Stop the Internet "Kill-Switch" Bill
Senator Joe Lieberman recently sponsored a bill that would, and I quote, allow the president to "seize control or even shut down portions of the internet" in times of crisis. The measure is being defended (rather weakly, IMO) with the claim that in the event of an attack it will be necessary to have...

Re: Religious Fundamentalists vs. Conspiracy Theorists
At first I thought they were two sides of the same coin, equally aggravating. But after getting into a heated discussion with some nuts who keep claiming that the 9/11 attacks were planned by Israel and/or the Bush admin and other such nonsense, I'm going to have to revise my earlier belief and say ...

Re: Bluedogs
I don't know why DCS keeps up this facade that she's so "enlightened" simply because she caters to the far left and insults anyone and everyone who doesn't fall in lockstep with her viewpoints. She is as arrogant, condescending, hostile and hateful as she was back when she was doing "Ozy and Millie"...

The anti-vaccine movement is driving me nuts
I am really getting sick of these whackjobs. Their constant parroting of the "vaccines cause autism!" lie, groundless conspiracies about how "Big pharma" wants to use children as guinea pigs, and other assorted bull is driving me nuts. They are advocating fearmongering and pseudoscience that will ul...

Re: The case for libertarianism
Dude, I'M a Libertarian. the argument here was too verbose, and after reading it through completely, I still don't know which angle you were approaching this from. It basically said "These are the stereotypes!" and then a bullet-point list without explanation ending with a statement stating that it...
