I heard about the March for Science and thought the whole thing was dumb myself. Between this and the hats they really are doing some serious Religious Right based fearmongering, aren't they? Never mind that Trump hasn't done any real pandering to them... I suspect that that particular brand of scares is aimed more at Congress and Pence, actually, but it doesn't look like the public is buying regardless.<br /><br />That commercial sounds weird, too... Who would volunteer that kind of information in the first place? People don't like to be uncomfortable down there anyway so I'm sure women figure out the right size quickly. Between the smoking and Lord of the Flies in the Bahamas the Rich Kids of Instagram aren't having a good time lately, are they? Can't say I feel sorry for them though.<br /><br /> - DanielArgentGalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173296751792700318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-25197802017336448642017-05-03T10:25:30.807-04:002017-05-03T10:25:30.807-04:00Andrew - As to the March for Science/March for The...Andrew - As to the March for Science/March for The Earth or whatever, I had an interesting tweet-ersation with one young woman that kind of went like this...<br /><br />Someone else: OK what am I not getting about the March for Science? Because to me it seems utterly devoid of a point or any narrative cohesion<br /><br />Girl at March: It's okay. No one needs you to get. Those who marched or who supported the march in some way got it and that's all that matters.<br /><br />ME: I am glad that Martin Luther King et al. didn't see it that way..<br />Girl at March: In no way is equal rights for the same as a "march for science". Also MLK understood many would never change. He wanted the LAW to change.<br /><br />ME: Actually, the point is the Civil Right marches had a clear objective...change the LAW. Weekly undefined rant/protests gets no one anywhere.<br /><br />GaM: Didn't you just argue both sides of the point? The science march wasn't a "weekly rant", but again, it's okay if folks don't get it.<br /><br />it devolved from there to basically - "People like you" would never understand anyway.<br /><br />And yes, by this time the Tea Party had clear objectives because we started out with clear objectives - Demanding Fiscal responsibility from our governments...that they work for us, we do not work for them. Hold our elected officials accountable or vote them out. It devolved into the social policy mess later on.

Uh, there's no smoking allowed in any public building in NYC, so I wonder if all of those MET Ball goers are going to be fined or is this just one more example of DeBlasio's "Tale of Two Cities"?BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-83009670150954296602017-05-02T23:36:36.641-04:002017-05-02T23:36:36.641-04:00tryanmax, So true.
