Hey Sean, I am appreciative of your posting again after what seems like a long hiatus. My views have evolved over the years since the 60's and the Vietnam War, left progressive in scope. Although, precisely defining my views at the moment would take too much time since I am working on a job proposal which is due in 4 hours. I have backed away from most posting here for the very reason that extremist views have been promulgated here i.e, bigotry in all forms and in particular, the Trump threads. I can send a PM when I have the time.

This quote from U.S. Army Captain G.M. Gilbert applies to this time as well as then. Captain G. M. Gilbert, the Army psychologist assigned to watching the defendants at the Nuremberg trails

Frank Luntz PhD is the political operative propagandist that changed AGW to climate change. Luntz uses focus groups to manipulate public opinion. I won't belabor the point at this time, but it is imperative to understand language and the effect on the mind. Words matter! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q9J0K6/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0

That is an insult/ad hominem. Further, with the extremists that post here and online, I never will give the benefit of the doubt or read between the lines. You write it and are responsible for the content. Words matter!

Wrong! The other member suggests that Trump has defeated the FBI and CIA, is advocating an overthrow of a major branch of government. That is not Trump's job to destroy the government. What part of what I wrote don't you understand? I suggest going back and reading history/political theory for starters. An English lesson is in order. synonyms: dictatorial, despotic, autocratic, oppressive, repressive, fascistic, tyrannous, absolute, totalitarian, arbitrary, undemocratic, antidemocratic, illiberal; characteristic of tyranny; oppressive and controlling.

Defeat? What you are calling defeat is tyrannical! He is not a king as you and millions of Trump sycophants think he is.

Don't bother addressing any responses to me since most of you are on ignore.

Will you stop it. I never mentioned race, but culture, evolutionary adaptation in that the amount of melanin in the majority of the population is what I said! Leave me alone or I will report you to the admin!

I am done with this thread given that it has been derailed into the subject of so called racial classification, conspiracy theories and anti-science!

This data contradicts. Hispanic is 53.6%. in Santa Fe NM http://www.city-data.com/city/Santa-Fe-New-Mexico.html

I am with Void on this in that he as well as I have been presenting evidence. I could care less about your slanted two question test!

Not illegals but the indigenous population (Pueblo) that have been here for up to 1000 years as well as the Spanish Conquistadors and Mexicans ( settled in what is presently the U.S.) at least a century before Jamestown) in which their descendants are the majority of the population. When you stated those "brown people."

Just for the record, I happen to have more melanin that the average person here in the U.S. and less than the majority of the population here in Santa Fe. When you denigrate "brown people" (those are your words and not mine, thus the quotes) as being inferior, then you are speaking directly to me on this forum as well as anyone who has more melanin and a darker complexion.

Do you stop and read what you have written? Dividing up cultures by the amount of melanin in their skin which by the way is an evolutionary adaptation is naive and not supported by science. There is only one species of humans, Homo sapiens.

The link regarding the Halocene extinction can be confirmed over many sites. This is not political but factual.

Old Student stated the problem regarding reversal of AGW very well!

I wrote a paper on nuclear power during my freshman year at Ohio State and Amory Lovins book was one of my references. Nothing has changed to make nuclear power the viable source that pipe dreamers so desperately want. Fukushima and Chernobyl are pertinent examples. Engineers erect additional storage tanks which are eventually filled to capacity with no room for additional tanks and radioactive waste water ends up in the Pacific Ocean. The same corporation that built Fukushima wants to construct more here in the U.S. https://www.amazon.com/Non-Nuclear-Futures-Ethical-Energy-Strategy/dp/0060907770

White liberal guilt? It was Frank Luntz that changed the precise term of AGW to climate change. I never use that term given that I am not a brainwashed lackey.

The Tao is about the inter connectivity of all life and whatever humans do will have far ranging effects. That is a very simplistic explanation.

Actually you don’t. You are more of the position of squishing dissent which you fail to understand.

Are you a research scientist?

‘Don’t tell me to wake up or make condescending remarks such as “babbling, histrionic, childish morons” which are remarks towards others and not policy. Are you somehow superior to others with no faults of your own? Given the amount of species becoming extinct the biosphere is experiencing the 6th mass extinction or Holocene extinction. That is a fact! https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/biodiversity/elements_of_biodiversity/extinction_crisis/

Take your hate for progressives somewhere else! As Void said this is a Taoist site. There is no room for using those tactics to destroy dissent that you don’t agree with. Why not discuss scientific investigation as opposed to derailing this important issue.
