    Weird. I heard that measure was largely defanged or meddled with to basically open up natural water sources to corporate grab-ups (IIRC). There was a Guardian article on that, mentioning how...

    It may start to happen when enough rich people wake up to find their mansions destroyed by freak brush fires or superstorms. Self-interest and all that.

    At the end of the day, both Presidential candidates will be corporate-friendly ones. The difference is one tends to have a better "bedside manner" with people of different ethnicities and...

    So........maybe once I get a better job in some odd years, I'll vacay in Kauai. I kind of want to hurry up and enjoy the "Yosemite of the Pacific" before climate change has its way with it, like it...

    Well it’s good to know we have the vastly less offensive term, “person/people of color” now………….Yes, the words essentially rearranged. Cause reasons.

    Having kids feels nowadays more and more like a hustle by these shitty corporate employers and the congressmen they're in bed with to lock you in to working your ass off in a thankless position for...

    Though the more successful examples of ones we do have I think warrant looking into further as a potential model to emulate. Cause what's currently going on in the places like the U.S. and U.K. might...

    So the Scandinavian region somehow managed a decent “balancing act”. Good to know. Hope they continue to advance and go far without becoming just another corpo racket.

    On the subject of psychopathic billionaires ruining the country by influencing laws and government, I have to ask: which modern nations around the world have the least amount of this kind of...

    Yep. A lifetime of staying away from cigarettes only to get lung cancer later in life anyway because Canada itself wont stop chain smoking in my face. Great.

    You never know. They might each have at least a parent/grandparent or documented ancestor who has dark skin……..if we’re generously giving the benefit of the doubt, that is.

    I’ve come across a fair few Hitchens excerpts, obnoxious or otherwise, but I’ve yet to find one where he calls for religious types, including Muslims to be terrorized, barred from establishments, or...

    I honestly thought it was one of the more interesting ways for a mutation to manifest while still being advantageous. If ever there was a character who embodied the slogan “Keep mutants weird”, it...

    Though I can understand how one would come to undervalue it, as illustrated by Malcolm in The Middle:
