Robert, principally and primarily, evolution. I wrote a long piece for The New Individualist arguing that the American right will keep losing and deserve to lose if it insists on indulging creationism and the rest. You can find that column here:

Very Good article. My wife and I agree with it completely.
Hugo:
Please explain what you mean by- playing footsie with reactionary superstition. The phrase has no general meaning for a common person like me.

Contemplationist, that would be the case if it were not for this habit of playing footsie with reactionary superstition.

Making people able to think and reason. The weak link in the Libertarian’s chain. Come to think that’s the weak link in anybody’s chain.

Now we can throw this in liberals’ faces when they argue emotionally while simultaneously thinking of themselves as more intellectual and smart.

You seem to be implying that women are not just men with breasts (you evil politically incorrect sexist!). Perhaps the TSA will validate these conjectures with their new probing! I found that Linda and I brought different strengths to our marriage with our somewhat COMPLIMENTARY but orthogonal skills – the following is excerpted from my speech at her memorial service on 11/11/2001:

“In many ways, we were very different. For example, she did not take a single physics course in college – and I endeavored to take nothing but physics. She was far better at reading people and I was far better at reading charts. I was concerned with getting places on time and she would be concerned with what we wore. And when things worked well, we were very complimentary to each other – using each other’s strengths to overcome our shortcomings. As Linda observed, we had both lived on our own for a long time and we had to both adjust. We generally agreed on almost all the big questions and fought like cats and dogs on the most trivial. We were there for each other during the highs and the lows and, sadly, until the end.”

[That’s beautiful, Myron. Linda was a special lady. You’re a special guy.]

Did you lose power at home after the quake, Ilana?
