I felt it right at the time I needed to feel it. Coincidences like that make me wonder if there is a god. I have no idea at all how that bulldozer got into my suit coat pocket.

Yes, I pointed that out up thread. But what she did was not encourage Dem voters to go vote in the primary for Todd.
I guess my brain doesn’t do machinations and maneuvering very well. Also I don’t like change, or limits on my right to pick the best Republican that will ultimately represent me in the state or Congress.

No, I’m pretty sure he had nothing to do with it. It was one of my son’s toys.
I might have thought that his mother dropped it in there, but…right before I took my comps, I was having one of those falling dreams. I was talking in my sleep, “Help me–I’m falling–help.” I woke up lying on the floor, having fallen out of bed. She was sitting up in the bed laughing her ass off. When I asked her why she didn’t reach out and touch me, or say something, she said, “You were there on the edge of the bed. I wanted to see what was going to happen.”
As my wife says, “And yet, you procreated with this woman!”

Gotta love the chutzpah of ‘cracking down’ on people who cleaned up the mess you tried to create for an electoral advantage.
Thieves and liars have more moral fortitude than Republicans.

For that I do not have enough hard factual information. I sorta lean to Buddhism. I admire the Dalai Lama and his push for compassion. It’s too bad more folks don’t listen to what he has to say. And the Chinese are absolutely evil in their treatment of him, the Panchen Lama and Tibet. “Kundun” is a very interesting movie.

I too lack hard factual information. (NB: I said wonder if, not demonstration of. If there is a god, it’s not some ill-tempered greybeard flinging lightning bolts around. That TMFWSNBN continues to walk this rock is sufficient factual information to rule that possibility out.)

The way successive Chinese governments have treated the Tibetan people is an atrocity that shows no sign of abating.
On the other hand, there were democracy activists in Tibet – feudal Tibet – even before Mao invaded in 1950.
Could history have taken a better path? It’s possible but I am not certain.

That’s an interesting counterfactual: what if the Kuomintang won the Chinese civil war?
I’m afraid I don’t know nearly enough Chinese history to begin to try to answer it.

Plus there’s the role that Westerners played – at times a major role, especially in the “opening up” of the country.

The Boxer rebellion, the second triangular trade (opium for silver for silk) and all that?
The “opening” of China was the end of the Chinese monarchy, wasn’t it? It didn’t collapse immediately, of course.

CA is almost 3% more, NY is 1.8%, FL 1.4%, TX slightly less than .5%.
Big Blue States do a lot for this Country, everyone benefits from our efforts, and that’s fine, but maybe those who criticize us need to put a sock in it, eh?
