Indeed. Seeing the "Alternate Hill Valley" from Back to the Future II come to fruition only seems natural after the Cubbies' world title. I'm 100% in....lets ride this straight to the bottom.Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View PostComment

Trump is close to naming as Sec of State one of the primary advocates for the Iraq War...and a guy who's openly called for Iran to bombed

Wow...Trump's wants his kids to have the highest level of security clearance.
So they're going to be both running his business empire while also having access to all of the country's top secrets?

Thank you, DSL. That was a thoughtful, fair piece that makes several points that are my core beliefs. Glad I read it.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

I read that HBR piece. Solid piece, and one of the few that points out that Vance's book is not actually in praise of the culture but in fact the opposite.
IMO this is another very good version of this notion: https://www.propublica.org/article/r...orgotten-class. The quote from the woman who says ``they keep us too busy to know what's going on'' is killer. That makes her part of a very large crowd of people including some of the most famous political thinkers in history who can diagnose the problem just fine but struggle to know the solution. The latter is a lot harder, but the point is that people aren't stupid.
IMO, however, the bottom line is that there is an avalanche of these pieces basically say ``this is the fault of everyone other than the people who voted for him''. That's a classic case of the soft bigotry of low expectations. Blaming others because Trump voters had a tantrum is just another way of calling Trump voters stupid. They are grownups too and responsible for their actions.Last edited by hack; November 14, 2016, 09:25 PM.Comment

It's a good piece. It's not necessarily that folks don't want to be accountable, they don't want their genuine feelings trivialized as, eg, racist. Everyone wants their sincere feelings taken seriously, whether you're angry rural or BLM.
That said, at the end of the day we're all accountable and, to paraphrase/quote Cormac, the accounting is scrupulous.Last edited by iam416; November 14, 2016, 09:53 PM.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Graffiti is always a tough one to assess. It's probably valid, but there's more than a small chance it's staged. I mean, there's an entire database "hoax" hate crimes. There tends to be more currency in making the other side look like shit, so that's always in the back of my mind. As is -- some people are just asshats. Not that those lead to mutually exclusive conclusions.Last edited by iam416; November 15, 2016, 08:35 AM.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

You are correct, sir. Which was really my point with the "Assassinate Trump" comment. But there are a lot of stupid people on social media who actually put their name and picture next to their incendiary comments. I am always baffled by that.Originally posted by iam416 View PostI'll let you ban hate speech when you let me define hate speech.
