LOL- I just came across this quote today by total random chance:

"The schools have no more important task than to teach rigorous thinking, cautious judgment, and consistent inference; therefore they should leave alone whatever is not suitable for these operations: religion, for example."  F. Nietzsche

The statement is true.

So I read a review recently to the effect that Nietzsche is supposedly the most mis-represented writer of his era, basically that his penchant for turning artful phrases resulted in his being quoted as supporting positions he was only describing. Anyway, having never read him in bulk I just amazoned a collection. I’ll let you know I if want to take up his case. 🥸

She was always a good looking woman.  Her daughter was not attractive at all.  The dumb and the politics would make it a non-starter.

I know somebody who dated one of her sons in high school. I noticed that person unfriended on Facebook me at some point since I started ranting and raving about how fucking stupid everybody was being during COVID, so probably sees eye to eye with the Palins.

And having a sister who was nuttier  than he was (and was evil personified… and was his “caregiver”.. and his “mouthpiece” when he couldn’t even talk anymore) … sure didn’t help .

I would throw Karl Marx into this conversation if he meets the criteria.  Wikipedia tells me they lived in similar time.

I've had multiple people who had COVID tell me how awful it was to quarantine for a week.

They eventually reversed course, but you can see the voter suppression in action.

Gabriel Garcia seems like quite an idiot if he thinks that somehow he was recalled to active service by Trump shouting.

Yeah, the “feds” tend to be a problem for those who plot anti-Constitutional coups.

Who the did independent voters in Virginia think they were voting for in Youngkin? How many times do people have to learn that you can't run government like a business and that private sector experience often times translates poorly into running a service-based, non-profit, public sector entity?

It’s getting to the point that if he and his acolytes get elected and they overturn our democracy, it’ll be our own damn fault, because he’ll have spent years telling us they were going to do just that, and we will have not stopped them.
