantages of gerrymandering and the electoral college/senate seat inequities to make life hard for the people they hate due fear and ignorance..
She ought to know that the line "endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights," is in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution. And the men who drafted it were children of the 18th century enlightenment, not the 17th century Puritan colonies. They didn't say WHICH creator they had in mind. It may well have been the impersonal "god of nature" concept that became widespread in the enlightenment, a creator who produced the universe and endowed it with natural laws like gravitation and chemical combination, and after that left it alone - not the fundamentalist God of the Bible that evangelicals and hard line right wingers espouse.Not that it really matters which creator they meant. The concept of an all-powerful creator is a religious one, and the U.S. Constitution is definite about barring an official state religion. It also guarantees the right to follow any religion without hindrance, Shinto, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism, and witchcraft or voodoo - or worship of the Golden Calf if that's your preference.Or no religion at all.

No, because if they were fetus's, then Republicans would care about them. You're flagged.

...and four of them are embodied in the breathtaking Valerie Perrine.
these people suck
I hope so!

“And the good ones are SO much better than we were.”
Truth.
They are in an existential fight for their lives, we never really were ( if white that is)
They will rise to the occasion. Of that I’m certain

Yup
Seconded
They’re building their house on a rotten foundation. It simply cannot stand, by DEFINITION
The question then becomes why do the bad guys get to control the narrative. Why do we allow this keep happening?

For someone like TFG, frail and prone to falling over, the equal and opposite reaction law means that a flashlight is a dangerous thing to hold.
