Went to see Sam Harris, Rebecca Goldstein (philosopher, author & National Humanities Medalist), and Max Tegmark (Swedish-born MIT cosmologist) recently. The event got quite a few laughs, even though it wasn't quite sold out. FWIW, the vast majority of the audience appeared to be under 30 and very white (no East Asians that I remember, but there may have been a few Middle Eastern patrons - I wasn't sure - and almost certainly no black people).
Don't know if it will be linked here soon, but I hope so.
I also slipped a note to security, asking them to pass it on to Harris - I enjoy his books, but one thing he wrote struck me as poorly thought out.
Btw, Michelle (so you won't miss this), I responded to you today in the Jan. 8th thread.

You can bomb "shithole" countries and nobody bats an eye. Call them "shithole" countries and everyone loses their minds.

And then unintentionally tell the world which nations are shitholes because they think it's about them.

Can't even bear to spell her name, huh? Don't blame you - but you're trying to block "two wrongs".
Nope. When a thing is wrong, it's wrong regardless of who else does it. You know that, but you're obsessed, so you missed it.
So Trump fans are completely free to point out Hillary's faults, of which there are many. Then, Hillary fans (or, those who are merely mad) are free to point out Trump's faults, of which there are also many.
Now, we can compare. Right?
How's that working out for you?

you mean HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, Raddy? Is Hillary Clinton who you were talking about?
No, just needed to stretch one sentence to two comments to including all the Trump-brutalizing links.
I think you are so full of shit.

"I think you are so full of shit."
I'm not justifying two wrongs, and you are.
There you go.
And read back. Before you caught Fake Tan disease, you made sense. Count the words.
Right on point?

rump's adoring voters, no matter how dim or needy, shall never again be permitted to whine about Hillary's corruption.

This should warm Patrick's heart. Mizzou being sued for wrongful termination of a dean who questioned their admissions policies in the medical school.
