Fire ecology and native landscape restoration. Constantly birding. “A better tomorrow takes your best today!” @JohnKivikoski at the bad place.
Honestly, I don’t know how political persecution works in a country with more guns than people. I mean, at which point does the law break down and we become a de facto failed state? How many “Ruby Ridge” scenarios will occur? Will law enforcement sell their soul for unfettered power? Scary times…

I’ve never heard the last word used in that context, guess I’m more sheltered than I thought!?

And, incidentally, they claim to have all the guns. Fun times!!!

It’s been said that they don’t need the money, it’s only a way of keeping score, and their behavior only highlights the point. Blind greed with the goal of being the greediest person on earth…

But…but…cutting his taxes even more will lead to even more charity, like the last one did.

When the say “trickle down” they mean “trickle on”…

Had a discussion with close friend this morning: are we on track to become a failed state? I honestly question the resilience of our institutions at this point. We have all the legal authority to keep trump from power, yet we’re like “oh well, it was a good run…”

It seems to me many people are quite ignorant to basic facts, and have little to no desire to change. When they hear a politician scream “high crime, bad economy, evil immigrants” it must be true because why would the media parrot it if not so. Seeking out more info would only hurt their world view.

Condensed example: “The E. coli recall is fake, and the real reason is to punish meat packers for not vaccinating their herds.” How do you combat that level of ignorance, willful or otherwise???

I had this discussion with my daughter a few month ago. She’s in her final year of nursing school and one of her classes covered patient communications. She said the average adult reading comprehension was at the 3rd grade level. We are in so much trouble…
