Just draw the districts in the future with a non-partisan commission. Forget the past.

Yes, Dallas, old courthouse, saturday 8am to about 12.

Copper (set in 1860s New York) Larva (?) cartoon shorts first season is great; others not (kids section, very worthwhile for adults...safe for kids) The foreign language series of 3 movies: re: Girl who kicked the hornets nest (Daniel Craig english language version of one in the series is pretty good too) Bomb Girls (Canadian, WW2 era) Call the Mid-Wife (British, worth a shot) Several others already mentioned: The Killing, Longmire, Hell on Wheels, etc I didn't last long with Sons of Anarchy either. Ted Talks (search through subjects, try a few with an open mind (g

We should still repeal and replace Obamacare but only if it is replaced with a well designed single-payer system. Any real conservative would be pushing for that. It is a real indicator as to whether someone is both knowledgeable and actually conservative. If you aren't for that, you are either unaware of the implications or very much NOT a fiscal conservative. It would be a huge economic boost for this country. It would save trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of American lives.

It could have worked and would have worked except for the power of the profiteers in our system. Vermont would have been forced to keep 2 systems instead of just a single-payer system. If your question is serious, and you actually seek truth on the subject, you will find that single-payer, in many flavors, saves live and money all over this world. It isn't just Vermont where love of money wins over what is more morally and fiscally superior. I subsidize you every day... and vice-versa. Nothing wrong with society providing an environment conducive to commerce and "the general welfare."

Could be that cockroaches win out if we screw ourselves and our little planet enough.

Remember the couple that fought constantly? When Andy got them to be nice to one another, they started being mean as hell to everyone else! Not coincidentally, they were one of the married couples in Mayberry.

The Civil War was about slavery. Many speeches by high ranking Confederate officials prove they believed it was about slavery and the inferior nature of black people. It was also about treason. The very best Confederate flag was the White flag they wave after they had their asses kicked. I say this as a proud southern native and life long resident. I don't have to proud of shameful things just because I am a true Southerner. Those assholes caused 600,000 Americans to die and catastrophic damage to this nation. It was treason.

The way most people discuss "theory" implies they believe a theory is more like a thought that is not even to the stage of being a good serious hypothesis. When something becomes a scientifically valid theory, enough evidence and facts have been tested to cause scientists believe it is true. It can still be tested and that testing usually provides additional verification to make it more solid to believe the theory is true. Peaches is beyond most folks who are in this discussion and I understand her frustration.

Much of the Theory of Relativity has been proven to be true. For instance, time passage can actually be slowed and the speed of light in a vacuum can't be slowed or sped up. Particles that have a very definite known time of existence can have their "lifetime" lengthened by causing the particle to move very fast. The amount of lengthened existence is accurately predicted by the math derived from Einstein's theory.

Evolution is real. Mass extinctions are real too. We are very likely in or beginning a mass extinction right now. Evolution doesn't magically cause sufficient quick enough adaptation. Losing the ability to acquire food could be pretty problematic if say massive amounts of our croplands become sort of desert like.

West Georgia Spy-Neuter in Villa Rica will fix feral male or female cats plus 2 vacs for $25. They must be brought in a live trap. They can be released and will become less aggressive. They clip the tip of the left ear so you can tell they have been fixed from a distance. A can of mackerel works better than cat food.

The Paulding Tunnels are more real than Obama's imminent invasion of Texas.

He finds trouble repeatedly basically he is an asshole. With a better man than Zimmerman that night, Trayvon, with his faults, would probably still be alive, probably in college, and possibly developing into a much better human being than Zimmerman has been so far. Instead, Zimmerman was there.

Single-payer JUST LIKE NEARLY EVERY OTHER BIG BOY COUNTRY ON EARTH. Decades of success for billions of people who would be horrified to think of trading what they have for what we have here. Before or after Obamacare.

Said the future murderer....

He was the King.

If the anti-fiscal responsibility fake conservative state government turns down medicaid expansion, it should be with the full knowledge that some of their citizens will die because of that. Others will need disability for a long life because they will not get treatment in time to resume being a working taxpayer. I know of a case where possibly over a million dollars was spent on serious surgeries and extended care when probably less than $2000 could have prevented the illness from getting serious. False economy - this fake conservatism.

Are you using XP? If so, there is an NPAPI support toggle that can be set to get back NPAPI support that is needed for Flash Player to work. Google stopped support of NPAPI which causes Flash support with XP (no matter the browser) to fail. (about a month ago) For Chrome, type this into url line: chrome://flags/#enable-npapi Toggle ONLY npapi support "on." Leave the other stuff alone.

I have heard what Johnson said and can't for the life of me believe he really thought the actual land mass would tip over. He obviously had been reading the book called "The Tipping Point" which is about getting to the point of no return. He did not believe the island would physically flip over. It's kind of like a child hears an adult misspeak and intentionally misunderstands the real meaning. The key point being here that Johnson is an adult that misspoke. Immaturity is believing the silly thing he obviously did not mean to convey. The idiots talking about Texas being invaded soon are ac

I was loosely quoting some things I've heard from a senior trainer of LEO with 30 plus years experience. He was reviewing some situations where in his opinion the police could have maybe waited for back-up, been a little less aggressive, waited a few seconds before pressing to physical confrontation, been a little more patient, etc and killed and been killed less. His street policing experience and decades of training people who train people who train people and just general smarts were pretty convincing. He pretty convincingly asserted that way too many escalations and needless deaths oc

Maybe if more police men and women acted like Andy Taylor and less like a trigger happy Barney Fife with a machine gun instead of one bullet for his revolver there might be a lot less police and civilian deaths. Most cops I know ARE more like Andy Taylor. But I've heard some veteran policemen who are Trainers say that many other trainers are promoting the wrong philosophies regarding tension escalation, having to kill and win NOW versus allowing a little bluster from a suspect and waiting a few seconds or minutes to arrest and cuff. Something is wrong though when the culture we came from t

Yep, the higher the percentage of folks carrying, the safer we all are. Our murder and death rates versus other advanced countries' murder and death rates proves just how true that is. Honest. The NRA's recent policy positions (which are WAY different than their more sane policy positions from the past) are just fine, sensible, safe and borne out by real facts. Honest. Even though their past policies would make their recent policy positions seem actually certifiably insane.

So, more guns make us safer? Gun control doesn't work? Yes it is a different world. You have to go to places with active shooting wars to get death rates anywhere close to ours.

Our decision making algorithm is flawed.
