  4. Until we get rid of the electoral college and implement multimember districts not based on gerrymandering, third parties ain't gonna happen except as a spoiler for the party they siphon a few votes off of
  5. Countdown to a republican using the annoying term "nothing burger" for something that is quite a big something burger

  7. Sorry about the Sagan bombardment, all this shotbgas got me thinking a lot of when I saw him speak as a freshman at UT at Bass Concert Hall. definitely had an impact
  8. “I worry that, especially as the Millennium edges nearer, pseudoscience and superstition will seem year by year more tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and attractive. Where have we heard it before? Whenever our ethnic or national prejudices are aroused, in times of scarcity, during challenges to national self-esteem or nerve, when we agonize about our diminished cosmic place and purpose, or when fanaticism is bubbling up around us - then, habits of thought familiar from ages past reach for the controls. The candle flame gutters. Its little pool of light trembles. Darkness gathers. The demons begin to stir.” Sagan-1995
  9. “We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.” Sagan-1995
  10. “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” Carl Sagan -The Demon Haunted World (1995)
  11. I remember when I was a kid, I was getting out of the theater with my parents when a mugger came up and tried to steal my mom's pearls. My dad tried to fight him but they both ended up getting shot and dying. Since then I have sworn an oath to pursue justice against all evildoers. I will add this lighter and gas pump technique to my repertoire.
  12. Nope, Caprock. We did often pick up smokes there for my friend’s mom though.
