AVG-TimeTrip # 007 I'm imagining another Time Trip.... 008: This Time we are going back to the early 1800's to convince the power-brokers of the day to halt the Westward Expansion of their young USA at the Mississippi River, actually leaving the land to the west of the river to The First...

2026 Dilemma: Are you more willing to give up some freedom and privacy for increased security? :dunno: Could I be content in a World that has more privacy and freedom, but leaving 'home' means that I may run in to opinions, people and weirdos that make me uncomfortable? :eusa_think...

Capitalism and competition are wonderful things, but the answer to everything they are not. Government is just another tool..... it's the Monkey Business that gums it up. :iagree: :popcorn:

Proving once again that Momma's Little Bastard Monkeys can accomplish so much more with cooperation than conflict. Good job. :thup: Weird timing, but good job. :popcorn:

Just make them ALL stop. Please. `

Sure... UnGerrymander 'em. I've NEVER stated that the Gerrymandering done by Democrats was acceptable. I'm the guy who expressed sadness over this Gerrymander fight that Trump started. How about you call out Trump for that? How about you and I try to agree that ALL Gerrymandering MUST...

Ummmm... Its been a while since I read the story, but I seem to remember Ismael being the OLDER brother. Besides, I'm simply pointing out that, all of the religious nonsense aside, thinking of Israel as the last of the European Colonial expansions explains a LOT. NObody has clean hands, not...

Well.... I respect your opinion even when I disagree. I do NOT see how you can defend the Republicans on the Gerrymander issue. Both parties are demonically involved and BOTH parties need to stop.

Of course they perfected it decades ago. Almost a century now have both parties been playing the game where they had the power to do so. And just when California and others were working hard to perfect a more fair and transparent method of drawing districts, Trump starts a Gerrymander fight...

If we can't agree on that, we're fucked as a country.

Like I said... It doesn't matter. The corruption needs to stop. :popcorn:

Besides... the point is not who is better at it... The point is for all sides to stop.

Entire states? Really? If you can name them, instead of throwing out a blind, unproven stat, I will be impressed. :popcorn:

Perhaps.... But the Republicans are much better at it. And I will certainly take my chances with fairly drawn political districts in this country. Gerrymandering is how outdated politicians with bad ideas remain in power. I don't care what party wins as long as the process is fair and...
