You are a treasure, Skeptic Darrel, for your entertainment value alone.

I fear this for my own actions, too, but your rigid extremity on some points may be unpredictability productive or counter-productive in the slippery political mud-wrestling arena. That depends, of course, on where you think the "cattle" should be stampeded compared to where they actually go.

I happen to think that Ohio rust-belt unemployed will ***like*** Arizona, even with its hot summers, as they build wind turbine blades there.

This counter-flow point was brought up by CBM recently, that "bullying" causes the object of the coercion to switch off the logic and just act on obstinate emotion. Oh, well.

"Bullying" or not, sadistically showing "truths" that need to be accepted and adapted to, just should be done, if one has a moralistic sense of actual progress being necessary and possible.
