They will ignore peer-reviewed studies, statistically sound surveys, indisputable data, and expert opinions, just because they want to save face. They will never admit that whatever they are advocating for has no logical basis. It's fine to talk about what your preferences are, and the reasons for them, but at least admit that those reasons may not apply to others. You are obviously NOT a scientist of any sort. Today if you read Science which covers lots of published papers what you see is NOT science but opinion with people going to rather shocking lengths to support those opinions. For that matter the left seems to be going crazy because we are not responding to their stupid cries for help. My wife has just told me they are teaching the grandchildren that honeybees are an invasive species that are killing off native bees. Say what? Native bees do fill the same ecological niche. Aside from most being pollinators of some sort, they have little to nothing in common. This is the science of today. |

Does this bother you? Are we also going to discuss your pension and what you do with it? Well I just wish that it were true that the wages were good! In reality they're terrible. Sounds like John is following Frank into the abyss of lies, for what reason it is unclear. Maybe he's still upset about Rivnuts. Lies? Is it a lie that you did post that you had been elected? Is it a lie that you did post that you and your wife had bought new cars... -- cheers, John B. |

I bought a new car about a year after I was elected. Is it okay to buy a new car after 21 years? Next time I'll check with you and Frank to be sure I'm allowed to do so. You may want to rethink your agenda, and whatever the reason it is for the behavior you're engaging in. It's not a good look for you. |

I have taken Steven's word at the effectiveness of "cheap Chinese flashlights as bicycle lights" and he was completely correct. Sorry if you seem to think that you know anything about anything but you have shown yourself to be a great deal heavier on opinion than knowledge of anything. |
