2020 Presidential Debates aka night 1 "The Cleveland Steamer"
Felt it was better to have a seperate debate thread to not have these performances get lost in the wider discussion. This thread can include the VP debate when it happens.I will be listening during my shift driving tonight so will add whatever thoughts I can remember or what comes to mind as I read through the thread for…

Just wanted to know what some of the things you liked/disliked about the person you planned on voting for?

Why are we encouraging mail-in voting...
when we know this administration is going to do everything in its power to suppress and invalidate it? I get 100% the concern with COVID-19. Heck I myself have been to about 5 places in 6 months just for essentials so I get being cautious. That being said in such an important election I would think the best way to make…

Social Media, The Good, Bad & Ugly & The Future
Some recent posts and comments regarding social media and regulation prompted me to start a thread with the following essay. I hadn't heard of the two women referenced but remember the parking lot incident. Its a challenging issue and one worthy of debate. And yes, please get your kids' pictures off of the web. From…

Are Democrats exhibiting epic fail on climate change?
After I get done writing this, I will go outside in the yard and start breaking shit so I don't hurt anything in the house. Then I'll come back and hope someone has somehow been able to prove the premise of this article is wrong. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/12/wildfires-democrats-climate-crisis As fires…

Vacation?
So the wife and I are taking a vacation the 1st week of November. Maybe we have lost our minds, but oh well. We love Disney, and we are gong. We will be wearing masks at all the parks, we will be getting on airplanes with our masks on. And I guess people can think I am foolish. But is it just as foolish as going to the…

Riots/Looting/Violence and general post-George Floyd madness
There's been so much of this stuff going on since the George Floyd killing, yet we've been posting about it in various threads ("Black Lives Matter", "Seattle Has Fallen", "Donald Trump", "Biden vs. Trump", "Police Abuse", etc.) So here's all a catch-all thread for all that sort of stuff. I'll start it off with a an…

Lou Brock and Tom Seaver RIP
Anyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s as most of us did cannot forget these guys. They transcended sport. Let us remember that we are all on The Long Road as soon as we are allowed to be born. Ultimate sadness today. Be nice to each other.

Andrew Yang's Humanity Forward Movement
Here is a candidate who is gaining ground and yet was excluded from the most recent debate. (In the video linked, go to around 17:20 in the video below to get a better picture of why that is.) I hope that changes- I would very much like to see Yang back in the debates. In any case, Yang seems to have fallen off the radar…

Whale Wars= total incompetance
I know its been discussed before but after watching several episodes tonight I am further reminded of the total failure that is the Sea Shepherd. They obviously lack a safety management system, they have a very, very poor communication system in place and are clearly ill prepared to be doing what they are doing. I give…

It's not The Worst Hard Time.
Do I like to bitch about things? Oh boy, do I ever! But I was thinking about all this stuff today (including pandemic, fires, social unrest, hurricanes, mega-fires and 45), and it occurred to me that maybe it would help if we stopped and thought about how there have been worse hard times as in: those who were subjected to…

All the best to our TX/LA friends (Hurricane)
150mph winds and climbing. There’s going to be folks dying tonight from this storm and thousands of homes and businesses destroyed. I’ve been through some legendary storms but none with winds that high. Didn’t know where to post this but since its a current event i stuck it here. Be safe.

Political Parties Are Special Interest Groups, Change My Mind.
They aren’t in the constitution. Why do we continue this madness and not move to ranked choice voting with no party affiliation?
