Football is a 10 year question, not a 150 year one.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=1181]I hope you buy the niece’s book. What an exemplary human being is Trump. I had a curious thought this morning. Perhaps a taste of true socialism is what the USA needs. But it will be a slow process and old guys will just fade away before it is here. The kids think they want it so let them deal with it.[/quote]
I don’t want socialism until I’m no longer a net tax payer. Then? Socialism is fine.

Golfing is actually a pretty good example.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=1133]Right on cue Doc espouses his platform. Nothing has changed. Boring. His last original thought came in 1975 which was, “There must be three Muncie’s and we can’t tackle any of them.”[/quote]

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)That’s really eye-popping.
Why don’t they just call it what it is: It’s a payroll tax that is intended to be stuck to the employer vs. the employee. Employees would vote if you stuck the very same tax to them. The company? not so much.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I don’t think she is that great, and she has both alienated police and emboldened criminals over the past month. She spoke up correctly yesterday but only after an 8 year old child was killed in a cop free zone that she has at least implicitly sanctioned.
her words were right, but actions leading up to them were questionable and probably disqualifying on a national stage.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Well, the white guy in the ga governor’s mansion decided that bottoms’s City is out of control and is calling out the national guard.
crazy times. Prosecute the police, call out the national guard.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Cool background story. Sounds like you have a lot to be proud of.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)At this point I would just about vote for Kanye.
and I agree. Sobering list. Exciting that we live in a society that has to sort this stuff out in public. Should be fun.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)An interesting scenario would be if trump were to withdraw. I don’t think he has it in him, but sure would like to contemplate the possibility of his successor.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)The positive rate has increased lately, but it is by no means “high” compared to May, when tests were becoming more readily available.
I’m not at all arguing against your point, but am trying to provide context. The recent blip in positive rates may mean people are getting sicker, but it can also mean that fewer doctors are ordering the tests for anybody who is curious. Greater test discipline has to be factored in.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I think of community organizers as being akin to union organizers and many people (not you) make the leap to a pithy “commie” implication. It is said for effect.
there are many community organizers who don’t go by that name, of course. Chambers of commerce would qualify. As would rotarians, lions clubs, and even YMCAs. I mean, jeez, the NRA are essentially community organizers, and damned good ones.
I DO think that these sorts of organizations are useful to improving things for a given community. I DO NOT believe that all of them are equivalent. Organizations that simply seek to accumulate power, regardless of ends, are the ones that should be the most examined. That’s my chief criticism of political parties.
and, hey, I have no issue with a city reallocating it’s resources to community services instead of police. What could be more american than letting localities govern themselves. That doesn’t mean I have to agree with what they are doing, of course, but then again I have the privilege of not having to live or work where these things matter. I’m astounded at how politicians will do things that their constituents “want” without explaining to them what it really means.
In other words, I’m no relativist, I just don’t give a shit what some politician or community organizer in Minnesota is doing beyond mere entertainment. If it works, we should all do it. If it doesn’t, then shame on them for not listening, and pity the poor man who can’t vote with his feet.
