Heh ... ridiculous rantiness ... I love that description of Dave!
-
Well, I have an excuse with my blurred vision.
-
And an off topic comment ... typing and reading with your eyes dilated gives one a head ache ... but no more regression in my eyes, so yay for that.

I don't have one, single problem with Sanders bringing these issues to the table. And I don't think he is doing this for his own spotlight. These are genuine issues and yes, I believe we will get there eventually. But I think his idealism on how we do that isn't practical, or even possible. And it's not about the possibilities that what he is proposing could be successful ... it just won't happen as long as Congress is what it is. And that's not me throwing in the towel saying 'It can't happen therefor don't try.' it's me saying we need to try a different way than he is proposing. And that is my problem with many/some Bernie supporters. As I read in my FB feed, the smugness of some (not you, Craig ) of them, it's really tiresome and irksome. It's their way or no way and that kind of politics just doesn't succeed without the backing of all sides.

Another super-Tuesday ... just got done voting ... some interesting races for me in Illinois. Tammy Duckworth for U.S. Senate and Julianna Stratton for State Rep. I loved being able to vote for amazing, intelligent, competent WOMEN! (And Hillary, too!)

It's not HOT, but I'll give you plenty warm, mid-80s perfect. Don't forget your sunscreen! -
Game Thread: ST Game #14, Twins @ Cardinals, 3/14 @ 12:05pm CT
Squirrel replied to Squirrel's topic in Archived Game Threads
Yeah, actually, it is. It's some of those players that are still 'undecided,' so I'd almost rather see what they do than the ones we know 'for sure.' -
This game is being televised on the MLB Network today, if you get it ... which means it will likely be streamed for free, yes? Anyway ... I will get to watch it on a real TV today. Yay! Lineups: TWINS Polanco 2B Rosario CF Plouffe 3B Vargas DH Park 1B Arcia LF Escobar SS Hicks C Kepler RF Milone P CARDINALS Carpenter 3B Piscotty RF Holliday 1B Grichuk CF Gyorko SS Adams DH Garcia, A LF Garcia, G 2B Molina C Leake P Umpires: Buckner (h), Hernandez (1), Estabrook (2), DeJesus (3)

I have a difficult time with potato chips these days. Thank you, acid reflux, thank you.
-
Mmmmmm, pi.

Yeah, Seth just put out the article (found on the front page or in the Minor League forum).
-
Lol ... you guys crack me up.

Question for Joe Benson: If you weren't a Twin, Cubs or White Sox?
-
I live in walking distance to Soldier Field. I'm not a huge football person, but my motto is: If the Packers lose, that's a good day.

Yeah, I'd be careful of the crunchy bits in the salad.

This is great, Seth! If Joe Benson is ever looking for a taker on his Bears tickets, I know a devoted Twins fan who would be happy for them!

But spring is a drier season. During humid rainy season you will see an uptick of skeeters. And, have to say, in all my time here I have never once seen a roach or Scorpion
-
For me none of those are an issue. No-see-ems, on the other hand, ugh. But wearing bug spray solves the problem. My parents building abuts a preserve, so evenings can get mosquito-y. But no worse than anywhere in MN.

I don't disagree with any if this. And I, too, agree to err on the side of caution. But if Trump is indeed telling his followers to 'Get that guy,' 'Smack him down,' or even 'Kill,' when do we intervene for real? When does it become hate speech? The second paragraph, yes, this, so many times this. And I've said it before, until we understand why those who support him do, other than the blatant racist part, we will have a difficult time overcoming it. And posting memes all over and comedians basically saying 'How stupid are you?' only enrages them even more.
-
But this brings me back to the issue ... when is it hate speech? Freedom of speech/press don't allow that. These freedoms are not unlimited.
-
Yeah, I don't know. But maybe our protests should (also) be directed at the media, for giving his special form of hate speech a platform.
-
It isn't a trend I like seeing, no matter the side. But this has been going on on the right for decades. To all of a sudden try to hold the left to a higher standard for a practice that has been going on for decades on the right is not a good argument, IMO.
-
Then I stand corrected. However, protesters inciting violence, too, is still not the answer. Honestly, I just wish the media wouldn't cover him like they do.
-
Come on, Levi ... this is not a liberal agenda. It's an increasing trend from ALL sides to shut down speech that is disagreed with. And being female I can tell you it's also been an agenda on the right for a very long time. It's a fine line to figure out where free speech ends and hate speech begins, but if actions that we are seeing towards specific groups and individuals are a result of Trump's orations, then I have to label it hate speech. It has emboldened people to commit assault and murder, and that's where the line is. While Trump hasn't specifically said to go out and commit these crimes against humanity, and maybe legally we can't shut down his speaking, I certainly understand the protest over it. But I still stand by non-violent protest, and in this case I think the protesters are going about it wrong in fueling Trump and his supporters. Too many people are standing on the side lines saying, 'This won't happen,' 'The American people are better than this.' But I just don't know anymore.
