Neuroscience reporting exaggerates neuroscience knowledge. We can't do half of what you people think we can. I block whiners and anyone who feels that they are too fragile to read words.

Thanks. While traveling in the West, which we do frequently, we've detoured to Manzanar and Heart Mountain as what we consider an American duty. The Park Service does a good job with these sites. The buildings and guard towers remaining at Manzanar evoke Auschwitz.

Yes, German-American clubs and after-school German language schools were everywhere and have never returned. There were Bund chapters, too, lots of them.That's another issue.

How in God's name didn't I know this. In my defense, they were mostly German nationals and people who were individually determined to be a risk. Thank you for telling me about this.

Here are Qs for those who were unaware. Why were Japanese Americans sent to camps and German Americans were not? Also, why was the Supreme Commander of all Allied forces a German-American while no AJA was allowed to serve until almost the end of the war, even then in segregated units?

Normal. They'll form roots if they touch the ground. Some people lower these parts of their indeterminate plants to the ground as the bottom of the plant fruits and then wilts. These sections will form vigorous roots. I'll do this more than once during a season, using a string hanging method.

Now I won't sugarcoat things. It's bad. But I just want to remind folks this country has been in dark, fascistic places before. Those times were long, but they weren't forever. More importantly, they inspired action in everyday American citizens.

Man, I LOVED WP, but had to switch to Word because of Dragon Naturally Speaking. Now that I'm retired and not dictating every day, maybe I'll switch back. Thanks for the memory.

They hooked up on Raya, according to the interwebs, so I'm calling shenanigans. Raya is for rich and/or famous people by invitation only, so, no, I'm not buying that he didn't know AND didn't Google her.

There are so SO many conditions in old age that cause cognitive disinhibition plus all the drugs that do the same. And hospice no little to lose. Take the compliment.

My dad used to say that 1/3 of Americans would do nothing while the second third put the other third in camps. For many of our neighbors those images would be delightful. Other neighbors will look away.

Chevron famously said, "Judges are not experts in the field, and are not part of either political branch of the Government." Today, Roberts and the other chaos agents on the court say: "Judges are the only experts in any field, and can dictate policy to either political branch of the Gov't"

My first thought was so what, I'll walk an extra block, but for all of you who don't have a Walgreens or CVS or Rite Aid on every corner, and actually will be hurt by this: CVS, Amazon, and Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs will mail your meds to you, and Cuban will do it for way WAY less $$ in most cases

I used to enjoy arguing online. Then I tried blocking without engaging and, honestly, it's so much better than brawling.
