You must have gone to public schools where they carefully avoid letting you understand such things. I didn’t know those terms either until I started educating myself as an adult.

No one has the power to "let me" understand something. Only I have that power.

I posed the question to the kids last night at the dinner table -- is education a fundamental right? The conversation was brief, but interesting. They both answered "yes?" in that rising tone that makes clear they're unsure about the answer. So I rephrased and asked how we get educated. "Teachers". "So if we all have a fundamental right to education, does that mean we can force people to teach us?"

Then there was a comment: "Well we can learn on the internet". And then we talked about web content, and whether we could force people to create it for free for our own benefit.

Sometimes (usually?), politicians are so unbelievably fucking stupid.

Awesome photos, Stan.

I haven't flown in a few years, now. Sometime when life calms down I'll get back into it. Maybe retire to an aviation community.

Here's my third-to-last landing - not my best!

Of course remove all women from the workforce!

And we want dirty air and dirty water too!  I love how libs argue in the ridiculous extremes.   Always tells me they're losing the argument.   We're sexist and racist too,  right?

Why do I waste my time.

You and I aren't having an argument. You're just taking pot-shots without marrying your points with the subject.

We have a high-schooler in congress.

Thank you for confirming that my in-laws are fools.  When they point out something that Trump said or did, I often inform them that Obama did the same thing.  They scoff and say I watch too much FOX.

Willful fools. And millions more like them. I like to think we're better than that here at Pilot Spin, where we do our best not to base our points on logical fallacies and worthless equivalences.

I’ll bring some Wisconsin beer, you bring some Yuengling, and Lucifer can bring...well he can just leave that Lone Star crap in Hell.

Sorry, I don't like beer that's been frozen and then un-thawed, so I'll skip the Wisconsin beer.
