The next few days and then possibly the next few hundred days will sure define our future.

The real changes that are necessary are in league with keeping government out of our everyday affairs and in keeping a spirit of achievers not adding more regulations, fees, buracracy, and a culture of people that believe they have happiness-rights and expectations that someone will help-me-get-that-too.

So sexism appears rampent in the democratic party. Of course, it's not really sexism so much as a willingness to do and say and follow anything to advance their individual causes. 

Getting in shape is likely to come handy whether in uniform or out. I wish I could manage that.

 

The adverse reactions of democrats are more out of surprise that anyone could disagree with the status quo they see reported on CNN, Good Morning America, David Letterman, the Times, et cetera, then it does about anything you actually said.

My Daughter and I have been discussing the election a lot lately (or rather I am foaming at the mouth about it and she tries to understand why I am so upset). She started a conversation the other day with "I respect your opinion." She meant it sincerely and I knew it. Still, she got back from me, "That's fine, but I may not respect yours." To which I added, "I don't really want your respect until you can show me your logic or you can see mine."

Wife and I had a big disagreement (argument) recently over whether an opinion could be disrepected or even called wrong. Again, I stated that not all opinions are worth respect, and in a two sided argument with two differeing opinions, one (or maybe even both) is surely wrong.

I laugh and cry at the fact that those statements will blow the mind of any democrat you meet. They as a rule and a herd fail to understand that opinion is merely a substitute for a hypothesis.

A Hypothesis most definitely can be wrong. Some most definitely should be derided based on any lack of logic used to formulate them. We can pose a hypothesis that the sky is blue because the ground is green and the sun yellow, but not only is that wrong, and not only isn't there a logical basis for it (except the minor observation that negative color combinations support it), but it also doesn't account for all of the already available data that the sky is blue even when the ground is brown, white, or red!

An opinion can be wrong -- it merely awaits an application of proof that it is.

My daughter tells me everyone at her school is for Obama. Although she is brave enough to raise her hand for McCain; she is the only one that does so.  

 

Further, she says every conversation she has on the subject begins with, "I respect your opinion / position...".

It's time we stop respecting and get to the proving your opinion is even logical, let alone correct (or incorrect).
